The water pipes and faucets that are often used in our homes are almost always made of stainless steel pipes.

2. Construction Industry

Secondly, stainless steel pipe has good corrosion resistance when used in the construction industry and can avoid rust, and corrosion phenomena. And because stainless steel pipe can choose different surface processing, the products made can be a variety of colors. A variety of strengths meet the requirements of the construction industry on the strength and weight of the material, therefore, the stainless steel tube in the construction field is very common.

3. Automotive Industry

What’s more, stainless steel pipe has high enough strength and also has good plasticity, toughness, formability, and weldability. Therefore, it is the first choice to make car frames and silencers. In addition, stainless steel tubes can also be used to make some parts of automotive accessories.

4. Petrochemical Industry

Moreover, the petrochemical industry has a great demand for stainless steel tubes, and the industry mainly uses seamless stainless steel tubes. The following are the specifications of stainless steel tubes often used in this industry.

Specific application areas: furnace tubes, material transfer tubes, heat exchanger tubes, etc.

5. Petrochemical Equipment Manufacturing

And in the manufacture of petrochemical equipment, stainless steel tubes are often used as pressure fluid transmission lines. This field mainly requires stainless steel seamless pipes made of 1Cr18Ni9Ti with specifications of φ108mm to φ325mm.

6. Dyestuff Chemical Equipment Manufacturing

In the dyestuff chemical industry, 304, 316, 316L, 310S, and other stainless steel tubes are often used. Because of the good corrosion resistance of stainless steel pipe, some related supporting fasteners, and plumbing parts will also be made of stainless steel pipe.

In life, if you look closely you will find that things like tables, chairs, beds, shoe racks, and drying racks in our homes can all be made of stainless steel tubes.

10. Decoration Field
