Introduction to the materials and properties of compression stainless steel pipe fittings
Press-fit stainless steel pipe fittings are manufactured using a press-fit method. They combine the unique qualities of stainless steel with the advantages of a press-fit connection, such as strong vibration resistance. Below is a brief introduction to the materials and properties of press-fit stainless steel pipe fittings.
1. Green and Healthy
Stainless steel is recognized as a healthy material suitable for implantation in the human body. It meets national standards for drinking water hygiene and is recyclable.
2. Reliable and Secure Connections
Compression-fit connections offer high strength and excellent vibration resistance. The connection is permanently fixed, eliminating the possibility of loosening of flexible joints.
3. Convenient and Quick Installation
Eliminating on-site welding, threading, or grooving, press-fit connections can be easily completed using specialized hydraulic tools, saving time, effort, and money, and achieving a high first-time installation success rate.
4. Hygienic and Environmentally Friendly
All pipes and fittings are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, and the sealing rings are made of chlorobutyl rubber or silicone rubber, offering excellent hygienic and environmental performance and a long service life. 5. Low Flow and Pressure Loss
The inner diameter of compression fittings is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe (equal diameter design), minimizing pipe deformation at the compression point, resulting in negligible flow and pressure losses at the pipe joint.
6. Strong System Compatibility
Compression stainless steel fittings offer a comprehensive range of specifications and can be used with a variety of valves, faucets, water meters, pumps, and other fittings, and can be connected to existing piping systems.
7. Exposed or Concealed Installation
Compressed stainless steel piping systems offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance and can be installed exposed for decorative purposes or concealed, meeting the embedded installation requirements of CECS 153-2003, "Technical Code for Thin-Walled Stainless Steel Piping for Building Water Supply."
8. Maintenance-Free and Economical
Designed for a 50-70 year service life and high reliability, these fittings require virtually no maintenance or refurbishment during the building's lifespan, significantly saving costs and minimizing losses. 9. Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for low-pressure fluid transportation in civilian applications such as hot and cold water, drinking water, heating, air conditioning, fire protection, and gas. It can also be used for low-pressure fluid transportation in the pharmaceutical, beverage, food, and chemical industries.
