Carbon steel pipe vs stainless steel pipe: Choosing the right material is very important

All those who are engaged in engineering procurement know that Carbon Steel Pipes and Stainless Steel Pipes are the two most commonly used metal pipes. Although they both look like iron pipes, their performance and price are quite different. Choosing the right one can save a lot of money.

What is the difference between these two pipes?

Carbon steel pipe is like "economical and practical", with affordable price and high strength. It is basically used for scaffolding on construction sites. Stainless steel pipe is "high-end player", which is more expensive, but has first-class anti-rust ability. It is indispensable for corrosive media in chemical plants.

The actual purchase depends on three key points:

1. Whether the use environment is humid or not

2. How much pressure it needs to withstand

3. What is the budget

Carbon steel pipe is more than enough for ordinary tap water, but if it is used to transport seawater or acidic liquids, it is more cost-effective to spend more money to buy stainless steel pipe. Now there are also composite pipes lined with stainless steel, which are both cost-effective and rust-proof, which is a good compromise. Remember, if you choose the right pipe, you will need less maintenance later!
