Common Types of Stainless Steel Pipes and Their Applications

Common Types of Stainless Steel Pipes and Their Applications

Date:2025-04-24View:22 Times


1. Stainless steel seamless pipe

Stainless steel seamless pipe is a kind of pipe material directly manufactured through processes such as piercing and rolling. There are no weld seams inside it. This special manufacturing process endows it with excellent pressure-bearing capacity, enabling it to withstand high pressure without leakage and other problems. Therefore, it plays a key role in high-temperature and high-pressure pipeline systems. For example, in the steam transmission pipelines of thermal power plants, due to the high temperature and pressure of steam, the requirements for the pressure-bearing capacity and high-temperature resistance of the pipe material are extremely high. Stainless steel seamless pipe can well meet these requirements and ensure the safe and efficient transmission of steam. In addition, in some occasions with high requirements for mechanical structural strength, such as the support frames of large mechanical equipment and the load-bearing structures of bridges, stainless steel seamless pipe is also widely adopted due to its excellent mechanical properties. It can withstand large external forces and loads, ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure.

 

2. Stainless Steel Welded Pipes

Stainless steel welded pipes are pipe materials formed by welding stainless steel plates or steel strips after being curled and shaped through welding processes. Compared with stainless steel seamless pipes, they have lower production costs, which gives them significant advantages in some application fields where cost sensitivity is high. In terms of fluid transportation, stainless steel welded pipes perform well. For example, in urban water supply systems, they can effectively convey domestic water and ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the water quality. At the same time, in the field of architectural decoration, stainless steel welded pipes have also been widely applied. They can be used to make decorative components such as balcony railings and stair handrails, and not only have good corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of outdoor environments, but also have a beautiful and elegant appearance, which can blend well with various architectural styles, adding modernity and fashion to the buildings.

 

3. Sanitary Stainless Steel Pipes

Sanitary stainless steel pipes are a type of stainless steel pipe with extremely high requirements for the surface quality of their inner walls. To meet hygiene standards, their inner walls are usually treated with mirror finish, making the inner wall surface smooth like a mirror, without dead corners or residues, which greatly reduces the possibility of bacterial growth. These pipes are particularly widely used in the food industry and pharmaceutical industry. In the food production process, such as for liquid transportation pipelines like milk and beverages, sanitary stainless steel pipes can ensure that food is not contaminated by the inner wall of the pipeline, guaranteeing the safety and hygiene of food. In the pharmaceutical industry, the production of drugs requires extremely strict environmental conditions. Sanitary stainless steel pipes can prevent chemical reactions between drugs and the inner wall of the pipeline or microbial contamination, thereby ensuring the purity and quality of drugs.

 

4. Polished Decorative Pipes

Polished decorative pipes are a type of stainless steel pipe designed to meet decorative requirements. Through a special polishing process, the surface of these pipes presents a bright luster, boasting extremely high aesthetic appeal. These pipes are commonly used in the manufacturing of stair railings, guardrails, and furniture. In the design of stair railings in high-end residences and commercial buildings, polished decorative pipes can showcase a luxurious and grand style, enhancing the quality and grade of the entire building. In furniture manufacturing, for instance, some modern minimalist-style metal furniture, using polished decorative pipes as frames or decorative elements, can increase the fashion and artistic appeal of the furniture, making it a highlight in home decoration.

 

5. Industrial Fluid Pipes

Industrial fluid pipes are specially designed stainless steel pipe materials for various fluid transportation in the industrial field. They possess excellent corrosion resistance and good sealing performance, and can adapt to various complex industrial environments. In the petroleum industry, industrial fluid pipes can be used in the pipeline systems of crude oil extraction, transportation, and processing, and can resist the erosion of various corrosive components in petroleum to ensure the smooth transportation of petroleum and production safety. In the chemical field, due to the wide variety of chemical substances and their corrosiveness, industrial fluid pipes can withstand the corrosion of various chemical media, providing reliable guarantees for fluid transportation in the chemical production process. In the boiler system, industrial fluid pipes are used to transport hot water, steam, etc., and their high-temperature and high-pressure resistance characteristics can ensure the normal operation of the boiler system.

 

6. Thick-walled stainless steel pipe

The characteristic of thick-walled stainless steel pipe is that its wall thickness is relatively large, which endows it with stronger impact resistance. In some large-scale structures or pressure vessels, they need to withstand considerable external forces and pressures. Thick-walled stainless steel pipes can exert their advantages in such cases. For instance, in marine engineering, parts such as offshore drilling platforms and the hull structure of ships require the use of thick-walled stainless steel pipes to resist the impact of ocean waves and the corrosion of seawater, ensuring the integrity and safety of the structures. In the manufacturing of pressure vessels, such as containers for storing liquefied gases or compressed gases, thick-walled stainless steel pipes can withstand the internal high pressure, preventing the vessels from deforming or cracking, and guaranteeing the safety of storage and transportation.

 

7. Thin-walled Stainless Steel Tube

The wall thickness of thin-walled stainless steel tubes is relatively thin, but they still possess excellent characteristics of stainless steel. This type of pipe material is suitable for applications such as water pipes, solar energy systems, and indoor exposed waterways. In household water supply systems, thin-walled stainless steel tubes are used as water pipes, featuring advantages such as corrosion resistance, hygiene, and environmental friendliness, ensuring the safety and health of household water supply. In solar energy systems, thin-walled stainless steel tubes can be used to connect various components of solar water heaters, with their good heat resistance and sealing performance ensuring the efficient operation of the solar energy system. For indoor exposed waterways, thin-walled stainless steel tubes have an attractive appearance, are easy to install and maintain, can match the interior decoration style, and will not rust or corrode due to long-term exposure to the air.
