Stainless steel is used in a variety of equipment that we usually use around us. Only if you observe closely around you. You’ll get to know about applications of stainless steel.
In this blog, you will get to know about various applications where stainless steel is used.
Benefits of stainless steel-
- High Strength
- Recyclable
- Easy to clean
- Non-corrosive
- Heat resistant
- Aesthetically appealing
There are several appliances where stainless steel is used depending on the factors mentioned above.
Applications-
- Water piping system
When it comes to potable water systems, there can be no compromises: hygiene must be guaranteed and any risk of bacterial contamination or release of harmful substances must be eliminated. The most suitable material for these requirements is AISI 316L stainless steel. The favorable choice for household water piping systems is stainless steel as carbon pipes are prone to rust and corrosion in moisture. A cost-effective choice would be Rhinox stainless steel pipes and press fittings.
- Temperature
Appliances that require heat treatment are best suited for stainless steel. Stainless steel is resistant to heat and keeps protected the appliance during the heat treatment. Stainless steel press fittings are commonly used in closed-loop heating systems that include cast iron, steel, or aluminum radiators.
- Hydronic Appliances-
Rhinox application hot/cold climate control is especially in use in the industrial and commercial industry and plumbing circuits. Even though stainless steel and carbon steel are both suitable for circulating hot water, carbon steel is less suitable for conveying chilled water since condensation on the external surface could precede localized corrosion. In light of these factors, stainless steel with the proper insulation is a much more suitable and lasting material.
- Air compressor
Stainless Steel Press Fittings are among the best options for compressed air distribution, mainly in the industrial sector. The temperature range for stainless steel is -20°C to +120°C and they support good pressure. A slightly more expensive alternative to carbon steel, but with superior characteristics, is using stainless steel pipes & fittings.
- Extinguishers
The type of extinguishing agent used affects the type of fire extinguishing system: foam, air, or water with sprinklers. However, all of these systems are built using old techniques of galvanized steel, welded or threaded joints, or groove fittings, but Rhinox Stainless Steel Press Fittings are the best alternatives available in both carbon steel and 316L stainless steel.
Rhinox applications are well equipped and crafted amongst the newest technologies.
