If you examine the Content Center Editor, there are some pipe families that are stainless steel, like the ASTM A 312/A 312 M Pipe. You could create a new style in the Tube and Pipe environment and switch the pipe to a family that has the stainless steel material. That migh be the fastest way to accomplish the goal.

If you are more familiar with editing the Content Center, you could create a custom library and then copy an existing content center family and edit it however you wish. Also, once a custom library is present you could publish your own pipe style to the content center. Just be sure to make the pipe an iPart otherwise it doesn't seem to publish. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Hope this helps and have a most blessed night!

I was also looking for stainless steel sanitary tube. Sanitary tube is a different size than regular piping, whereas a 3" tube has an actual O.D. of 3". I created a library with these sizes already but the fittings are also much different, the ones we in food/beverage plants are tri-clamp connections. Has anyone ever created a library with this type of piping?

@tomas.alvarezT2UJF many of us have done this for dairy or BPE piping. As far as tube and pipe goes the base content centre install should only be considered a reservoir of parts to copy from. I have never used them out of the box.

Because of the extensive inventories of seamless commercial stainless steel tube, you are sure to find intermediate sizes of both diameter and wall combinations. It has always been our goal to multi-certify our inventories to the maximum number of industry standard specifications possible.

REED tubing cutters are equipped with special wheels for stainless steel. REED wheels for stainless tubing use specialized steel for toughness and heat dissipation, resulting in long wheel life. T10SS, T15SS and T20SS tubing cutters offer a large knob for firm grip and easy turning, along with an internal reamer in the knob. TC11SS telescoping tubing cutter includes a fold-out reamer and spare wheel for stainless tubing.

The alloy's properties, such as luster and resistance to corrosion, are useful in many applications. Stainless steel can be rolled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing. These can be used in cookware, cutlery, surgical instruments, major appliances, vehicles, construction material in large buildings, industrial equipment (e.g., in paper mills, chemical plants, water treatment), and storage tanks and tankers for chemicals and food products.

The biological cleanability of stainless steel is superior to both aluminium and copper, and comparable to glass.[2] Its cleanability, strength, and corrosion resistance have prompted the use of stainless steel in pharmaceutical and food processing plants.[3]

Different types of stainless steel are labeled with an AISI three-digit number.[4] The ISO 15510 standard lists the chemical compositions of stainless steels of the specifications in existing ISO, ASTM, EN, JIS, and GB standards in a useful interchange table.[5]

The addition of nitrogen also improves resistance to pitting corrosion and increases mechanical strength.[6] Thus, there are numerous grades of stainless steel with varying chromium and molybdenum contents to suit the environment the alloy must endure.[7] Corrosion resistance can be increased further by the following means:

The strongest commonly available stainless steels are precipitation hardening alloys such as 17-4 PH and Custom 465. These can be heat treated to have tensile yield strengths up to 1,730 MPa (251,000 psi).[8]

Stainless steel is a steel, and as such its melting point is near that of ordinary steel, and much higher than the melting points of aluminium or copper.As with most alloys, the melting point of stainless steel is expressed in the form of a range of temperatures, and not a single temperature.[9] This temperature range goes from 1,400 to 1,530 C (2,550 to 2,790 F; 1,670 to 1,800 K; 3,010 to 3,250 R)[10] depending on the specific consistency of the alloy in question.

Like steel, stainless steels are relatively poor conductors of electricity, with significantly lower electrical conductivities than copper. In particular, the non-electrical contact resistance (ECR) of stainless steel arises as a result of the dense protective oxide layer and limits its functionality in applications as electrical connectors.[11] Copper alloys and nickel-coated connectors tend to exhibit lower ECR values and are preferred materials for such applications. Nevertheless, stainless steel connectors are employed in situations where ECR poses a lower design criteria and corrosion resistance is required, for example in high temperatures and oxidizing environments.[12]

Martensitic, duplex and ferritic stainless steels are magnetic, while austenitic stainless steel is usually non-magnetic.[13] Ferritic steel owes its magnetism to its body-centered cubic crystal structure, in which iron atoms are arranged in cubes (with one iron atom at each corner) and an additional iron atom in the center. This central iron atom is responsible for ferritic steel's magnetic properties. This arrangement also limits the amount of carbon the steel can absorb to around 0.025%.[14] Grades with low coercive field have been developed for electro-valves used in household appliances and for injection systems in internal combustion engines. Some applications require non-magnetic materials, such as magnetic resonance imaging.[citation needed] Austenitic stainless steels, which are usually non-magnetic, can be made slightly magnetic through work hardening. Sometimes, if austenitic steel is bent or cut, magnetism occurs along the edge of the stainless steel because the crystal structure rearranges itself.[15]

Galling, sometimes called cold welding, is a form of severe adhesive wear, which can occur when two metal surfaces are in relative motion to each other and under heavy pressure. Austenitic stainless steel fasteners are particularly susceptible to thread galling, though other alloys that self-generate a protective oxide surface film, such as aluminum and titanium, are also susceptible. Under high contact-force sliding, this oxide can be deformed, broken, and removed from parts of the component, exposing the bare reactive metal. When the two surfaces are of the same material, these exposed surfaces can easily fuse. Separation of the two surfaces can result in surface tearing and even complete seizure of metal components or fasteners.[17][18] Galling can be mitigated by the use of dissimilar materials (bronze against stainless steel) or using different stainless steels (martensitic against austenitic). Additionally, threaded joints may be lubricated to provide a film between the two parts and prevent galling. Nitronic 60, made by selective alloying with manganese, silicon, and nitrogen, has demonstrated a reduced tendency to gall.[18]

The invention of stainless steel followed a series of scientific developments, starting in 1798 when chromium was first shown to the French Academy by Louis Vauquelin. In the early 1800s, British scientists James Stoddart, Michael Faraday, and Robert Mallet observed the resistance of chromium-iron alloys ("chromium steels") to oxidizing agents. Robert Bunsen discovered chromium's resistance to strong acids. The corrosion resistance of iron-chromium alloys may have been first recognized in 1821 by Pierre Berthier, who noted their resistance against attack by some acids and suggested their use in cutlery.[20]

In the 1840s, both Britain's Sheffield steelmakers and then Krupp of Germany were producing chromium steel with the latter employing it for cannons in the 1850s.[21] In 1861, Robert Forester Mushet took out a patent on chromium steel in Britain.[22]
