Stainless Steel Pipe Thickness Decides Application

Time:2016.02.14 Source: http://www.sssshangshang.com Author:
Stainless steel pipe has a wide application in our life. We use stainless steel pipe in many fields. For example, we use mirror tubes for home decoration because it has polish surface. boiler and heat exchanger tube is often used in the heavy industry as heat exchanger tube has high temperature resistance. Stainless steel tube can be used for ship building as stainless steel pipe has good corrosion resistance.

In addition to the advantages, stainless steel pipe thickness, diameters and raw materials also affect the application of the stainless steel pipe. Let us take stainless steel pipe thickness as an example.

Usually, thick-wall stainless steel pipe is often used as petroleum geological drilling pipe, petrochemical cracking tubes, boiler tubes and aviation structural tube. As we all know, petroleum is a kind of widely used industrial raw materials and is recognized as the blood of the industry. People have been aware of the importance of the petroleum so the petroleum industry need thick-wall stainless steel pipes in case of leakage. In addition, once there is a leakage, the environment will also be polluted. Therefore, for petroleum industry, stainless steel pipe thickness is high.

Stainless steel thin-wall tube is often used for the fields in need of light tubes. As stainless steel is a kind of metal materials, the stainless steel pipe thickness proportional to the weight of the pipes. In order to reduce the weight, the stainless steel pipe should have thin wall. For instance, stainless steel pipes for the construction fields have thin walls. It is eco-friendly to use thin-wall stainless steel pipes for the construction industry because a lot of materials can be saved. As stainless steel materials have good strength, there is no need to use thick-wall pipes which consume a lot of raw materials to construct a building.

Large-diameter and small-diameter stainless steel pipes also have their own special applications. Large-diameter pipe can be used for water transportation because the efficiency can be high. Small diameter stainless steel pipes can be used for precision instrument manufacturing.

Apart from what we have mentioned above, there are many other types of stainless steel pipes. These pipes have become important parts in all fields of our life.
