Pipe IVAR.INOX - stainless steel AISI 304 L - 54mm; 1,5mm - 6m IVAR.IVINT4

Product detailed description

Stainless steel pipes such as the IVAR.INOX model are commonly utilised in high-purity environments where resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure is essential. These include healthcare facilities, laboratories, food processing plants and industrial settings where compressed air or inert gases are transported. Installers working in these sectors require piping solutions that maintain internal cleanliness and structural integrity under varying pressures and temperatures.

The IVAR.INOX range is particularly suited to press-fit connection systems, enabling quick and reliable assembly without the need for welding or threading. This facilitates faster installation times and reduces potential leak points, especially in complex layouts where frequent directional changes are required. The seamless construction of the pipe ensures uniform strength along its length and minimises the risk of contamination or blockage.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

For press-fit connections, ensure the pipe end is clean and free from burrs or deformations before inserting into the fitting. Use a calibrated pressing tool according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to achieve the correct compression depth. Confirm the tool is set to the appropriate die size for the pipe diameter. Avoid over-tightening or misalignment, which can cause deformation or incomplete sealing. When cutting the pipe, use a precision cutting tool to prevent ovalisation of the cross-section. Always verify the fit before applying force during pressing.

Compatibility and accessories

This pipe is compatible with press-fit fittings and valves from the IVAR range. To complete the system, additional components such as elbows, tees, couplings and reducers may be required. Ensure all fittings are rated for the same media and operating conditions as the pipe. For non-standard configurations, consult the manufacturer’s technical documentation to confirm compatibility with existing system components.

Technical background for designers

Stainless steel pipes operate based on their ability to maintain internal surface smoothness and resist corrosion, making them ideal for transporting sensitive media. The material’s low carbon content (AISI 304 L) enhances weldability and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion in high-temperature environments. Its thermal expansion coefficient should be considered when designing long runs to accommodate movement and prevent stress fractures. System efficiency is further supported by the absence of internal coatings or linings, ensuring consistent flow characteristics over time.

Service and operation

Periodically inspect the pipe for signs of wear, corrosion or mechanical damage, particularly at joints and bends. Clean internal surfaces as required depending on the transported media. Maintain proper support spacing to prevent sagging or excessive vibration. In high-risk environments, consider implementing a preventive maintenance schedule aligned with the system’s operational demands.

Frequently asked questions

Can this pipe be used for gas applications?
Yes, the IVAR.INOX pipe is certified for gas and pneumatic systems, provided the operating conditions match the specifications outlined in the technical documentation.

Is this pipe suitable for press-fit systems?
Yes, the design supports press-fit connections using approved tools and fittings, ensuring secure and leak-free joints.

What media types is this pipe certified for?
The pipe is suitable for sanitary installations, compressed air, industrial gases and other non-aggressive media, as indicated in the technical approval documents.

Can this pipe be cut to custom lengths on-site?
