Why are most stainless steel water pipes thin-walled?

When buying Bewell® stainless steel water pipes, some users believe that the wall thickness of the pipe can determine the quality of the pipe, and the thicker the wall of the pipe, the higher the quality of the stainless steel pipe. In fact, this view is wrong, the quality of stainless steel water pipes does not have much to do with the wall thickness. In general use scenarios, even for thin-walled stainless steel pipes, the strength of the material is more than sufficient and there is no need to worry about stainless steel pipes bursting or anything like that. So why are most stainless steel water pipes thin-walled?

Stainless steel water pipes are good, mainly because they will not leak, rust and so on, and this is directly related to the materials used in stainless steel water pipes, connection methods, construction techniques. So stainless steel water pipes are not the thicker the better. On the contrary, too thick a pipe will only result in a waste of materials, construction and other costs.
The thin-walled stainless steel water pipe currently used in the market is generally with reference to CJ/T151-2001 "thin-walled stainless steel water pipe" and GB/T19228.2-2003 "stainless steel pipe with thin-walled stainless steel pipe for snap-on pipe connection" standard production. cj/t151-2001 the People's Republic of China urban construction industry standard "thin-walled stainless steel water pipe" in table 4, which provides for stainless steel Water pipe of thin-walled and thick-walled two wall thickness standards. Specific wall thickness requirements are shown in the following table.

In fact, the 304 stainless steel water pipes are now generally thin-walled, stainless steel water pipes have a high compressive strength, long-term use without bursting, heat resistance and anti-aging, corrosion resistance without scaling, corrosion and rust prevention. We do not just look at the thin wall when purchasing thin-walled stainless steel water pipes, so how can we choose our preferred stainless steel water pipes?
1、Look at the connection method
Currently on the market in addition to the different materials, models, thin and thick stainless steel water pipes, connection methods are also very different. Known connection methods are: double card pressure type, single card pressure type, assembly type, welding type, groove type, socket welding type, threaded type, flange connection type and so on.
However, if you want to say that the connection method is more reliable, it is definitely the stainless steel water pipe with the snap-on connection method that is a little more reliable. Because the operation is easy, airtight, reliable and durable, so this stainless steel water pipe connection method is currently the most common is also the most used inside the home furnishing stainless steel water pipe.

2、Look at the water pipe material
Although they are stainless steel, but there are differences. For example, the material of stainless steel pipe is mainly 201, 304, 316, etc., but only 304 above the material of stainless steel is suitable for water pipes, mainly 201 and the following material of stainless steel is easy to rust.
In addition to the material also depends on the grade, must be food-grade stainless steel pipe can be used as stainless steel water pipe, this is also need to pay attention to.
3、Installation is also very important
Thin-walled stainless steel water pipe is not difficult to install, with the help of the card pressure tool can be easily installed, but still need to pay good attention to the details.
