Water
pipes are tubes that carry pressurized fresh water to buildings. It is
well known that steel is one of the leading materials in the modern
industry and for many years it has been the favored material for water
pipes. Such a large application of steel water pipes and tubes are
stipulated by their optimal excellent properties: high values of
strength and fracture stability in combination with the reasonably good
ductility and flexibility, tensile strength, elongation and reduction in
area.
Stainless steel water pipes sustain longtime exploitation such as
friction and corrosion as well as aging. Even after years of use, these
pipes don’t practically change characteristics such as hardness and
brittleness. Steel water tubes installed underground are subject to
corrosive forces unlike those subject to above ground items. Forces due
to soil, water and gases are kept in mind, while designing stainless
steel water pipes. For underground application, welded and seamless
types of steel pipes are used for the construction of water pipelines.
