What are the differences between stainless steel decorative tubes and industrial pipes?
Due to the different uses, there are many differences in stainless steel decorative tubes and industrial pipes in terms of materials, technology, and surface.
let's take a closer look at the difference between stainless steel decorative tubes and industrial pipes?
1. Material
The stainless steel decorative tube is used indoors, and it is generally made of 201 and 304 stainless steel. The outdoor environment is more harsh or 316 materials are used in coastal areas.
Industrial pipes are mainly used as fluid transportation, heat exchanges, etc. Therefore, the tube's corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, pressure resistance, etc. all have certain requirements. Generally, 304, 316, and 316L of 300 series of stainless steel are selected; the heating pipes pay more attention to the high temperature resistance of the pipelines. Generally, 310S and 321 will be selected.
2. Production process
The decorative stainless steel pipe is welded, the raw materials are steel bands, and the steel belt is welded;
The industrial tube is a cold rolling or cold pull -out process. The raw material is round steel. It is made of round steel through perforation to a pipeline, and then the tube is made of cold rolling or cold pulling one after another.
3. surface
The stainless steel decorative tube is usually a bright tube, and the surface is normal or mirror state. In addition, the decorative tube also uses electroplating, paint, and spraying.
The surface of the industrial pipe is normally white surface, that is, sour noodles. Because the application environment of the pipe is humid and high temperature, some objects have corrosive performance, so the requirements of anti -oxidation are very high, so the pickled passivation can generate a dense oxidation on the surface of the pipeline. The film greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the pipe. There will be a small amount of black leather tubes, and sometimes it will be polished on the surface as needed, but the organizational effect cannot be compared with the decorative tube.
4. Use
The stainless steel decorative tube is used as decorative as the name suggests, and is normal for balcony protective windows, staircase handrails, bus platform armrests, bathroom drying racks, etc.;
Industrial pipes are usually used in industrial production equipment, such as boilers, heat exchangers, mechanical parts, sewage pipelines, etc. However, because its thickness and pressure resistance are much higher than the decorative tube, a large amount of pipelines for transporting fluids, such as water, gas, natural gas, oil, etc.
