- Stainless steel has a very low general corrosion Rate in water and no corrosion allowance is required.
- It can withstand very high pressure flow rate in excess of 40m/s.
- Combining corrosion resistance with high strength allows reduction in section diameter, wall thickness and weight, making it quick and easy to install.
- It is ductile and usinf the appropriate tooling is not difficult to bend and cut.
- Stainless steel pressfittings, in particular are easy to use for joints and I deal for installation in areas with limited space and access or where the use of heat would be a problem.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
- Stainless steel can be used in all types of water. Leaching of constituent allows falls well within the limits allowed for products it contact with drinking water in public supply.
- It has excellent resistance to the full range of potable waters (including the various chloride of levels) .
- Stainless steel installation is clean and if properly carried out, does not contaminate the system and reduces fire harzards.
- Stainless steel is fully recyclable.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
- The expected lifetime of a stainless steel system is mor ethan 50years, longer than is typical for other competing materials.
- Stainless steel requires no additional coating.
- No maintenance is required after installation, reducing system down time, replacement and maintenance costs over its life time.
- Although initial costs may be higher than for competing materials, such as copper and plastic, the economic benefits of using stainless steel increase over time.
- At the end of its useful life, stainless steel can be recycled and retains a higher residual value than ordinary steel.
