PVC versus Stainless Steel Pipe and Fitting

 

There is a perception among many people that PVC pipes and fittings are less durable, less resilient, and much less long-lasting than metal materials, particularly stainless steel pipe, which is why the majority of them believe they are less durable, less resilient, and more likely to be short lived than stainless steel pipe. It is important to note that this assumption is a generalized assumption that can prove false in many real-world situations. We will discuss here the important operation characteristics between PVC and stainless steel, and show how PVC actually outperforms stainless steel on certain levels. 

 

Comparing a plastic like PVC with a robust metal such as stainless steel may seem foolish to some, but here we will discuss the important operation characteristics between the two. It has been proven that PVC pipe and fittings can be incredibly durable, resistant and able to offer a service life that is far greater than the service life provided by stainless steel pipe fitting when used for approved applications.


Metal piping systems have been the standard method for many industrial applications for many decades. As galvanized steel, stainless steel, and other alloys are strong, durable, and capable of avecstanding the extreme temperatures and pressures of these environments, they have been made to meet the needs of all manner of industrial applications.

 

Additionally, a fundamental reason why metal pvc pipe systems are often specified is that they’re easy to understand and designed with a comprehensive understanding of the material’s capabilities. Engineers have acquired an intimate knowledge of the material’s capabilities, and when and how issues will arise.


A decision to change from a known to an unknown system, when dealing with industrial piping systems, is always made with an appropriate degree of reluctance, and for good reason. Any mistake could cost a company millions, and would do irreparable damage to an engineer’s reputation.

Listed below you will find nine major points with which we will compare PVC and stainless steel plumbing in terms of their respective properties, characteristics, use compatibility, service life and the costs associated with each.
