Definition and Advantages of Thin-wall Stainless Steel Tube

Time:2016.05.25 Source: http://www.sssshangshang.com Author:
Stainless steel pipe is a kind of widely used materials in many industries. For example, large diameter stainless steel seamless pipe can be used for water supply. The capillary stainless steel pipe can be used in precision instrument manufacturing industry. Thick-wall welded stainless steel pipe can be used as boiler and heat exchanger tube.

Wall thicknesses of carbon steel and welded stainless steel pipe are most commonly (but not exclusively; see later comments) described by a “Schedule Number”. The wall thickness for a schedule varies according to the pipe size and is given in tables in the relevant specifications. Thin-wall stainless steel tube is one of the most widely-used welded stainless steel pipes in our life. As is shown in the name, thin-wall stainless steel pipe has thin wall. It refers to that the ratio of wall thickness to outer diameter of the stainless steel pipe is less than 6%.

The use of thin-wall stainless steel tube has risen since the 90s of the 20th century. In recent years, thin-wall stainless steel tube has become the most ideal product for construction and drinking water supply. As the demands for pipelines of construction water supply and drinking water supply are rapidly increasing, the market prospect of the thin-wall stainless steel tube is quite optimistic.

In order to promote the thin-wall stainless steel pipe, the welded stainless steel pipe manufacturers are making every effort to reduce the wall thickness and the costs for manufacturing the pipes. Thin-wall stainless steel pipe has advantages as follows:

Firstly, thin-wall stainless steel tube is completely recyclable. That is to say, the pipes will not be the rubbish which is difficult to deal with.

Secondly, the thin-wall stainless steel tube is can reduce the cost. As stainless steel pipe often has good corrosion resistance, users don’t need to replace the pipes from time to time.

Thirdly, thin wall stainless steel tube can reduce heat loss. The thermal property of welded stainless steel pipe is 24 times of the pipes made of copper materials.

Certainly, there are many other advantages of thin-wall stainless steel pipes. In addition to thin-wall stainless steel pipe, the other pipes also have many outstanding advantages. If there is a need of stainless steel pipes, you can go to www.sssshangshang.com and make an inquiry.
