Stainless Steel Corrugated Tubes

Image
  Stainless Steel Corrugated Tubes corrugated stainless steel tubing used for gas piping in buildings. Since 1990 CSST has been used within many buildings in both exposed and enclosed areas to install new gas system piping. The article discusses CSST uses, sources, installation specifications, and safety measures to protect the gas piping from damage by abrasion, puncture, lightning strikes or other hazards. Gas piping codes and industry sources of CSST are included. Our page top photo, provided courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates, a Toronto home inspection & education firm, illustrates an improper installation of standard yellow CSST gas piping - routed in ground contact in a wet area. Yellow "Standard" CSST gas piping galso requires special electrical ground bonding to reduce risk of damage & leaks in areas of high lightning strike activity. Philips Metal is one of the renowned manufacturer, exporter, stockist, stock holder and supplier of a qualitative range of ...

Properties And Uses Of Carbon Steel

Image
  Properties And Uses Of Carbon Steel Carbon steel is steel with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states: Steel is considered to be carbon steel when: no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent; or the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60. The term “carbon steel” may also be used in reference to steel which is not stainless steel; in this use carbon steel may include alloy steels. Carbon Steel Steel is one of the most commonly found and important metals for mankind. When you look around you, you will see that almost everything in your house has some element of steel in i...

What is Alloy Steel Properties And Uses Of Alloy Steel

Image
  What is Alloy Steel Properties And Uses Of Alloy Steel Alloy steel is a class of steel that, in addition to carbon, is alloyed with other elements, ranging from 1 wt.% to 50 wt.%, which are used to enhance the material’s various properties Alloy steel is a steel which has had small amounts of one or more elements (other than carbon) such as such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum in addition. This creates an alloy which has specific properties that are not found in carbon steel. Alloy steels are workhorses of many industries because of their low cost, extensive availability, ease of processing, and mechanical properties. So what are these properties? These elements commonly include manganese, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, silicon, and boron. Less common elements include aluminum, cobalt, copper, cerium, niobium, titanium, tungsten, tin, zinc, lead, and zirconium. ASTM A335 P1 Alloy Steel Pipe  |  ASTM A335 P2 Alloy Ste...

What Are the Uses for Titanium Tubing?

Image
  What Are the Uses for Titanium Tubing? Titanium tubing is reputed for its unique strength, density, and brilliant corrosion-resisting properties. Titanium tubes have applications in an endless number of industries. For applications that demand incredible strength and durability, titanium tubes are the best option. Titanium has density lower than numerous other alloys and tubing materials making it highly appropriate for applications that demand for incredible strength with light weight.  Titanium tubes are known for the stupendous corrosion-resisting quality of titanium metal. These titanium tubes can withstand extreme temperature, weather, and severe conditions with ease. Titanium tubes and pipes are highly efficient and stand out among all the tubing materials. Along with corrosion resistivity, Titanium Gr.2 Tubes offer great strength-to-weight ratio. Through the years titanium tubes have evolved and continue to evolve in terms of strength, durability, and reliabil...

What is Duplex Steel & Uses of Duplex Stainless Steels

Image
  What is Duplex Steel & Uses of Duplex Stainless Steels Duplex stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that is composed of grains of two types of stainless steel material, austenitic and ferritic. The word "duplex" refers to the two-phase microstructure of ferritic and austenitic steel grains. The ferritic and austenitic stainless steel grades have approximately equal proportions (i.e., 50% each) in duplex stainless steel . Duplex stainless steel offers high mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance properties. Philips Metal Explains Duplex Stainless Steel Duplex stainless steel is considered an alternative to the expensive nickel alloys and high alloy austenitic stainless steel materials used in the most demanding applications. Some benefits of duplex stainless steel include: - Two times stronger than ferritic or austenitic stainless steel grades - Higher toughness and ductility - Shows very good resistance from stress corrosion cracking - Ch...
