It’s no secret that oxidation and corrosion can make a real mess of things in certain tubing applications. As a result selecting the appropriate substance for your endeavour comes down to more than a mere choice of convenience.
Certain steel tubes supply you with lengthy resistance to both processes. These are stainless steel or galvanised ones. When working with these materials it is important you know how to protect them. This is because you could compromise the protection and cause flaws.
Cutting your tubes
Two critical areas you’ll have to look at here are cutting and reaming. When you cut steel, you will need a utensil that cuts cleanly, accurately, and quickly. If the tool is dull you’ll lose your accuracy instantly. It will also make a bigger mess of cutting, ruining more of the protective coating.
Reaming
Any cut into metal shall lead to burrs. You shouldn’t allow these to remain in the tubing assembly. If you do, then they will influence the fluid’s flow inside. To overcome this, you should ream the tube’s interior. Remember that steel is a dense medium. Therefore, you have to ensure that your utensils can handle the job. If you’re not sure what to do, seek advice from an expert. They’ll be able to tell you what will work or can provide a professional service for you.
