Tips to Protect Stainless Steel Seamless Steel Pipe in Storage and Shippment

How to improve the quality of stainless steel seamless pipes, and solve problems of water leakage, air leakage and cracking? Here we will talk about improve the quality of stainless steel seamless pipe by controlling the inspection, storage, lifting and shippment.


In order to prevent the stainless steel pipe surface layer from damage and contaminate, the protection of the stainless steel pipe should be done in each production process in these several aspects: 

1. There should be make a special storage rack, which made of wood or painted carbon steel brackets or cushions with rubber pads to isolate it from other metal materials (such as carbon steel). The storage place should be easy to lift and relatively isolated from other material storage areas. Also take protective measures to prevent liquid contamination and collision with other components, and iron metal pollution and damage.


2. When lifting stainless steel seamless pipes, should use special spreaders such as slings, chucks, etc. should be used. It shouldn't use steel wire rope to avoid scratching, impact and collision when lifting and placing. 


3. If surface scratches, arc marks or surface contamination occur during transportation, storage and processing, they must be completely removed, polished with an angle grinder, and then polished or polished with metallographic paper.
