What are the application ranges of stainless steel pipes

As the main steel material, stainless steel water pipes are widely used in our daily lives. In fields such as oil and gas transportation, structural grid manufacturing, and highway bridge manufacturing, it can be said that steel pipes not only reduce the weight of the brackets and save building materials but also make construction easier and easier. So what are the specifications of stainless steel pipes and the application scope of stainless steel pipes?

First, what are the classifications of stainless steel pipes?

1. Stainless steel pipes are classified according to material.

They are divided into ordinary carbon steel pipes, high-quality carbon structural steel pipes, alloy structural pipes, alloy steel pipes, bearing steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, as well as bimetallic composite pipes, plated and coated pipes to save precious metals and meet special requirements. There are many types of stainless steel pipes with different uses, different technical requirements, and different production methods. The current production of steel pipes has an outer diameter range of 0.1-4500mm and a wall thickness range of 0.01-250mm. To distinguish their characteristics, steel pipes are usually classified as follows.

2. Stainless steel pipes are classified according to the shape of the pipe end.

Stainless steel pipes can be divided into plain pipes and threaded pipes (threaded steel pipes) according to the condition of the pipe end. Threaded pipes can be divided into ordinary threaded pipes (pipes for low-pressure transportation of water, gas, etc., which are connected by ordinary cylindrical or conical pipe threads) and special threaded pipes (pipes for petroleum and geological drilling. For important threaded pipes, use Special thread connection), for some special pipes, to compensate for the influence of threads on the strength of the pipe end, the pipe end is usually thickened (internal thickening, external thickening or internal and external thickening) before threading.

Second, the application scope of stainless steel pipes

1. Stainless steel pipe is a kind of hollow strip steel. Many pipes are used to transport fluids, such as oil, natural gas, water, natural gas, steam, etc. Other pipes are relatively light in terms of bending strength and torsional strength. It is also widely used in the manufacture of mechanical parts and engineering structures. It is also commonly used in various daily life routines of production enterprises.

2. Stainless steel pipes are safe, reliable, hygienic environmentally friendly, and suitable for economic development. The thin-walled pipes and the development of various new, reliable, simple, and convenient connection methods have made them irreplaceable for many other pipes in China. With its advantages, it will be used more and more in engineering, and its application will become more and more widespread, with promising prospects.

3. Ordinary pipes such as galvanized steel pipes are prone to corrosion. Under the influence of relevant national policies, they will gradually participate in the previous historical stage. Plastic pipes, composite pipes, and copper pipes have become trivial to ordinary pipes. However, in many development situations in our country, stainless steel pipes have more advantages, especially thin-walled stainless steel pipes with a wall thickness of only 0.6 to 1.2 mm in drinking water systems, and hot water systems, and where safety and health issues are put first in China. The water supply system has the characteristics of reliable information security, health, environmental protection, and economic system adaptability. Engineering practice at home and abroad has proven that stainless steel pipe is a new type of pipe that is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and has a good water supply induction function. It is also a highly competitive water supply pipe. It will improve water quality and people’s living standards.
