Whether you’re working on a home plumbing project, industrial system, or food-grade setup, choosing the right SUMWIN stainless steel pipes is critical for performance, durability, and safety. This guide will walk you through the key factors to consider so you can select the most appropriate type of pipe for your needs.

โœ… 1. Understand the Application

The first and most important step is to define what the pipe will be used for:

Application Key Requirements
Drinking water systems Corrosion resistance, hygiene, food-grade
Industrial piping systems High pressure & temperature tolerance
Decorative use Aesthetic finish, polish grade
Chemical transport Resistance to specific chemicals

 

๐Ÿงฑ 2. Know the Pipe Types Offered by SUMWIN

SUMWIN provides various types of stainless steel pipes based on grade and manufacturing process:

Pipe Type Description
Welded Pipes Economical, made by rolling and welding; ideal for most general applications
Seamless Pipes Stronger, no welding joint; suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature use
Decorative Pipes Designed for aesthetics (e.g., handrails, furniture)
Sanitary Pipes Highly polished, food-grade; used in dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries

 

๐Ÿ” 3. Choose the Right Steel Grade

Different grades offer different properties. Common ones include:

Grade Ideal For Properties
304 Household & food-grade use Corrosion-resistant, easy to weld
316 Marine or chemical exposure Molybdenum is added for higher corrosion resistance
201 Low-cost decorative applications Lower nickel content, less corrosion-resistant

 

๐Ÿ“ 4. Size and Wall Thickness

Select a pipe size based on your flow requirements and system pressure.

  • Outer Diameter (OD): Must fit with fittings and system design

  • Wall Thickness (SCH 10, SCH 40, etc.): Thicker walls handle more pressure

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: For residential plumbing, 1/2″ to 2″ diameter pipes are most common.

๐Ÿงช 5. Finish & Surface Treatment

Depending on where and how the pipe is used, finish matters:

Finish Type Where Itโ€™s Used
Mirror Polish Decorative, visible applications
Matte / Brushed Industrial, concealed applications
Pickled & Passivated Sanitary or corrosion-critical areas

 

๐Ÿ›’ 6. Verify Certifications

Make sure the pipes meet international standards, like:

  • ASTM A312 / A213

  • ISO 9001

  • EN Standards (Europe)

SUMWIN stainless steel pipes are usually certified for quality and safetyโ€”check product specs or ask the supplier.

๐Ÿ“Œ Final Checklist for Choosing the Right Pipe

โœ… Whatโ€™s the application?
โœ… What pressure and temperature must it handle?
โœ… What grade of stainless steel do you need?
โœ… Do you want welded or seamless?
โœ… Any finish or hygiene requirements?
