Stainless steel bright annealed (BA) pipes have attracted much attention for their unique surface treatment and wide range of applications.
Performance characteristics
surface treatment
Stainless Steel Bright (BA) Pipe has been bright annealed and its surface presents an extremely smooth finish and mirror effect. This treatment not only improves the aesthetics of the pipe but also enhances its corrosion resistance. The surface roughness of BA tube is extremely low, usually less than 0.375 μm, which gives it a significant advantage in situations with high cleanliness requirements.
Materials and specifications
BA pipes are mainly made of stainless steel. Commonly used stainless steel grades include 304, 316, etc. These materials not only have excellent corrosion resistance, but also have good mechanical properties and processability. BA pipes come in various specifications, with outer diameters generally ranging from 3.175-42mm and wall thicknesses from 0.5-3.0mm to meet the needs of different industries.
Corrosion resistance
Stainless steel is called "stainless steel" because it can form a dense chromium oxide film on its surface, which effectively prevents the erosion of oxygen and other corrosive media. BA pipes have been specially treated to make this protective film more uniform and dense, thus further improving its corrosion resistance.
Application areas
Semiconductor Industry
In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the cleanliness of equipment and materials is extremely demanding. Due to its excellent surface finish and corrosion resistance, BA tubes are widely used in gas and liquid delivery systems in semiconductor production lines to ensure the purity of the production environment and product reliability.
Biopharmaceutical
The biopharmaceutical industry also has strict requirements for the cleanliness of equipment and materials. As an important part of biopharmaceutical equipment, BA tubes can ensure that drugs are not contaminated during the production process and ensure the quality and safety of drugs.
food and drink
The food and beverage industry has equally stringent requirements for conveying pipelines. BA pipes are not only corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, but can also effectively prevent food contamination and ensure product hygiene and safety. Therefore, BA tubes are widely used in beverage filling lines, dairy production lines and other occasions.
Laboratory and precision instruments
The laboratory and precision instrument fields have extremely high requirements for equipment accuracy and stability. Due to its excellent performance, BA tubes are often used in laboratory gas pipeline systems and connecting parts of precision instruments and equipment to ensure the accuracy of experimental data and the stable operation of instruments.
