304L Stainless Steel Pipe for Drinking Water Transmission

Q1: Why is 304L stainless steel pipe better than 304 for drinking water transmission? A1: 304L has lower carbon content, better intergranular corrosion resistance, especially after welding, which avoids corrosion of the welding joint and ensures long-term safe water transmission.

Q2: Can 304L stainless steel pipe be used for hot water transmission? A2: Yes, it can withstand a temperature range of -20℃ to 120℃, suitable for both cold and hot water transmission, and will not deform or release harmful substances at high temperatures.

Q3: What is the pressure-bearing capacity of 304L stainless steel water pipes? A3: The pressure-bearing capacity depends on the wall thickness and diameter; ordinary specifications can withstand 0.6-1.6MPa, meeting the requirements of daily drinking water transmission.

Q4: What installation methods are suitable for 304L stainless steel drinking water pipes? A4: Common methods include welding, compression connection, and flange connection, with compression connection being the most convenient for on-site installation and maintenance.

Q5: What is the service life of 304L stainless steel drinking water pipes? A5: Under normal use and proper maintenance, its service life can reach more than 35 years, far longer than plastic and galvanized pipes.
