In what aspects can 304 stainless steel pipes be used?

304 stainless steel pipe is the most commonly used stainless steel pipe material in our daily life. 304 stainless steel pipe is a grade of stainless steel produced in accordance with the American ASTM standard. 304 is equivalent to 0Cr19Ni9(0Cr18Ni9) stainless steel in China. 304 contains 19% chromium and 9% nickel. 304 stainless steel pipe is the most widely used material for stainless steel pipes. 304 stainless steel pipe is known in the industry as 18/8 stainless steel pipe. It can withstand high temperatures up to 800℃ and has the characteristics of good processing performance and high toughness. Today, the editor will share with you in which fields 304 stainless steel pipe is widely applied?
I. Decoration Field
304 stainless steel pipes are applied in the decoration field. Due to their high tensile strength, good inner wall smoothness, and outstanding wear resistance, 304 stainless steel pipes are widely used in the decoration industry. Just like the stainless steel stair railings and handrails, stainless steel anti-theft Windows, stainless steel courtyard gates, and stainless steel tables and chairs commonly seen in our homes, they are all made of 304 stainless steel decorative pipes. Many 304 stainless steel pipe manufacturers have also developed a wide variety of 304 stainless steel decorative pipe patterns, models and designs for consumers to choose from. This further demonstrates the extent to which 304 stainless steel pipes are favored by people in the decoration industry.
Ii. Food Industry
When 304 stainless steel pipes are applied in the food industry, 304 stainless steel water pipes are better pipe materials for direct drinking water transportation. 304 stainless steel pipes have the feature of a very low leakage rate, which can save precious water resources. In the 1980s, the leakage rate of water pipes was around 17%. After switching to 304 stainless steel water pipes, the leakage rate dropped to 7%. The water supply system was damaged in the earthquake, but the 304 stainless steel water pipe system remained intact. In addition, compared with copper water pipes, 304 stainless steel water pipes have good water flow and do not corrode at high flow rates. Its heat preservation performance is also 24 times that of copper pipes.
Iii. Industrial Sector
304 stainless steel pipes are applied in the industrial field, mainly used for industrial conveying pipelines in petroleum, chemical, medical, food, light industry, mechanical and instrumentation industries, as well as mechanical structural components. In addition, when the bending and torsional strengths are the same, 304 stainless steel pipes are lighter in weight, so they are also widely used in the manufacture of mechanical parts and engineering structures. 304 stainless steel pipes are also frequently used as car frames and exhaust pipes, and are commonly employed in the production of various conventional weapons, gun barrels, shells, etc. 304 stainless steel industrial pipes can be classified by their uses into oil well pipes (casing, oil pipe and drill pipe, etc.), pipeline pipes, boiler pipes, mechanical structure pipes, hydraulic prop pipes, gas cylinder pipes, geological pipes, chemical pipes (high-pressure fertilizer pipes, oil cracking pipes) and ship pipes, etc.
