Heavy-duty
steel stove pipe is designed for use in the residential and commercial coal
& wood burning units, and is intended for interior use only. In many
industrial, as well as public and domestic applications, the stove pipes are
exposed to elevated temperatures. Steel stove pipe is preferred due to its
high creep strength and ductility, with high resistance to oxidation and HT
corrosion and good resistance to erosion-corrosion.
Apart from gas & some oil applications, steel stove pipe is popularly
designed to connect a wood stove to a nearby chimney, and is available in
different thicknesses. It is usually painted with a high temperature black
paint and some manufacturers produce steel stove pipe in porcelain enamel
colors to match their stoves. The welded seams of these pipes assure the
pipes roundness, making installation a very easy task. Steel stove pipe is
much lighter and is not prone to rust over time.
