Prospect of Precision Stainless Steel Pipe

Compared with other steel pipes, precision stainless steel tube has more irreplaceable advantages. For example, it is safe, reliable, environmental, economical and applicable. Its wall is thinner than that of others and it has new, reliable, simple and convenient connection ways. It is more and more frequently applied in the engineering industry. Moreover, it will be used more and more popular. The precision stainless steel pipe has a good prospect in the market.

Along with the implementation of the reform and opening up policy in China, many aspects has put forward new requirements for hot water supply and domestic water supply such as the rapid growth of national economy, rise of urban housing, public buildings and tourist facilities in great quantities. In particular, people pay more and more attention to water quality and the corresponding requirements also are enhanced unceasingly.

Under the influence of national policy, galvanized steel pipe, a commonly used pipe will gradually withdraw the historical stage because of the bad corrosion property. Therefore, plastic pipe, compound pipe and copper pipe will become the commonly used tubes of pipe system. But in many cases, the stainless steel tube has more advantages. Especially, the wall thickness is only 0.6 ~ 1.2 mm. Then, the thin-walled stainless steel tube safe, reliable, environmental, economical and applicable in high quality drinking water system, hot water system and water supply system which is give top priority to safety and healthy. It has been proved by the engineering practice at home and abroad to be one of the best comprehensive, new, energy saving and environmental properties of feed water system and it is also a kind of very competitive water supply pipe material. It must play an incomparable role for enhancing water quality and improving the level of people's life.

In the water supply pipe of construction, a variety of new plastic pipes and composite pipes has got rapid development, however, many kinds of pipes still exist some shortcomings in different degrees, which is far from being fully adjust to meet the needs of the water supply system and the requirements of drinking water and related water quality.

As a result, experts predict that building water supply pipe era will eventually recover back to metal tube time. According to foreign application experience, thin-walled stainless steel tube is one of the best steel tubes with comprehensive properties among metal tubes.
