First, the lack of hardness

Compared with cast iron pipe, steel pipe and other traditional pipe, stainless steel water pipe has a lower hardness, and it is not easy to process in the cold working as well as cold bending process processing molding. Therefore, for some special piping needs, such as multi-directional bending, multi-stage bending, etc., stainless steel water pipe has great limitations. At the same time, in the installation process also need to be extra careful, so as not to cause damage to it in the installation process, reducing the service life of the pipe.

Second, the higher cost

The raw material cost of stainless steel water pipe is relatively high, so the manufacturing cost is also high. At the same time, the processing of stainless steel materials also requires special machinery and equipment, the processing process is more cumbersome, which also further increases the manufacturing cost. Therefore, although the stainless steel water pipe has certain advantages in terms of safety and corrosion resistance, but the higher cost is also a problem that can not be ignored.

Third, the service life is affected by environmental factors

Stainless steel water pipe for the adaptability of environmental factors compared to the traditional pipeline is weak, especially in the acidic and alkaline environment is prone to corrosion. In addition, if the piping system is not used properly, in the long-term use of the process is also prone to leakage and other problems, further reducing the service life of the pipe.

In summary, stainless steel water pipe as an emerging construction material, has certain advantages, but at the same time there are also some disadvantages. In the actual use of the process, the need to combine the specific circumstances of the comprehensive consideration of all factors, choose the most suitable for their own piping system.
