Reasons and Application Scenarios for Selecting 304/316L Stainless Steel Pipes and Fittings in Pipeline Systems
Reasons for Selection
1. Excellent corrosion resistance: 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which can resist corrosion from common media such as atmosphere, fresh water and weak acids; 316L adds 2%-3% molybdenum on the basis of 304, further improving the tolerance to seawater, salt water, strong acids, strong alkalis and corrosive gases, and effectively avoiding system failures caused by pipeline leakage due to corrosion.
2. Superior mechanical properties: Both have high strength, good toughness and fatigue resistance, can adapt to complex working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature and vibration, maintain structural stability during long-term use, and are not easy to deform or break.
3. Hygienic, environmentally friendly and easy to clean: The surface is smooth and flat, without pores or rust, not easy to breed bacteria and dirt, meeting the hygiene standards of food, pharmaceutical and other industries; cleaning and maintenance are simple, which can reduce the later operation and maintenance costs.
4. Long service life and high cost-effectiveness: Excellent anti-aging and wear-resistant performance, service life is far longer than traditional pipes such as carbon steel; although the initial purchase cost is higher, there is no need for frequent replacement during long-term use, and the comprehensive cost is lower.
Usage scenarios of successful project cases involving MAYER stainless steel pipes and fittings
Common Application Scenarios
1. Food and beverage industry: Used for conveying pipelines of fluids such as drinking water, fruit juice, dairy products and alcohol, and connecting parts of processing equipment to ensure food hygiene and safety.
2. Pharmaceutical industry: Suitable for the transportation of purified water, water for injection, liquid medicine, etc. in the drug production process, meeting the strict requirements of GMP certification on pipeline materials.
3. Chemical industry: Used for conveying acid-base solutions, organic solvents, corrosive chemical raw materials, etc. 316L stainless steel is especially suitable for harsh corrosive working conditions.
