Analysing the difference between Stainless steel and PVC

Image
  Deciding if stainless steel pipes are better than PVC pipes is a discussion in itself. Nowadays, ss pipe fittings are being used by people. But PVC is something that has been used forever. SS pipes are said to be more durable and strong. Let’s see the difference between the two. Stainless steel V/S PVC 1.   Strength- In comparison to semi-flexible PVC plastic, stainless steel performs better in terms of mechanical strength and rigidity. Because stainless steel is physically more resilient to stresses than PVC, it will require more power to bend and break PVC pipe than stainless steel. 2.   Temperature tolerance- PVC has lower maximum and minimum service temperature ratings for temperature-based applications than stainless steel. PVC pipe can withstand temperatures of up to 140°F before starting to soften. Stainless steel pipes' precise temperature range can vary depending on the grade and composition of the metal, although it is typically rated to resist temperatures of

Taking care of plumbing pipes

  There are many materials from which plumbing pipes and other plumbing fittings are made. Nowadays stainless steel pipes are used owing to their quality and durability. SS pipes are fit for all seasons and do not corrode or spoil the quality of water. Galvanised and Cast Iron is one the materials that were used in ancient times. Even though cast iron and galvanised plumbing are rarely found in newly built homes, if you live in an older house that was constructed in the early 20th century, you might find these pipes. Parts of water distribution systems continue to use cast iron pipes today. Various benefits of using them were- ·         Dependable and robust ·         Resistive to heat ·         Mute the sound of the water moving Both pipes have been replaced with stainless steel pipes in domestic plumbing repairs since they are prone to rust and corrosion over time. Stainless steel on the contrary does not corrode or spoil. Apart from using good material, it is also important to
