What are the advantages of thin-walled stainless steel water pipes compared to other materials?

Consumers choose stainless steel water supply pipes for three main reasons: 1. health and environmental protection, 2. safety and reliability, 3. economy and applicability. Compared with other materials, thin-walled stainless steel pipe has many advantages, so it stands out in many pipes, has been recognized by the construction industry, and gradually become the new choice of owners. So, what are the advantages of thin-walled stainless steel water pipes compared to other material water pipes? Next, Zhejiang  Bewell Steel Industry Co., Ltd. manufacturers to explain in detail.




The two main advantages of thin-walled stainless steel water pipes compared to water pipes made of other materials.
One, the excellent characteristics of stainless steel water pipes

1. thin-walled stainless steel pipe material chemical performance is stable, does not contain any toxic elements and environmental pollutants. The inner wall of the pipe is smooth, not easy to rust, not easy to scale, safe and hygienic, all performance indicators are in line with the requirements of sanitary standards. Thin-walled stainless steel pipes can be used in direct drinking water systems, will not cause secondary contamination of the water in the pipeline, so as to fully meet the requirements of green health, in full compliance with the standards of direct drinking health water published by the WHO.

2. thin-walled stainless steel pipe has excellent mechanical properties, strong resistance to collision, good ductility and toughness, can withstand strong external forces, tensile strength is much higher than other pipes. In winter, plastic pipes may be due to low temperatures, the water in the pipe is prone to freezing, leading to bursting of the pipe, which requires careful protection. However thin-walled stainless steel water pipes are largely unaffected by temperature. It not only has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the effects of various acid and alkali salt solutions, but also has good high-temperature strength, excellent fire and thermal radiation resistance, small factors affected by thermal expansion and cold shrinkage, will not be in high temperature for a long time resulting in changes in performance and shape.

3. plastic tubes can not be changed into useful materials through recycling, the environment is very polluted, while thin-walled stainless steel tubes can be 100% recycled, will not pollute the environment. And because of its excellent characteristics, greatly reduce the possibility of water leakage by external forces of water pipes, saving water resources.

4.Although the price of stainless steel pipe is relatively higher than plastic pipe, but the service life of stainless steel pipe is recognized can be equal to the construction of housing, performance is also much better than plastic pipe, in the specified service life, almost no need for pipe maintenance, greatly reducing the cost of maintenance, comprehensive economic performance is relatively good.






Second, the installation of stainless steel water pipe connection is simple and efficient

At present, the common use is the card press type connection, groove type connection, welding type connection, flange type connection

1. Snap-on connection

The connection is connected with clamping tools. During installation, the thin-walled stainless steel pipe is inserted into the bearing port of the clamping fitting, and then the clamping tool is used to clamp the stainless steel pipe inside the fitting, forming a hexagonal shape at the cross-section, because there is an O-shaped rubber seal between the pipe and the fitting, which can ensure the tightness of the connection.

2. Grooved connection

This connection is suitable for thin-walled stainless steel water pipes greater than or equal to DN100, in the pipe connection with a groove press mechanism for groove interface, and then the clamps with lined seals into the groove interface, tighten the clamp bolts with tools to meet the sealing requirements. The groove connection is simple and efficient to operate, saving time and effort, with good sealing performance.

3. Welded connection

There are two types of thin-walled stainless steel pipe welding connections: socket argon arc welding and butt argon arc welding. Both welding methods are no joint fittings connection, but the general use of socket argon arc welding on DN15-DN100 stainless steel pipe connection does not require welding wire, while butt argon arc welding on the general greater than DN125 stainless steel water pipe connection requires welding wire.

4. Flange connection

Thin-walled stainless steel water pipe flange type connection is reliable and easy to maintain, but the installation is not flexible and the cost is high. Flange connection is a pair of flanges fixed in the two butt pipe opening, adding rubber washers in the middle, and then tighten the bolts to form a removable whole.

Comprehensive above said, the excellent performance of thin-walled stainless steel pipe has been verified by a large number of engineering projects, and has been widely used in foreign Zhejiang Bewell Steel Industry Co.,Ltd. believes that with the continuous growth of the national economy, the improvement of people's quality of life and the increasing attention to health, thin-walled stainless steel pipe will be widely used in various fields of engineering construction.
