Can stainless steel welded pipes be made into thick pipes
With the improvement of high-quality welding technology and increasingly strict weld inspection, the application fields of stainless steel welded pipes have become increasingly widespread. Through communication with customers, we found that many people were not very familiar with stainless steel welded pipes. Today, we would like to help everyone clear up the misunderstanding about "Stainless steel welded pipes can only be used for thin-walled pipe fittings".
Many people have misunderstandings about the wall thickness of stainless steel welded pipes. In the past, we emphasized that stainless steel welded pipes were easier to measure in length, allowing for the production of pipes of any size. Moreover, under the same pressure resistance level, the welded pipes could be made thinner than seamless pipes, significantly reducing costs.
Therefore, many people think that stainless steel welded pipes can only be made into thin-walled stainless steel pipes. In fact, many industrial sectors have already started to use thick-walled stainless steel welded pipes. How thick exactly? This needs to be determined based on the pipe diameter. Stainless steel fluid pipes with a thickness of 3.0mm to 10mm can be found everywhere, especially in chemical plants, oil pipes, boiler pipes, and so on.
