Causes of Cracks in Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings And Prevention Methods

Main Factors

1. Raw material quality

Low-quality tube blanks can result in defects like warping, scarring, and cracking.

2. Temperature

Improper heating conditions during production can lead to issues such as inner warping.

3. Equipment

Equipment components, from the oven to the perforator, can impact pipe quality.

4. Process

Complex process issues include adjustment problems, equipment failures, and quality problems due to component wear and tear.

Prevention Methods

1. Optimize raw material selection to meet quality requirements for tube billets.

2. Control heating temperature and process to ensure uniform heating.

3. Regularly check and maintain equipment to prevent defects.

4. Strictly adhere to the process to avoid errors in adjustment and operation.

Rational Storage Practices

1. Stack different varieties of steel pipes separately to prevent confusion.

2. Avoid stacking with corrosive substances like acid, alkali, salt, and cement.

3.Choose appropriate warehouse conditions, preferably closed warehouses with good ventilation, to prevent long-term exposure to wind and sun, which can lead to rust and peeling issues.
