Commonly used stainless steel pipe diameter and application analysis

Stainless steel pipe diameter

Small diameter stainless steel pipe: refers to the outer diameter of less than 50mm stainless steel pipe, widely used in industrial production, common 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and other diameters. This pipe diameter is characterized by simple structure, easy installation, commonly used in petroleum, chemical, electric power and other fields.

Medium caliber stainless steel pipe: refers to the stainless steel pipe with an external diameter between 50mm-300mm, commonly found in diameters of 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and so on. In the caliber stainless steel pipe is suitable for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries, in the transportation of liquids and gases excel.

Large caliber stainless steel pipe: refers to stainless steel pipe with an external diameter greater than 300mm, commonly found in 400mm, 500mm, 600mm and other diameters. Large diameter stainless steel pipe is mainly used for conveying large quantities of liquids and gases, such as oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines and so on.

Stainless steel pipe application analysis

Construction field: Stainless steel pipe is widely used in the construction field, and can be used for indoor and outdoor piping systems. Medium diameter stainless steel pipe is commonly used in building water supply and drainage system, while small diameter stainless steel pipe is suitable for indoor gas piping.

Chemical field: stainless steel pipe has corrosion resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance, and has important applications in the chemical field. Large diameter stainless steel pipe is commonly used for conveying chemical raw materials and wastewater treatment pipelines.

Food industry: catering, food production and other industries have high hygiene requirements, so stainless steel is often used. Medium caliber stainless steel pipe is often used to convey food, beverage and other liquids.

Energy field: the energy industry has high requirements for pipeline pressure and high temperature resistance, so it is necessary to use high-strength stainless steel pipe. Large diameter stainless steel pipe is commonly used to transport oil, natural gas and other energy products.
