Are there any PN10 carbon steel and stainless steel piping systems available?
Thread Content
I know that, according to the standards, carbon steel and stainless steel pipes, fittings, and valves of PN10 do exist, but some people say that they cost the same as those of PN16; therefore, PN16 is chosen. Is this indeed the case in the actual market?
PN10 carbon steel and stainless steel piping systems do exist, but whether to choose PN10 or PN16 in the market depends more on the specific application and price. Although some people choose PN16 because of its similar price and higher pressure resistance, this does not mean that PN10 is not commonly used. In fact, the choice of standard should be determined based on engineering requirements and cost-effectiveness. Market conditions may vary across different regions and suppliers; it is recommended to consult local suppliers or industry experts for specific information. .
PN10 and PN16 have the same dimensions up to DN150, while PN10 and PN40 share the same dimensions up to DN50. So the so-called PN10 size specification available on the market is merely the result of artificially reducing the flange thickness; it’s labeled as PN10, but in reality it’s just a way to deceive laypeople
It was planned to order them as PN10, but what arrived was PN16; the higher grade can be used with the lower grade plus the sizes are compatible, so there’s no need to worry about it.
