Stainless steel pipe is a type of metal pipe and is one of the main forms of stainless steel materials; stainless steel materials also include: stainless steel sheet, stainless steel profile, stainless steel wire, stainless steel casting, forging, stainless steel wire (wire), the following can be regarded as stainless steel processing Product material stainless steel mesh, stainless steel pipe to accessories (valve, elbow, tee, clamp, joint, multi-way, joint, variable joint, flange, etc.), stainless steel standard parts, non-standard parts, etc. Once again, it gradually involves stainless steel products.
There are three types of materials: plates, tubes, profiles [rods, profiles, and wires]; there are many stainless steel products that will not be described in detail here.
Stainless steel pipe is a large category of stainless steel, and it is a very widely used material in stainless steel. Its characteristics are formed around two factors: 1: stainless, 2: pipe; therefore, its greatest characteristic is stainless performance, which is also all The commonality of stainless steel, so it will not be described in detail. We can look at the characteristics of the pipe: the characteristics of the pipe are a very important form of industrial materials: it shows the physical characteristics of a hollow, which can save costs and show a three-dimensional appearance. This cost-saving feature is one of the common characteristics of pipes. In addition, the important functions of the pipe are the inner air passage and the annular section, so the stainless steel pipe has the function of the pipeline, so it is not suitable for the fields of acid and alkali resistant fluid, gas transportation, food hygiene and beverage, chemical industry, oil and gas, shipbuilding, electric power, etc. alternative. Since pipes in the field of architectural decoration are also a major industrial material, the corrosion resistance and beautiful metallic appearance of stainless steel pipes have become one of the ideal materials, which is more expensive than steel, but the material density of stainless steel is high, so A balance between cost and benefit can also be achieved when reducing a certain thickness, so stainless steel pipes and stainless steel plates are in great demand in the field of architectural decoration engineering.
Let’s roughly sort out the uses of stainless steel pipes in real life and social production (roughly according to the wide range of uses and quantity from primary to secondary): decoration, processed products, industrial pipes, special uses (nuclear power, aviation, composite materials, medical equipment, Precision pipes, etc.); in general, the civil and industrial use of stainless steel pipes is very extensive. With the continuous improvement of affordable development, people’s living standards continue to improve, and the original industrial use of stainless steel pipes as the main market will gradually increase to civilian demand. A larger shift in direction, mainly because stainless steel is one of the special metal materials, and its price is higher. It is always a gradual process to meet the requirements and pursue quality. The irreplaceable advantages of its durability and other characteristics continue to promote the development of its field of use. Judging from the current market of stainless steel pipes in my country, the amount of industrial stainless steel pipes and civil stainless steel pipes (including decoration and construction materials) is equivalent.
