Guidence of stainless steel pipes selection

Stainless steel is no stranger for us, it have a widely application in our lives. And the stainless steel have mandy different grades, such as 201, 202, 304, 316, 316L,430 and etc. Honestly, different application need to choose the different grade steels. Today we pay close attention on the stainless steel pipes, as we are a China manufacturer for stainless steel pipe and pipe fittings. We have some more professional experiences for steel pipe products.

First we should confirm what the steel pipe used to do, for example, drink water pipeline, transport something for food, milke, beers etc, all is about the healty, we should select the stainless steel sanitary pipe, it is food grade. It have the domestic GB/T 19228 and international standard ASTM A270. Know more about this, pls visit our website https://www.zkmetalpipe.com/stainless-steel-pipe_256. There is more different instruction for stainless steel standard, it can help you to confirm which standard is correct for your products. 

Second,corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance. Consider the environment in which the pipe will be used and choose a grade of stainless steel that offers adequate resistance to corrosion from chemicals, moisture or other substances present in the application. 

Third, mechanical properties, different grades of stainless steel have varying mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness. Evaluate the requirements of your application in terms of strength and durability and select a stainless steel grade that meets these specifications.

Forth, temperature resistance, the pipe used for the boiler and condenser,the stainless steel material should through the high or lower temperature pressure. 

Often times, we should consider the cost, evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the stainless steel pipe based on your budget and the overall lifecycle cost of the system. Consider factors such as mantenance, repairs and expected service life etc. Different application choose the different grade stainless steels.
