When to Use Stainless Steel Pipe instead of Carbon Steel Pipe

Stainless steel pipe excels in corrosive environments, hygiene-critical applications like food and pharma, and where a clean appearance is paramount. Though initially pricier, stainless steel often delivers better long-term value in harsh conditions by resisting rust and minimizing maintenance. Carbon steel remains economical for mild services, but understanding the application dictates the best choice.
