Material Composition | Boiler pipes, chemical processing | Industry Standard: Carbon Steel (ASTM A106 Grade B) Our Base: Non-alloy steel (ASTM A106 Grade B) Our Advanced: Non-alloy steel with enhanced corrosion resistance (ASTM A335 P11) | ▲ Base meets basic requirements; Advanced resists harsh chemicals (e.g., sulfuric acid) Industry Standard: Widely adopted but limited durability | Advanced variants may incur 15-20% higher costs due to specialized alloying |
Wall Thickness | Structural support, drill pipes | Industry Standard: 3-6mm (EN 10217) Our Base: 4mm (EN 10217) Our Advanced: 6mm (EN 10217 + custom thickening) | ▲ Advanced offers 50% thicker walls for heavy-duty applications (e.g., offshore drilling) Industry Standard: Balances weight and strength | Thicker walls increase material costs and weight by ~30% |
Surface Finish | Precision machinery, medical equipment | Industry Standard: Hot-rolled (Ra ~2.5μm) Our Base: Cold-rolled (Ra ≤1.6μm) Our Advanced: Cold-rolled + passivation (Ra ≤0.8μm) | ▲ Advanced finish reduces friction (smoother than brushed stainless steel) Industry Standard: Lower cost but higher surface roughness | Advanced requires additional polishing, adding 10-15% to production time |
Tolerance | High-precision boilers, aerospace parts | Industry Standard: ±5% (general standard) Our Base: ±5% (meets ISO 3094) Our Advanced: ±1% (exceeds ISO 3094) | ▲ Advanced ensures critical fits (e.g., turbine components) Industry Standard: Sufficient for non-critical applications | Tighter tolerances increase scrap rates during manufacturing |
Certifications | EU exports, regulated industries | Industry Standard: CE (basic compliance) Our Base: CE, RoHS Our Advanced: CE, RoHS, ISO 14001 (environmental) Industry Standard: CE-only products may face export barriers | ▲ Advanced meets stricter environmental and safety standards (e.g., medical-grade compliance) | Additional certifications add 5-8% to final pricing |
Application Suitability | High-pressure chemical, medical gas lines | Industry Standard: General industrial use Our Base: Gas/chemical/oil pipes Our Advanced: High-pressure chemical, medical gas lines | ▲ Advanced handles extreme conditions (e.g., 300°C+ boiler systems) Industry Standard: Limited to standard pressure ranges | Advanced variants require specialized installation expertise |
