Production and application of stainless steel tube
We supply ASTM A312 Grade 304L, 316L, 316ti, 321 / H, 347 / H, 304H, 904L Stainless steel pipes are often used in applications requiring rigid materials for the transport of drinking water and food.
Manufacturers select stainless steel because certain synthetic materials have unwanted or unknown exposure effects while stainless steel has many desirable qualities to keep water clean.
Steel Pipes can also be used for structural support in buildings and vehicles. The terms "pipe" and "tube" are generally interchangeable, although technically, "pipe" implies high engineering qualities. The tubes are generally manufactured based on standard sizes.
Stainless Steel Pipe Production
There are two main pipe manufacturing methods that lend their names to pipe ratings.
Seamless. Seamless steel pipes are produced by extrusion. Extruded tubes can be formed in hot or cold processes. Long sections of steel bar are forced through a die that blocks the intended shape of the pipe.
Welded or Heavy Duty Electric Welded (ERW). This method involves the passage of a rolled steel plate through two weld rollers. The welding rollers have a groove around their circumference through which the steel roll passes. There is a contact at the roll seam that transmits electricity at a current high enough to weld the seam closed. The resulting weld is too small.
Each of these manufacturing processes allows manufacturers the ability to form different tube shapes and sizes. Pipes are not always cylindrical, and can be made in triangle, square or other polygonal shapes.
Steel pipes intended for certain applications require extra processes as well. Applications involving hydrogen must be factory pre-cleaned or certified as instrument grade due to reactive hydrogen characteristics that can cause metal embrittlement or even explosions.
Generally, a steel pipe fabrication process is chosen for its interaction with the type of steel to be used. Certain types of steel react poorly to heat because of their carbon content, so they cannot be easily welded. Steel types also play a role in decisions about use in volatile applications.
Stainless Steel Pipe Applications.
Stainless steel tubing is used in large numbers in plumbing applications. The reasons are three. One of them, stainless steel is very robust, made up of 80-90 percent steel and 10-20 percent chromium.
Stainless steel tubing can handle the types of pressures exerted by water on plumbing structures. In addition, the stainless steel surface does not allow much adhesion by particles or bacteria, so purification processes will not go beyond unintended debris. Finally, stainless steel does not contaminate drinking water.
