Stainless steel pipes are pipes that, as the name suggests they are stainless and durable. The stainless steel pipes are generally used in the piping system very commonly for the process of transport of fluids and gases.
Stainless steel pipes are manufactures from a steel alloy that contains nickel along with chromium, and this is why it has the ability to give stainless steel the property of being corrosion-free.
The focus here is on the two types of stainless steel pipes, such as the stainless steel pipes 304 as well as the stainless steel pipes 316
Stainless steel 316 has a very high level of strength and durability at elevated temperatures, and this is all due to the availability and addition of the molybdenum in it.
This is the reason the stainless steel 316 is ideal for the application in pumps, pipes, textile, valves and last but not least, chemical equipment and marine applications.
Product details
The stainless steel pipes 316 are very easier to clean, but they are very corrosion resistant as a result of the solvents and chemicals available in them. As a result of this nature in the stainless steel 316, the steel is preferred highly in surgical applications as well as the industrial.
The type 316 of stainless steel is considered to be harder than the stainless steel 304. The stainless steel 316 is basically made up of 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum. This type of steel is known to be the second most commonly used steel and has resistance to acids as well as other corrosions that are caused due to chloride ions.
Stainless steel 316 costs a bit higher, but it is a one-time expenditure as it is durable, especially when the enclosure is meant for the outdoor. Other prevalent uses of the stainless steel 316 are seen in the exhaust manifolds, jet engines, photographic equipment, and last but not least, the heat exchangers.
Today, the stainless steel 316 is also significantly seen to be used in the construction of yachts as well. As a final note
, we can see that stainless steel 316 is better than stainless steel 304 though both are
corrosion-resistant.
