Detailed Technical Insights

Tensile & Bending Strength

Stainless steel 304 pipes & tubes stockists prioritize Grade 304 for its balanced mechanical performance. With tensile strength ≥520 MPa and yield strength ≥205 MPa, it resists deformation under high-pressure applications like structural frameworks and heat exchangers. Cold-rolled processing enhances grain uniformity, while annealing (heated to 1010–1120°C) ensures ductility for bending and welding.

Grade 316, ideal for marine environments, maintains tensile strength ≥515 MPa even in chloride-rich conditions, thanks to 2–3% molybdenum content.

Weight Calculation

Use the formula to estimate pipe weight:
$Weight (kg) = π \times (\frac{OD ^{2} - ( OD - 2 \times WT ) ^{2}}{4}) \times Length \times 7.85 \times 0.001$
Example: A 100mm OD × 10mm WT × 10m pipe weighs 231.85 kg.

Identification & Marking

Laser Etching: ASTM/AISI grades (e.g., "304") and manufacturer codes on pipe surfaces.
Color Coding: Blue for 304, yellow for 316, and red for 201 in cost effective stainless steel pipes and tubes.

Why Stainless Steel Rusts

Despite corrosion resistance, rust can occur due to:

Chloride Exposure: Coastal or industrial areas degrade passive chromium oxide layers. Grade 316 mitigates this with added molybdenum.
Mechanical Damage: Scratches during installation expose raw steel. Use nylon tools and protective films.
Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with carbon steel or aluminum. Insulate with dielectric fittings.
Low Chromium Content: Grades like 201 (16% Cr) are less resistant than 304 (18% Cr).

Applications of China Stainless Steel Pipe Tube

Sanitary Systems: Stainless steel 304 pipes & tubes stockists supply mirror-finished pipes for food processing and pharmaceuticals.
HVAC & Heat Exchangers: Seamless 316 pipes handle thermal cycling (up to 800°C) in boilers.
Marine Infrastructure: Welded 316L tubes resist saltwater corrosion in shipbuilding.
Construction: Cost effective stainless steel pipes and tubes (Grade 201) for handrails and roofing.
