Top 10 Applications of Stainless Steel Pipes in Manufacturing Industry

Welcome to our PS Steel Pipe Supplier Official Plateform, where we talk about pipes, fittings and industrial products in simple language. We will not just tell, but will explain each use in detail – how that work is done, why it is important and what we can do in it.

1. Food and beverage industry

The most common and biggest use of stainless steel pipes is in companies manufacturing food items. Such as – milk processing plants, juice factories, bottling units, cold drink and beer companies. In these pipes, food items are transferred from one machine to another. SS pipes applications with high polish finish are better for cleaning. These are bacteria and toxin free, so there is no possibility of adulteration in food.

What we can do:

• Installing CIP (Clean In Place) systems
• Designing food grade pipelines
• Using hygienic fittings

2. Chemical and Pharma Industry

SS pipes are a must where acids, chemicals or medicines are manufactured.

Because they do not react with harsh chemicals and have very good corrosion resistance, they are used in chemical transfer, storage and pharma linings.

What we can do:

• Using Pharma-grade SS 316L pipes
• Installing weldless pipes for chemical transfer
• Automating the entire line with SCADA systems

3. Oil and Gas Industry

Petroleum, Oil and Natural Gas sectors have very high pressure and temperature, where SS pipes play an important role. Such as crude oil transfer, gas distribution and petrochemical processes.

These pipes can easily withstand high temperatures and pressures.

What we can do:

• Covering pipes with thermal insulation
• Installing pipes underground
• Non-Destructive Testing

4. Automobile Sector

In vehicle factories, SS pipes are used in exhaust systems, fuel lines and brake tubes.

They are lightweight, strong and vibration resistant.

What we can do:

• Custom size manufacturing of pipes
• CNC machine cutting and bending
• Flexible design as per client requirement

5. Pharmaceutical Industry

Hygiene is a top priority in the pharmaceutical industry.

SS 316L grade pipes are best suited for transfer of liquids and chemicals in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

What we can do:

• Automatic flushing systems in pipes
• Installation of auto-cleaning units
• Validation systems for drug control

6. Textile and dye industry

In dyeing and washing of clothes, chemicals and dyes are transported to the machines through pipes.

SS pipes resist rusting, are durable and easy to clean.

What we can do:

• Color coding of pipes
• Labelling of lines
• Installation of flow meters and pressure gauges

7. Power plants

SS pipes are required for steam lines, cooling lines and boiler pipes in power plants.

They are heat resistant and perform well even in high temperatures.

What we can do:

• Sensors and temperature monitoring units
• Heat tracing systems
• Boiler-friendly alloy mix pipes

8. Structural supports

Pipes are used for liquid transfer as well as structural supports such as railings, frames and columns.

They look professional and strong.

What we can do:

• Provide polished finish
• Architectural design
• Pre-bends and fittings

9. Water treatment and sewage systems

SS pipes are bacteria free and smooth when used to treat dirty water or prepare drinking water.

What we can do:

• Auto-clean pipelines
• UV sanitisation systems
• Flow and pressure control

10. Heat exchangers and boiler systems

SS pipes are a must wherever there is exchange of hot and cold things.

They withstand heat, do not burst and are long lasting.

What we can do:

• Double wall design
• Heat insulation
• Automated valve connection
