Summary of stainless steel pipe types and uses
Update:2024-02-18 View(s):462 Keywords :stainless steel pipes, stainless steel pipe types, stainless steel pipe uses
First, stainless steel decorative pipe
1. Material: mainly 201 and 304, with a small amount of 301 and 316
2. Purpose: Mainly used for decoration projects such as stairs, doors, windows and guardrails, and some products with lower requirements for piping
3. Features: bright surface, brushed or frosted, poor alignment
Second, stainless steel product pipes
1. Material: mainly 201, 304, 316
2.Usage: bathroom furniture, product piping, fluid pipes, etc.
3. Features: Strict requirements for positive and negative specifications, surface brightness and workmanship, etc., and there will be requirements for pipe bending, expansion and contraction, etc.
Third, stainless steel special-shaped pipes
When the quantity of special-shaped tubes is small, the round tube is generally formed by secondary pressure tube forming (except for grooved tubes). If the quantity is large, it can be customized. Due to different specifications, molds are sometimes lacking, and you may need to bear the corresponding mold costs.
1. Elliptical tube: regular elliptical tube, flat elliptical tube
2. Grooved tubes: round tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes, oval tubes, etc. can all be grooved. They are generally used for glass in guardrail frames.
3. Others: triangle, handrail, arch, fan shape, door frame tube, etc.
Fourth, stainless steel pattern pipe
The emergence of patterned pipes has changed the single appearance of traditional stainless steel pipes, which is refreshing. Recently, many pipe factories have launched patterned pipe projects
1. Ordinary embossing: traditional round tube embossed with gourd pattern section by section
2. European embossing: Patterns such as shapes, auspicious clouds, money, etc. are embossed on the surface of the pipe.
3. Threaded pipe
Fifth, colored stainless steel pipes
Coating a layer of color on the surface of stainless steel pipes, any material specification is acceptable. The processing cost will be increased based on the square meter of the pipe. In the past, the color plating was always less than four meters, but now gold, rose gold, and black titanium can be plated up to 6 meters. , colored tubes need to reduce the probability of welding and use linking parts
Sixth, stainless steel composite pipe
1. Stainless steel composite pipe: In the past two years, composite pipes with surface 304 and inner layer 201 appeared. Now after the price of 304 has dropped, composite pipes have become rare.
2. Carbon steel composite pipe: surface 201 or 304, internal carbon steel, surface thickness less than 1.0, generally used in highway guardrail projects
Seventh, stainless steel industrial pipes
Industrial pipes also include welded pipes and seamless pipes, which are mainly used in engineering structures, various types of pipelines, etc.
