Stainless steel piping

What is piping…

Piping is a system of pipes that convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another by comprehensively designing pipes, fittings, etc.

When we think of liquids and gases, we think of water and air, but some pipes flow special fluids. Among them, when it is called general piping, means piping that is directly connected to people's lives, such as water supply, hot water supply, or air conditioning piping.

Piping is so essential to people's daily lives that it is sometimes called a lifeline.

Furthermore, because it is a lifeline, it is necessary to have highly sustainable piping that will not interrupt supply even in  a disaster.

What is stainless steel piping?

Stainless steel is a rust-resistant metal artificially made from iron and contains chromium (Cr).

There is no doubt that its development was aimed at solving the drawback of iron, which tends to rust.

Although it is still a relatively new metal, having only been around for about 100 years, it has already become commonplace, and if you just look around you, you should be able to see it everywhere.

Its characteristics include "high strength", "high durability”, "excellent cleanliness", and "recyclability". By using superior stainless steel as a material, “stainless steel'' can be said to be the representative of superior piping.

However, there was a major problem in preventing stainless steel piping from becoming widespread: cost.

First, the material cost was higher than conventional piping materials.

Furthermore, conventional methods of joining pipes, such as welding and screwing, require highly specialized technical skills.

As a result, stainless steel piping has become a specialized type of piping that is superior but requires a high budget.

As a result, in Vietnam, it is currently only used for limited piping in important facilities and factories.

Sustainable Piping

The initial cost of the "JINOX System" is relatively high compared to other common piping materials such as PPR.

However, it has a high degree of sustainability in maintaining and continuing the initial state.

As a result, if you consider the life cycle cost, which is the total cost over the life of the building including the initial cost, it is possible to obtain sufficient cost benefits.

In addition, its excellent durability means less a waste material, which is appropriate for environmental issues.

Additionally, even if it becomes waste material, stainless steel has the advantage of being highly recyclable.

Based on the above, Benkan Vietnam regards the "JINOX system" as a sustainable piping system (SUSTAINABLE LIFELINE) and will strive to popularize it to contribute to the development of Vietnam.
