Corrosion Resistance
One of the standout features of 1 1/4 stainless steel tubing is its excellent corrosion resistance. This is due to the high chromium content in the stainless steel which forms a passive film that protects against oxidation in a wide range of environments. This feature is particularly valuable in industries such as marine engineering, chemical processing, and food manufacturing, where exposure to corrosive agents is common. The result is a tubing that maintains its structural integrity over longer periods, reducing the frequency of replacements and associated downtime.
