Advantages of Stainless Steel Tube Tubing
From transportation and food processing equipment to architecture, to healthcare devices - stainless steel tubes can be found everywhere from transportation to architecture to healthcare devices. From transportation to architecture to healthcare devices - stainless steel tubes play an essential role behind the scenes where strength, durability, hygiene maintenance, or biocompatibility are of vital importance.
A stainless steel tube's ability to withstand corrosion makes it an indispensable material in applications where cleanliness, precision, and sterility are imperative. This resistance is achieved largely thanks to its alloying elements; specifically chromium. Low alloy grades of stainless can resist corrosion in atmospheric and pure water environments while higher-alloyed grades offer resistance against acids, alkaline solutions, and chlorine-bearing environments.
Not only is stainless steel designed to withstand harsh environments, it has an appealing aesthetic that many designers appreciate. Compared to tubing made of other metals, stainless steel tubing does not succumb to corrosion, abrasion damage, or gathering debris--providing an extended lifespan than its alternatives.
With so many advantages to offer, stainless steel tubing has quickly become one of the go-to choices among industrial metal suppliers and fabricators. Welded and seamless stainless steel tubing comes in various sizes, outer diameter (OD), wall thicknesses, and shapes allowing for customization and fabrication - perfect for projects requiring durability, versatility, and longevity.
No matter its use in cleanrooms, food production, or medical devices - stainless steel tubing offers an easy-to-sanitize surface that's both durable and reliable - making it the perfect material to protect from contamination risk in hospitals where corrosion rates are at their highest.
Welded and seamless stainless tubing can be produced through either drawing or cold forming processes, each offering different properties to make them suitable for different applications; their respective forming methods also influence strength, corrosion resistance, and manufacturing speed.
When selecting the appropriate type of stainless steel tubing for any application, it's essential to take several factors into account such as size, material grade, OD diameter, and finish requirements. Eagle Stainless stocks both welded and seamless stainless tubing products primarily austenitic grades like 304 and 316 for this.
Dependent upon your project requirements, threading can be necessary for fastening purposes or to allow screws to pass through tubing. Stainless steel tubing can either be threaded using a special machine, or it can be cut to size and finished manually with threaded ends. Customers typically opt for this latter method due to its convenience and cost savings. If your project requires threaded ends, we have both standard and metric threaded ends available for your selection.
