Stainless steel pipes are extremely durable and able to survive corrosion. Stainless steel pipes are used for the transmission of drinking water. In order to provide long term service and hygienic delivery of drinking water, it is essential that these pipes must be corrosion resistance to the water itself, soil chemistries, and treatment chemicals. Moreover, these pipes do not rust in any harsh condition, even if we exposed them to the elements, heat, and other excessive conditions. Due to these features, stainless steel pipes can be used for a wide array of applications including a number of structural applications. Let us see some benefits of using stainless steel pipes.
Corrosion Protection: Because in stainless steel pipes, internal and external coating is not required. This feature decreases the system cost and makes them more environment friendly.
Corrosion Resistance: stainless steel pipe (German word: edelstahlrohr) are considerably more resistant to oxidation by water and biocides than carbon steel, cast iron or ductile iron. This increases the life time of pipelines.
Better Ductility: In compared to carbon steel and cast iron pipes, stainless steel is duplex material and has higher mechanical properties. This permits a lessening in the wall thickness of the pipe without any required corrosion allowance. The better ductility is important in security issues like in the case of an earthquake.
Ease of Manufacture: As the stainless steel is adaptable material, thus it offers ease of forming, machining and welding, along with their good ductility. Moreover, it allows easy installation and modifications of pipelines.
Resistant to Erosion Corrosion: The stainless steels are much more resistant to erosion corrosion than carbon steel, particularly if sand particles are present.
Exceptional Durability: Because stainless steel is resistant to crevice corrosion, cavitations and can bear in pure and polluted waters as well as in atmosphere even if it is polluted, therefore they are cost effective for long term use and do not become the cause of environmental pollution.
Easy to Maintenance: Due to high corrosion resistance and easy welding, water leaks in stainless steel pipe can be drastically reduced, probably from 25% down to 5%. Thus, these pipes are goof for further cost savings. This is very important due to increasing cost of water and water treatment.
Edelstahlrohr sind grundsätzlich statisch in Wasser wegen ihrer hohen passiven Film Stabilität. Auswaschung von Legierungselementen ist innerhalb sicherer Grenzen. Damit bieten sie eine bessere Qualität des Trinkwassers.
