Nowadays, stainless steel pipe fittings have been widely used in various engineering projects, such as construction, bridges, roads, tunnels, dams, papermaking, shipbuilding, medicine, beer, petrochemical industry, etc.
Stainless steel pipe fittings play important roles in engineering, such as supporting structures, transporting fluids, etc. However, some low-quality stainless steel pipe fittings have brought great safety risks to the project.
This article will analyze the hazards of stainless steel pipe fittings sold on the market, reveal product quality issues, and discuss how to avoid these hazards to ensure the safety and stability of the project.
The harm of market goods
1. Thickness and height are not up to standard
The thickness and height of pipe fittings are key factors to ensure their load-bearing capacity and service life, and support the stability and safety of the entire structure.
2. No heat treatment
Heat treatment is an important process to improve the performance of steel, especially for stainless steel pipe fittings. It can effectively improve the performance of steel and enhance its corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
Furthermore, after a series of surface treatments such as pickling and sand rolling, the appearance of the pipe fittings can also be very beautiful. It is actually invisible to the naked eye whether it has been heat treated. You need to check the hardness, check the process documents, heat treatment reports, etc. to confirm, so It is necessary to find regular manufacturers to purchase stainless steel pipe fittings to ensure quality reliability and safety.
3. Produced from scrap steel pipes
Some steel pipes are disassembled from chemical plants and old ships. Their corrosion resistance and mechanical properties are greatly reduced, which may cause engineering accidents at any time.
