The specifics of any food production involves the contact of the product with the equipment. This, in turn, puts forward special requirements for materials from which technological lines and equipment are made. So stainless steel pipe from steel 08x18n10 is considered one of the lully for the manufacture of trunk mical pipelines for pumping liquid fractions of food purposes. This brand is a complete analogue of the AISI-304 stainless steel according to the American standard.
properties of stainless pipe from steel 08x18n10
This brand belongs to the class of low -carbon stainless steels, the peculiarity of which is a low carbon content (up to 0.8%) and the working range of temperatures used from -196 ° C to +600 ° C and more. Such stainless pipes can be successfully used in food production products of the technological processes of which provide high heating or cooling. One option is the manufacture of an extruded product. During this operation, the substance is usually heated at high pressure, and then sharp cooling.
also to the properties that make stainless steel pipes indispensable in the manufacture of food production lines, these are:
- The complete absence of the formation of oxides of various origin on the external and on the inner surface;
- The alloy has high shock viscosity, which allows it to be used to manufacture equipment by external mechanical exposure;
- is easily welded in various ways, including inverter ones, without preliminary heating of the connected surfaces.
Similar brands of stainless steels
Pipe products made of steel 08x18N10 in the manufacture of production lines and equipment for the food industry can be successfully replaced with similar products from stels: 08x18N10T, 10x17N13M2, 10x17N13M2T, etc. Different alloying additives can react with individual production products, if stainless steel pipes are replaced, consultations with chemists and technologists are needed.
