Sandblasting Stainless Steel Pipe

Totten tubes provides premium custom steel sandblasting services for your steel tube pipe project requirement needs.

Sandblasting stainless steel pipe.

Sand blasting is the use of compressed air stream sprayed on quartz sand stainless steel pipe surface clean up or modification of the surface processing. When a sufficiently hard abrasive particle strikes steel it deforms the surface into a valley and pushes up peaks. Blast wheels range from 13 to 27 in. Thus grit blasting should be avoided.

The resulting surface finish and hence surface corrosion resistance of the treated stainless steel is partly dependant on the blasting medium. Blast materials that are free of iron oxide include walnut shell glass bead crushed glass and aluminum oxide. Pipe outer wall shot blasting machine also known as the diabolo shot blasting machine. We are focus on manufacturing and supplying inner steel pipe surface shot blasting machine for years.

Grit blasting leaves a rough profile that makes the stainless steel prone to crevice corrosion whether or not the surface is free of iron. The distance between the top of the peak and the bottom of the valley is known as the depth profile.

Very hard media such as aluminium oxide can leave a jagged or torn faces to metal peaks on the surface whereas the softer media such as silicon carbide give a smoother finish.

Such form of the conveyor provides simultaneous rotation and transition movement of the pipes through the machine which can achieve evenly blasted surface. Sand blasting can be divided into dry sand blasting and wet sand two kinds. In the u s the depth profile is measured by mils thousandths of an inch in the metric system the micron one millionth of a meter is used. All abrasive will leave a small amount of material on the surface after blasting.

Pipe outer wall shot blasting machine. Diameter achieving blast media velocity from 260 to 360 feet per second fps. Typical blast media for tube and pipe are round steel shot steel grit aluminum oxide glass bead ceramic silicon carbide garnet and sands. The reason to choose us 1 blast wheel 100 made by ours.

Sand blasting this method is generally unsatisfactory. However for a severely contaminated surface sandblasting can be used as a last resort.
