Types of stainless steel pipes
Such products of the metallurgical industry as stainless steel pipes have been widely used. They are found in all branches of the national economy. High strength, corrosion resistance, long service life, aesthetic appearance - this is not a complete list of the advantages of products made of this material.Modern metallurgical production offers the consumer a wide range of products that allows you to choose a product according to the required parameters. The main features by which stainless steel pipes are divided:
- manufacturing technology;
- branches of application;
- geometric shape of the cross section.
Production
According to the technological features, all such products are divided intoelectrowelded and seamless. The welded pipe is made of steel sheet, which is rolled up to the required diameter and fastened with a straight or spiral welding seam using a special device.
The production of stainless steel pipes without seams can be carried out in several ways, according to which they are divided into solid, hot- and cold-rolled. Due to the absence of seams, they are sealed and easily withstand increased loads.
Scope of application
Stainless steel pipes are used in the laying of engineering communications, in the automotive, chemical and food industries. Profile ones are used in construction and in the manufacture of metal frames for various structures. Seamless can also serve as a fence for staircases, balconies and playgrounds.
Section shape
Stainless steel pipes have a square, round, oval or rectangular cross section. Its shape determines in which segment of the national economy this product will be used. Square and rectangular ones are resistant to bending, twisting and deformation, whereas traditional round ones easily take any desired shape. Thick-walled profile can serve as a support for building structures, as additional stiffeners give their walls increased strength.
Advantages
The demand for steel pipes is constantly growing. This can be explained by the undeniable advantages of the products, which include:
- long service life;
- simple installation of structures by using welded or threaded connections;
- possibility of use in a wide temperature range;
- high plasticity;
- protection from aggressive environments.
The production technology of modern stainless steel products allows them to be produced with a different type of outer coating. The surface can be polished, polished, matte or mirrored. For this reason, such details look organically in any design. Designers often use them as decor for plumbing and kitchen rooms, furniture, balconies and loggias. Such elements look original in apartments decorated in the loft or hi-tech style.
The treatment of the external surface is selected taking into account the further use of the finished product.
