Types of Stainless Steel Pipe:

Stainless steel is a versatile material made up of a steel alloy and a small percentage of chromium — the addition of chromium increases the material's corrosion resistance, which is how it got its name. Because stainless steel is low-maintenance, oxidation resistant, and does not affect other metals with which it comes into contact, it is widely used in a wide range of applications, particularly in the manufacture of piping, tubing, and fittings. Stainless steel piping is classified into several types based on its intended use.

Steel Tubing and Stainless Steel Piping of Various Types

Pipes and tubes can be difficult to classify and are typically distinguished based on function. In addition to these categories, Jindal Stainless Steel pipe price is classified by type and grade.

Pipe 304 Stainless Steel

Because it is highly chemical and corrosion-resistant, type 304 stainless steel is a popular choice for tubing and piping applications. However, because of the materials. 08 percent carbon content limit, type 304 stainless steel is not suitable for applications requiring temperatures ranging from 800 to 1640 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Because it has a lower carbon content limit, stainless steel type 304L avoids this problem and can thus be subjected to welding and higher temperature applications. Other types of stainless steel frequently contain additives.

General Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Tubing

This steel type is suitable for applications that prioritize corrosion resistance over other characteristics. Steels that are ferritic or martensitic (made with the most chromium) are either heat-treated or annealed. Austenitic stainless steels (high chromium and nickel content) provide even greater resistance and can be used under the same general conditions as ferritic and martensitic types.

Pressure Pipe Made of Stainless Steel

This stainless steel pipe is made of either solid chromium or a chromium-nickel alloy. Seamless and welded stainless steel pressure pipe, electric fusion welded pipe for high-pressure applications, large-diameter welded pipe for corrosive or high-temperature applications, and seamless and welded ferritic and austenitic stainless steel pipe are all available.

Sanitary Stainless Steel Tubing

Sanitation is a top priority in applications where stainless steel tubing or piping must come into contact with food or other sensitive products. Stainless steel sanitary tubing is used in such applications due to its high corrosion resistance, lack of tarnish, and ease of cleaning. Tolerances can be achieved for specific applications. ASTMA270 is the most commonly used grade for these applications.
