Stainless steel pipe can be divided into a lot of varieties for example, stainless steel seamless pipe, stainless steel welded pipe, stainless steel capillary pipe and so on. Stainless steel pipe advantages like corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance decide that it has a lot of application in the industry. For example, stainless steel pipe is used in chemical and petroleum industry.

Stainless steel pipes for chemical and petroleum industry needs skimmed according to special requirements. The aim of degreasing is to avoid material handling skimmed or stored in case of grease or organic matter which may cause explosion and avoid the mix of storing oil and organic materials. Also, degreasing can control the fat content in order to ensure the activity of the catalyst. In addition, degreasing controls oil and organic matter content, in order to ensure purity of the product. No matter how many stainless steel pipe advantages there are, the stainless steel pipes installed must be degreasing part by part. If the stainless steel pipe cannot be disassembled, the degreasing should be performed before installation. The stainless steel pipe with obvious traces of oil or severe corrosion should be cleaned by steam purge, sand blasting or other methods before degreasing. 

Stainless steel tube can be skimmed by organic solvent (ethylene dichloride, trichloroethylene, solvent, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, industrial alcohol, acetone, etc.), concentrated nitric acid or lye. Industrial dichloroethane is applicable to metal degreasing. Industrial carbon tetrachloride is applicable to ferrous metals and non-metallic parts degreasing. Trichloroethylene is applicable to metal and non-ferrous metal parts degreasing and 88% concentrated nitric acid for skimmed part of the tube member of concentrated nitric acid unit and ceramic ring. 

When the outer surface of the stainless steel tube is covered with dirt, we should clean the dirt first with water, and natural drying. Then with a dry cloth impregnated wipe degreasing agent, and then dried in the open air. You can plug one end of the tube with a cork strict or closed by other means when performing the degreasing of the stainless steel pipe. Put the stainless steel pipe on a flat and clean place where there are sleepers or workbench soaked 60-80min, and rotate once every 20min. Valves, gaskets and other fittings should also be separately pickling before degreasing. 

After degreasing, the stainless steel pipe advantages are more than before. Such kind of pipe is more suitable for use.
