Stainless Pipe

Commercially, stainless steel pipes are manufactured in two ways: welded pipes and drawn pipes. Welded stainless steel pipes are produced in two different forms: HF welded and TIG welded pipes. Welded pipes are primarily used for decorative purposes, while drawn pipes are utilized in high-pressure processes.

Welded and Seamless Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless steel drawn pipes are divided into two categories: seamless and welded, and they are produced accordingly. Thanks to their durability, the quality of the stainless structure, and the fact that they are produced in 304 grade, they are currently available as a product with a wide variety of sub-products.

Types of Stainless Steel Pipes According to Manufacturing Methods

Stainless steel pipes vary according to their production types. Seamless stainless steel pipes are generally preferred in high-pressure environments. These pipes provide greater resistance to pressure compared to other production types. This is because this type of pipe is produced in one piece. This method ensures a robust structure against high pressures. In comparison to seamless stainless steel pipes, welded pipes are less resistant to pressure. This is due to the use of a seam or weld in their production. They take the pipe shape after some processes rather than being produced directly in pipe format. They are generally used in low-pressure lines and for architectural purposes. One reason for this is that they are more affordable compared to other types of stainless steel pipes.

How is Stainless Steel Pipe Produced?

Stainless steel pipes, one of the products made from stainless steel, which is an advanced form of iron, have various characteristics. The main reason for their different features is the method of production. Stainless steel pipes can be produced as a single piece or as a result of various processes. There are two different products in terms of production methods. These are:

• Seamless (Drawn) Stainless Steel Pipe

  Produced in a single piece. These products, also known as drawn pipes, are extremely sturdy. They are among the most durable pipes and are frequently preferred. Various types of steel are used in these pipes to meet different needs, providing robustness along with multiple expectations.

• Welded (Welded) Stainless Steel Pipe

  These types of products are less durable compared to seamless stainless steel pipes. The reason is that they are welded. Initially, they are produced in the form of flat sheets and then given a pipe shape. Welds are used to create the pipe shape.

The seamless and welded stainless steel pipes mentioned above are preferred in different areas. Depending on the welding characteristics used in the production phase of the welded pipes, they can vary in quality and strength. If the welding used is of the TIG type, the durability of the stainless pipes increases. The main reason for this is that TIG is a robust structure. However, TIG welding is a lengthy process because it can be affected by gases such as nitrogen in the atmosphere, which can damage the weld. Therefore, it is necessary to first remove the gases present in the environment through different methods. After that, the necessary steps are applied. Stainless pipes produced with this system are considered to have medium durability levels. Generally, they are used in low-pressure environments. They are not suitable for high-pressure areas due to not being sufficiently durable.

Types of Stainless Steel Pipes According to the Type of Welding Done

Welded pipes among our products are those created by combining materials through welding. The types of welding used for stainless pipes include TIG welding, HF welding, and laser welding. When performing TIG welding, the area should be kept away from air. Prior to welding, the area where the welding will be done is filled with argon gas to displace the gases present in the atmosphere. This removes the obstacles to making a proper weld. This type of welding is more durable than HF welding.

In addition to its durability, the processing time for TIG welding is longer. HF welding is completed more quickly than TIG welding. Pipes with HF welding are generally not sufficiently durable for high pressure and are mostly preferred for architectural purposes. Another type of welded stainless pipe is those produced with laser welding. Laser welding requires a precise job. It is a fast process, similar to HF welding, but it is not as durable as TIG welding. It requires careful work. Stainless pipes are classified according to their manufacturing method and the appearance of the welds made. Each has different usage areas. Some are produced to be pressure-resistant, while others are used for architectural purposes. The prices also vary accordingly.

Types of Welded Stainless Steel Pipes

Welded stainless steel pipes are produced by welding cut steel pieces using the cold forming method. Known in some areas as welded pipes, these pipes have numerous applications. Therefore, they are produced according to different standards.

• Hygienic Welded Pipes: These are preferred in areas where hygiene is important, such as kitchens, food, and healthcare. They are also used for architectural purposes.

• Industrial Welded Pipes: These are often preferred in areas that require a durable structure, even if they are not visible. They are resistant to high pressure and various effects.

Applications of Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless steel pipes are produced from the alloy of steel, exhibiting high resistance and durability. The most significant feature of these products is their excellent resistance to rust. Even used underwater, these pipes can last for many years due to this. Such pipes are used in thousands of areas worldwide, as well as in our country. Some of the areas where stainless steel pipes are most commonly used include:

• Pharmaceutical Industry
• Kitchen and Furniture Decoration
• Petrochemical Industry
• Spacecraft and Trailer Manufacturing
• Urban Transformation Related Drainage Works
• Food Industry
• Aircraft and Ship Construction

Production of Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless steel pipes have a wide range of applications. The primary reason for this is their durability and usability. Many factors must be considered during the production of stainless steel pipes. Stainless steel pipes are extremely resistant to corrosion. Corrosion and rust caused by factors such as water and humidity not only shorten the lifespan of the pipes but also pose a risk of contamination for the liquids flowing through them. For this reason, stainless steel must be used in production. Thanks to this structure, especially the construction materials used in industrial areas have a very long lifespan.

With properly manufactured stainless steel pipe production, you can use these products for many years. This provides significant long-term benefits to your budget. The rapid deterioration and need for reinstallation of these pipe lines can lead to very high costs. Therefore, using stainless steel pipes that will last for many years in a single purchase provides you with serious advantages.

One of the points to consider in stainless steel pipe production is that these products are designed for use in industrial areas. In production facilities, these pipes enable the transportation of materials such as liquids and gases. Additionally, measures are taken during manufacturing to make it difficult for bacteria to adhere. This ensures that the materials transported are much more hygienic.

A variety of different types can be produced in stainless steel pipe manufacturing. The 304 and 316 steel grades are commonly produced. Each steel grade exhibits different properties.
