Benefits to Using Stainless Steel Pipe & Other Fittings

  1. Strength: Stainless steel can withstand extreme heat, and can be combined with other materials to enhance its other properties, including it's corrosive-resistant nature.

  2. Resistant to Corrosion: Most metal piping is susceptible to rust, corrosion, and other issues often caused by exposure to UV light, moisture, and soil. Stainless steel piping is resistant to these problems, therefore doesn't need to be replaced as frequently as other piping materials.

  3. Durable: Through freezing temperatures, renovations, and other situations that could cause pipes to bend, crack and leak, stainless steel can withstand with minimal damage.

  4. Versatile: Because of the durable and strong nature of stainless steel, stainless steel pipes can be used in a wide range of ways and places, since it can withstand severe temperatures, including high heat and freezing cold, without risk of cracking or sustaining other damages.

  5. Improves Safety: With the durability of stainless steel pipe, the infrequency of cracks and leaks means that the building is more secure against potential water damage and pipe bursts.

  6. Aesthetic Appearance: For any pipes that need to be exposed, stainless steel is one of the few aesthetically pleasing materials to choose, as they are easy to clean and maintain the glistening silver appearance when maintained properly. They also don't require special coatings or linings, since stainless steel isn't petroleum based and is therefore more environmentally friendly!

  7. Value: Though the initial cost is higher than other pipes, stainless steel pipe is worth the investment, as you won't need to replace pipes as frequently, or hire repair services as often.

What Are Valve Actuators?

By lemaster • 09 Sep, 2020
A valve actuator is a device that uses a power source to open and close a valve. Whether the power source is electric, compressed air, or hydraulic, the function of the valve actuator remains the same. The actuator works in conjunction with the valve body and valve pilot to function. Valve actuators are commonly found in oilfields, manufacturing plants, and other types of industrial settings.
