A New Market Flood? Stainless Steel Pipe?

Plumbing has come a long way in the last 2,000 years. Yes, Ancient Romans are famous for their aqueducts, surely one of mankind’s greatest inventions, but what we must also remember is that those same Romans were the first civilization to transport water with the use of lead, a toxin. Now, as it turns out, the Romans lucked out by having high calcium content in their drinking water, which coated their pipes and kept them safe (the same could not be said about their lead cookware, unfortunately).

Since that time, humans have gone through many different materials to convey their water. Wood was used in Britain and Early America, for example. Concrete has been used, a material that Romans would have approved of. In modern America, copper has long been the choice, but with the ever-rising cost of copper that may be finally changing.

Enter stainless steel, an American classic.

More and more, homeowners, businesses, and contractors alike are heading to steel pipe supply companies for their water conveyance needs. Surprisingly, they cite cost, among many other things, as one of their main reasons for changing. Stainless steel pipe prices may not be the same as copper, but as any contractor will tell you, many factors go into the final cost of a product.

First off, steel pipe is lighter than copper, so transporting it is cheaper. The initial savings here may be minimal, but for contractors who make repeated trips to steel pipe supply companies, this means big savings. Contractors will also be quick to note that stainless steel pipe is less likely to be stolen by worksite thieves, who have become a real nuisance to anyone installing copper in the last decade or so.

Home and business owners will also be happy to know that stainless steel pipe prices also lessen over the long term, for many reasons. Stainless steel pipes require no coating, yet it resists both internal and external corrosion, meaning that it will last longer and require fewer repairs and replacements.

Stainless steel’s sturdiness also means that it can be laid over longer stretches than copper, a benefit of particular interest to owners of larger buildings. Longer pipes mean fewer connections, and fewer connections mean less leaking and less overall maintenance.

Stainless steel also has a lower coefficient of friction, meaning it yields higher water pressure at the point of use and is safer for drinking, with any leaching chemicals well below recommended limits.

And if these cost-reducing and health factors aren’t enough, business and home owners will be happy to know that stainless steel is completely recyclable material. After its use, or if a piece needs to be replaced, the old pipe may be sold to recoup some of its original cost.

Whether stainless steel pipes will begin flooding the market in the years to come is yet to be seen. However, one thing is certain: for copper, the pressure is on.

Steps To Drill Stainless Steel Sheets

Stainless steel have a tendency to “work-harden”, due to which drilling such metallic sheets gets very difficult. This normally happens while either cutting or drilling or bending the metal, the heat that is generated hardens it. Usually heat generated while drilling causes the steel sheets to harden faster than any other type of metal work.

There are ways to drill stainless steel sheets, especially those which have been work-hardened. With the help of controlled buildup of heat and using proper drill bit that is designed to be used on harder metals, the drilling work can get quite easy. Here are the steps to drill hardened metal sheets:

  1. First of all, choose a cobalt drill bit that matches the required hole size in the chuck of a drill motor.
  2. Next would be to coat the surface of stainless steel sheets and the tip or the end of the drill machine with cutting fluid. This fluid is a kind of lubricant that is primarily used for machine processes and metal work.
  3. The most important step is how to run the drill motor effectively. Set the end of the drill bit on the surface of the metallic sheet and push it firmly. Then push the trigger of the machine to slowly turn the drill bit. However, ensure that there is no smoke coming out from the drilling area. In case you see smoke then apply further cutting fluid to the area. After the process is over, lighten the pressure from the machine and slowly remove the drill bit from the surface of the steel sheets.
  4. Then apply the same cutting fluid to the tip of countersink drill bit which needs to be attached to the drill motor. Put the tip into the drilled hole and quickly tap the trigger of the drill machine to clear the bur around the edge of the hole.
  5. Finally, wipe off the cutting fluid from the surface of the sheet.

Stainless steel sheets are used extensively in a number of industries.
