There are plenty of materials that can be used to make tube and pipe fittings for your industrial and manufacturing needs. However, one of the most popular is stainless steel. The advantages that you gain by using stainless steel tube and pipe are many. Here are just a few of them.
Reduced Corrosion
Probably the most recognized asset of using stainless steel is that it is resistant to many chemicals and fluids. When your system uses harsh chemicals, there is the chance of corrosion happening internally. When stainless steel is used to plumb your system you may have a better chance of reduced corrosion.
Versatile
Stainless steel is versatile. Additives can be included during production to create different grades at different price points. These additives can include but are not limited to nickel and molybdenum. There is also the fact that it can be formed into virtually any dimension no matter how large or small, simple or complex the shapes might be.
Strength
A fluid system is only as strong as the fittings holding them together. Even heavy-duty plastic pipe can be damaged by some chemicals or impact from equipment. Stainless steel tube and pipe fittings, on the other hand, will better withstand impact and handle temperature extremes as well.
