Most modern buildings' water supply pipes are hidden so in the event of tube material selection error, the cost of solving the problem can be extremely high. Therefore, the selection of the right material for water supply pipes is very important. They can be made from several materials, stainless steel being one of them. Metallic Steel confirms that stainless steel pipes compare favorably to other materials.
The most commonly used stainless steel pipes in the water industry are 304 and 316 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel water pipe’s tensile strength is 2 times that of ordinary steel pipe. The strength of the material determines whether the water pipe can be strong and durable, safe and reliable.
The working pressure of a high building water supply system is generally higher than 6Mpa, and the pipe pressure is higher. Unlike other materials, stainless steel pipe can reach more than 10Mpa, especially for a high-rise water supply.
The thermal conductivity of stainless steel pipe is the 1/25 of the copper tube, thereby also making it suitable for conveying hot water.
One of stainless steel’s most prominent advantages is its corrosion resistance, which helps ensure durability, and long term performance.
