The high demand for pipes (including those with square and rectangular cross-sections) made of stainless steel grades is due to a whole range of advantages that a consumer gets, who decides to use this particular type of rolled metal:
- Ability to be used in the food and chemical industries - the material is absolutely neutral when interacting with products and active substances.
- Practicality of use - long service life (over 25 years) and no need for anti-corrosion treatment (painting, applying a protective layer).
- High aesthetic appearance - used for facades, handrails and street fences.
Production of stainless steel for the further manufacture of pipes does not differ in any special technological criteria. Depending on the method of its manufacture:
- Seamless - using industrial rolling mills from solid billets with calibration to specified dimensions (diameter, wall thickness).
- Welded (seam) - a variety of welding options are used (arc, laser, high-frequency, electron-beam). The main material (billet) is stainless steel sheet of the required thickness (strip).
Seamless pipes are distinguished by high strength and durability, welded pipes are of low cost and the availability of the necessary technological parameters that meet the parameters of the existing GOST (for example, for laying a pipeline on a dairy farm, there is no need to use a high-strength seamless stainless steel pipe).
How to choose the right stainless steel pipe
Despite the huge variety of pipes made of stainless steel, all of them are classified according to the current GOST parameters. Only a qualified specialist can select the required type for the performance (use) of certain works.
You can get professional advice on this issue online using the official website of the manufacturer and supplier of this type of rolled metal to the domestic market. The resource catalog contains a wide range of certified products of high quality and at affordable manufacturer prices.
