Piping Specification
Industrial manufacturing guidelines define the technical requirements for stainless steel tubes used in liquid delivery systems. The iso 10357 standard specifies dimensions, tolerances, and materials for welded tubes that carry processing fluids in industrial facilities. These tubes must have smooth internal surfaces to prevent chemical build-up and ensure efficient cleaning between batches.
Corrosion Resistance
Chemical treatments applied during the bleaching and dyeing of flax fibers require pipes that can withstand highly alkaline and acidic solutions. Tubes fabricated under the iso 10357 standard use specific grades of stainless steel, such as 316L, which resist pitting and crevice corrosion. If the internal surfaces are too rough, microscopic chemical deposits can accumulate and contaminate the next batch of fabric, causing uneven dyeing or bleaching.
Technicians inspect the welded seams of these tubes using non-destructive testing to verify that no structural defects exist that could lead to leaks under high pressure.
Finishing Application
Finishing mills install these certified tubes in their wet processing lines to maintain fluid purity and system pressure. The standard ensures that the piping can handle the temperatures and chemical concentrations used to scour and soften heavy linen fabrics. Continuous operation is maintained because the high-grade steel minimizes the need for unscheduled maintenance or pipe replacements during production runs.
