Why are stainless steel pipes the best choice for water supply systems?

2022-11-21

With the improvement of living standards, water quality has become a common concern of people, and the requirements for water quality are also constantly improving. There are many kinds of water supply pipeline materials, so the selection of water supply pipeline materials becomes the most important. The following is an analysis by Zhejiang Bewell Co., Ltd. detailing why stainless steel pipes are the best choice for water supply systems.

Sanitary performance
Stainless steel pipe has superior health performance, eliminate red water, blue and green water, diving and other problems, no odor, no scaling, no harmful substance precipitation, keep the water pure, harmless to human body.
Copper pipes have the problem of excessive copper, corrosion causes the problem of blue green water, drinking too much copper water will do great harm to health.

The material difference
There is a protective film on the surface of the stainless steel tube, which effectively reduces the oxidation rate of the tube.
Although the copper pipe is relatively stable under normal circumstances, it has small passivation treatment capacity and poor corrosion resistance. When the water movement speed is high, the corrosion of the pipe will be greater, and the problem of pipe aging is also obvious.

The compressive strength
The compressive strength of stainless steel pipes is greater than 520MPa.
While the degree of compressive strength of copper pipes, copper pipe strength is less than 40% of stainless steel water pipes, the impact of external forces are more likely to leak.

Healthy and clean

Made of stainless steel, it is recognized as a healthy material that can be implanted into human body. Its security is natural to the water supply. Through the relevant tests, the indicators are also fully in line with the requirements of the relevant drinking water standards. Stainless steel tube wall is smooth, long-term use will not be contaminated or infected, can effectively ensure the health of the water, do not worry about water quality problems. Stainless steel pipe in pressure resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other aspects are better than plastic pipe, service life is longer than plastic pipe.

Comprehensive cost
The high price of copper raw materials leads to a higher price for copper pipes, stainless steel pipes are approximately 40% or more lower than copper pipes. The life cycle cost of stainless steel pipes is lower than that of copper pipes.
Stainless steel water pipe compared to copper, the price is more affordable, to a certain extent, once the stainless steel water pipe is adopted, basically zero maintenance costs, the service life of the same as the life of the building, but the replacement of copper pipes, the comprehensive cost of the fee is 2-4 times the stainless steel water pipe.
Domestic 2000 to date, 08 Olympic Games project, the national government projects, a class hotel, hospital, construction and a large number of high-grade residential water supply, hot water, direct drinking water, heating, industrial systems of piping, are selected thin-walled stainless steel pipe. Therefore, the thin-walled stainless steel pipe he hailed as the 21st century's emerging water supply pipe material, the name is true.
