Do stainless steel spiral steel pipes need to be painted?

Update time : 2023-01-18 09:28:19

　　Generally, the spiral steel pipe manufacturer has oxide film on the surface after pickling, and the surface is smooth after pickling. Even if the stainless spiral steel pipe is painted, it will fall off quickly.

　　Stainless steel is originally an alloy steel with good corrosion resistance. The purpose of surface coating is corrosion resistance. Therefore, painted stainless spiral steel pipe is a waste. The function of coating is to prevent corrosion. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, so do not paint. Make more paint rings or marks on the coating line.

　　1. The function of paint is to prevent corrosion. The spiral steel pipe manufacturer is corrosion-resistant, so do not paint. Painting is redundant.

　　2. 304 stainless spiral steel thick wall pipe does not meet the basic consensus, and the coating may be confused with carbon steel pipe, causing unnecessary trouble in the construction process.

　　3. Stainless spiral steel itself has strong corrosion resistance. The coating is mainly to prevent rust and corrosion. Carbon steel and other materials need to be coated.

　　Generally, stainless spiral steel pipes do not need to be painted, but they can also be painted under special conditions, such as in marine environment. In addition, many foreign companies need to coat thick wall stainless spiral steel pipes. Therefore, this is not a special requirement of the customer. Under normal circumstances, stainless spiral steel pipes do not need painting, and the coating will only increase the cost and waste energy. And the effect is not obvious.

　　Seamless steel pipe actual bearing pressure may be affected by many factors such as the quality of the pipe, processing technology, and use environment Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions Email : pipe@stpipefitting.cn
(SMLS pipe) is a type of pipe produced without welds by deforming the metal as a whole using piercing and rolling techniques. Compared to welded steel pipe, its core advantage stems from the continuity of the material and the uniformity of its structure, providing superior reliability and safety under high pressure, high temperature, and complex stress environments. This makes seamless steel pipe a fundamental and reliable material in the petroleum, chemical, natural gas, and power industries for critical processes and the transportation of hazardous media.

Seamless carbon steel pipe Sch 40

Sep .15.2026

Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe Sch 40 (Schedule 40) is a seamless steel pipe specification that meets the American standard. Its pipe wall thickness is Sch40 (corresponding to the standard wall thickness series), which represents the standard wall thickness under a specific pressure level and is often used in occasions with higher pressure and temperature.

Schedule 80 Carbon Steel Pipe: Thickness, Dimensions & Weight in mm

Sep .10.2026

Schedule 80 Carbon Steel Pipe is made up of carbon steel materials. The carbon steels can vary in composition based on the grades. The strengths and the toughness vary. To have an international and equal identification of the pressure capacities of the pipes, the schedule scale is used. The wall thickness grades of the steel pipe range from Schedule (SCH) 5 to Schedule (SCH) 160. SCH 5 has the lowest pressure resistance, while SCH 160 has the highest.

Steel Pipe Sizes Explained: NPS, OD and Wall Thickness

Steel pipe sizing can be confusing, especially for buyers who are new to piping specifications. A pipe's designated size often differs from its actual dimensions, which can lead to mistakes during purchasing or design.
