Application and prospect of stainless steel pipes

China Product


Speaking of stainless steel products, we often think of their own home kitchen of stainless steel tableware, as well as the streets sparkling bar bar rails, and building surface decoration. In fact stainless steel as a good functional and structural materials in industrial and construction sector can play a role in an increasingly wide range of applications.

    The application of stainless steel pipes have many advantages. One of the biggest is the health and environmental protection (stainless steel is 100% recycled products), and long service life (typically 80 to 100 years). Stainless steel pipe is the best direct water delivery pipe. In addition, the stainless steel pipe leakage rate is very low, you can save precious water resources. Japan eighties of last century when the rate of water leakage in 17% leakage rate after the switch to stainless steel pipes to 7%. Kobe earthquake in Japan, the local water supply system was damaged, but the stainless steel plumbing system is intact. In addition, compared with the copper pipe, stainless steel pipe through water well, in the case of high flow rate does not corrode. Its insulation resistance is 24 times more copper.

    Affect the application of stainless steel pipes biggest problem is cost. It is estimated that: one-time investment cost of stainless steel pipe is about three times the normal galvanized pipe, pvc and other than the composite pipe is about 50% higher. However, if the cost over the life of the building include the cost advantage of stainless steel is very clear. The current design life of our architecture is generally 70 years, while ordinary galvanized pipe life span of only 10 to 20 years, the cost of pipeline replacement is much higher than the original investment. Considering, stainless steel pipe galvanized pipe life of low-cost than about 1 / 4. flexible drinking straws

    At present stainless steel pipes have been used and the Zhongnanhai in Beijing Great Hall of the water reform, Guangzhou Pearl River Zone and the University City building, and Fuzhou, Xi'an, Changsha and some of the development zone, will also be widely used in the Olympic Games facilities . plastic cocktail glasses

    Another application area is the construction, especially bridges and other public facilities. As the poor corrosion resistance of ordinary steel, bridges and other facilities made every 20 years or so we must overhaul, such as Beijing overpass because of a corroded steel expansion, has just spent two years of retirement will have to rebuild. The stainless steel bars because of excellent resistance to corrosion in the bridge's maintenance costs over the lifetime low. Considering the life of the, its cost is the lowest. plastic drinking straw

    Antibacterial stainless steel products in recent years is the new darling of the family of stainless steel, which is antibacterial stainless steel to add some elements such as copper, silver is made through special processing. This excellent antimicrobial self-cleaning of the application indicates that it is very bright future. For example: It is now common for a restaurant using chopsticks each time the cost of a penny, a year down the cost is more than 100 yuan. The use of antibacterial stainless steel chopsticks made about each of the dual price only, by using the five-year terms, and a pair of chopsticks can save 500 yuan or so. Only Japan can last antibacterial stainless steel production, can be expected, as more and more common to every family of stainless steel, while the material of this quality will certainly play a role in more areas.
