To paraphrase a forgotten aphorism: all pipes are good, but some are better than others.

Advantages

Stainless thin-walled pipes are strong, durable, resistant to chemicals and still have an aesthetic look. Stainless steel 10X17H13M2T except high resistance to corrosion is remarkable for other advantages. It is non-magnetic and biologically inert. Nickel gives the alloy ductility without loss of strength, and titanium further increases strength. Molybdenum increases resistance to corrosion and wear at high temperatures, as well as acid resistance. Pipe 10x17n13m2t is easily welded by any methods: manually, by automatic electric arc and gas-electric welding. Welding is carried out without heating and subsequent heat treatment, gives a reliable strong seam.

Disadvantages

The price is almost the only disadvantage. However, the remarkable consumer properties of these pipes, durability, the ability to recycle scrap for remelting and subsequent use, makes stainless steel pipes highly profitable.

Production

The most popular stainless steel grade 10Х17Н13М2Т. The foreign analogue is AISI 316Ti (corresponds to 08Х17Н13М2Т). All round steel pipes are subdivided in accordance with ratio of outside diameter to thickness of wall into thin- and thick-walled.

A ratio of 0.025 means wall thickness = 1/40 of the diameter

A ratio of 0.05 means that the wall thickness = 1/20 of the diameter.

Use

Thin-walled stainless steel pipe is designed for long-term service in highly aggressive environments: chemical and petrochemical industry, shipbuilding. The recommended working t ° up to +300 ° C. Thin-walled and extra thin-walled pipes are used when the construction should be lightweight and durable. They are popular in the manufacture of furniture fittings. In this case a perfectly smooth surface without any roughness is important. Such pipes are indispensable in pharmacology and in medicine.

As defined by GOST 28 548−90, seamless pipe is manufactured by rolling, forging, drawing or extrusion without any welds along its entire length. Even the highest quality welded seam does not exclude leaks. That is why seamless stainless pipes are most often used for transportation of toxic or aggressive liquids — leaks must be excluded here.
