When choosing stainless steel water pipes, people generally need to consider four issues: hygiene, convenience, economy, and reliability. 

    The importance of reliability of stainless steel water pipes 

    Consideration of the hygiene of stainless steel water pipes. Because without hygiene, there is no health, and without health, there is nothing. Next, it is necessary to consider the convenience of installation, which is to reduce the dependence on skilled workers; At the same time, we also need to consider the economy of water pipes, live within our means, and choose products with high cost-effectiveness. One important issue is the reliability of stainless steel water pipes. 

    Stainless steel water pipe installation withThe characteristics of "concealed engineering" are low investment and huge potential risks. If there is a risk, the maintenance and update loss is 10-20 times that of the previous investment. Therefore, reliability is a prerequisite for the economic efficiency of water pipes. Without reliability, there is no economic efficiency. The stability of stainless steel water pipes refers to water leakage rate, service life, and environmental adaptation issues. How to ensure the reliability of water pipes? 

    Reliability factors of stainless steel water pipes 

    1、 Reliability of material selection 

    Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant material, but it is not an ordinary and applicable corrosion-resistant material, and its corrosion resistance is highly targeted. Stainless steel water pipes have superior performance, but it does not mean that they can be used interchangeably. For example, coastal areas need to use316 stainless steel water pipes are more suitable, while 304 stainless steel pipes are recommended for inland areas. 

    The wall thickness of water pipes is also a factor to consider when selecting materials. The pipe wall is too thick, which not only increases the price but also increases the difficulty of installation, thereby affecting the reliability of the connection; The thin wall of the pipe causes cutting deformation, installation and connection deformation, insufficient welding thickness and perforation of the water pipe, which in turn creates potential leakage hazards in the pipeline system. The usage environment is also an important factor in considering the wall thickness of stainless steel water pipes. Choosing stainless steel water pipe fittings that meet national standards can ensure the reliability of water pipes. 

    2、 Reliability requirements for pipeline connection process 

    Different connection methods have different reliability levels in different usage environments. For example, in road crossing environments, it is better to use stainless steel flexible connections, which have a certain degree of flexibility and can adapt to the deformation of ground subsidence. In the environment of embedded wall laying, it is more suitable for stainless steel compression connection, without threads, there is no potential leakage risk of loose threads. 

    The connection method of stainless steel water pipes should reduce the dependence on skilled workers. The higher the dependence on skilled workers, the lower the reliability of water pipes. Because the construction quality of construction personnel is influenced by various factors such as emotions and health. So, in the construction field, if a stainless steel water pipe connection method requires professional installation, the universality of this connection method will be greatly reduced. 

    Reliability measurement of stainless steel water pipes and fittings 

    1、 The market environment poses a challenge in measuring the reliability of stainless steel water pipes. Firstly, the current market is still an environment of low credit, low standards, and low legal awareness, which is extremely detrimental to the reliability measurement of stainless steel water pipes. Secondly, stainless steel water pipes are still a new phenomenon in mainland China, and there is a lack of understanding of the reliability of stainless steel pipes and fittings, leading to incidents of cutting corners. Nevertheless, we can still measure the reliability of stainless steel water pipes and fittings based on standards and process requirements. 

    2、 Establishing national standards to measure the reliability of stainless steel water pipes and continuously improving them is an effective method to measure the reliability of stainless steel water pipes through national standards. 

    3、 Measure the reliability of stainless steel water pipes through process requirements. Stainless steel water pipes and their connection methods have their own unique designs, meeting the requirements of embedded installation, greatly improving the reliability in concealed environments, and meeting the national requirementsThe requirements of CECS153:2003 "Technical Specification for Thin-walled Stainless Steel Pipeline Engineering of Building Water Supply".
