Stainless steel pipe benefits
1, long service life
Stainless steel pipes have the longest service life. From the analysis of the application status of stainless steel pipes at home and abroad, the application life of stainless steel pipes has reached 100 years, at least 70 years, which is as long as the service life of buildings.
2, strong corrosion resistance
One of the most prominent advantages of stainless steel pipes is its excellent corrosion resistance, because stainless steel can passivate with oxidants, so it is slightly better than a variety of pipes.

3, good heat resistance and insulation performance
The thermal conductivity of stainless steel pipe is 1/25 of that of copper pipe and 1/4 of that of general steel pipe, which is very suitable for hot water transportation. The most commonly used stainless steel in the water industry is 316 and 304 stainless steel, which can meet most of the water treatment and transportation conditions.
4, high compressive strength
The tensile strength of 304 stainless steel pipe is 2 times that of steel pipe, and 8 to 10 times that of plastic pipe. The compressive strength of the material determines whether the water pipe is strong and crash-resistant, safe and stable. Safety and stability is the most important standard for building water supply, in the case of external force or external factors, the probability of stainless steel water leakage is very small.
304 is a versatile stainless steel pipe, which is widely used in the production of equipment and parts requiring good comprehensive properties (corrosion resistance and formability). 304 stainless steel pipe is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard, which is equivalent to China's 0Cr19Ni9 (0Cr18Ni9) stainless steel. 304 contains 19% chromium, 9% nickel, is the most widely used stainless steel, heat-resistant steel. Used in food production equipment, general chemical equipment, nuclear energy, etc.
