316 thin-walled stainless steel water pipe is a high-quality water supply pipe for direct drinking water sources. Its inner cavity is smooth to avoid bacterial growth, and at the same time, it can reasonably maintain water resources during the whole process of transportation. In the 1980s, the water leakage rate of underground water pipes was about 17%. After changing to 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipes, the water seepage rate dropped to 7%. The direct drinking water system was destroyed in the earthquake disaster, but the stainless steel water pipe system was intact. In addition, compared to PVC, 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipe has good water solubility and will not be eroded under high water flow conditions.
In many areas abroad, the vast majority of community owners use 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipes, but PVC water pipes are not used much, which is related to the advantages of 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipes. For example, between Germany and Japan, their PVC plastic water pipe technology is very developed, there are strict regulations on the quality of goods, and the plastic water pipes produced should be very safe, but they still choose stainless steel thin-walled water supply pipes. What happened? According to some characteristics of the two, we can understand that the most critical reason is the problem of water. Although both are more hygienic, we have to choose more physical and mental health or 316 thin wall stainless steel pipe. This is because people know that 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipe is made of stainless steel, so its reliability is stronger than PVC. Especially in the high temperature natural environment, the 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipe is not easy to seep out. Therefore, the temperature resistance is not good. In addition, the stainless steel thin-walled water supply pipe is not easy to be brittle, especially on the living balcony of the community owner’s home. PVC plastic water pipes are easy to be embrittled, and thin-walled stainless steel pipes have strong excellent characteristics and are not easy to be embrittled for many years. That is, under some extreme standards, 316 thin-walled stainless steel pipes have strong corrosion resistance, and PVC plastic water pipes are out of reach.
