What are the characteristics of stainless steel pipes

1. Distortion: At the construction site, due to the limitations of the construction site, space, and construction tools, construction workers often use the plasticity of stainless steel pipes instead of forcing construction according to construction specifications. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the distortion factor at the connection between pipes and pipe fittings.

2. Excellent corrosion resistance: A thin protective film will be formed on the surface of the stainless steel pipe. Although this protective film is about 3×10-6 mm, it is solid. Even if it is damaged, as long as there is oxygen next to it, it can be regenerated immediately to prevent rust. As long as you know the characteristics of stainless steel and use it correctly, there is almost no need to worry about rust in less corrosive conditions such as water pipes or hot water up to 100°C, and there is no need to worry about galvanized steel pipes. The inner diameter becomes smaller or the resistance increases due to the common "rusty protrusions" inside, and the water flow can be obtained without clogging.

3. Because it is lighter, it can be easily transported and constructed, reducing costs. Due to its superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, 304 stainless steel pipe only requires about one-third of the thickness of galvanized steel pipe. Therefore, the weight of the pipe is greatly reduced, and the cost is also reduced, making transportation easier and installation more convenient.
