Orbimatic, Germany, is assisting ADMS Engineering in the use of stainless steel tubing for heating, cooling and ventilation systems. The use of stainless steel pipe offers some advantages over other materials, but it also offers other benefits which are not normally realised at the front end design stage. The most common associated with stainless steel is the increase in service life because of its anti-corrosion properties. It can also be installed much faster than plain carbon steel or galvanised pipes. This is because stainless steel can have a much thinner wall thickness than carbon steel pipes, allowing tubes to be transported,
manipulated and easily lifted into place
