Pipe IVAR.INOX - stainless steel AISI 316 L - 22mm; 1,2mm - 6m IVAR.IVINT

Product detailed description

This stainless steel pipe is commonly used in industrial, fire suppression, and gas piping systems, as well as in sanitary installations requiring high corrosion resistance. It is suitable for use in commercial and industrial buildings, including those with aggressive media environments. Installers typically integrate it into closed-loop systems, where reliable sealing and mechanical strength are essential. The pipe can be part of both low-pressure and medium-pressure systems, depending on the application and design.

The installation involves cutting the pipe to the required length using appropriate tools such as a tube cutter or saw, followed by preparation for pressing connections. The press-fit method ensures a secure and leak-free joint when performed correctly. Installers should ensure the internal surface remains clean and free of debris to maintain system integrity.

Technical parameters

Material	Stainless steel class Wst
Code	IVINT.22
Brand	IVAR

The specified material (AISI 316L) provides high resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it suitable for aggressive environments. The wall thickness and diameter determine the flow capacity and structural strength, which are critical factors during system design. These parameters help in selecting the correct size for a given hydraulic load and pressure requirements.Installation and connection Proper installation requires precise cutting and deburring of the pipe ends. The press-fit connection method uses dedicated tools to compress the fitting onto the pipe, forming a tight seal. The connection size corresponds to the pipe’s outer diameter. Before pressing, ensure the pipe is straight and the fitting is properly seated. Common mistakes include over-pressing, using incorrect tooling, or failing to clean the pipe before assembly, all of which can compromise the seal.

Compatibility and accessories

This stainless steel pipe is compatible with IVAR press fittings designed for the same diameter and material. When installing, additional components such as bends, tees, and valves should be selected according to the system layout. Ensure that all fittings are manufactured for stainless steel pipes to avoid incompatibility issues.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle relies on the inherent strength and flexibility of the stainless steel alloy. The material’s chemical composition (AISI 316L) includes molybdenum, which improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. This makes it ideal for environments with chlorides or other corrosive agents. Integration into the system requires careful calculation of expansion and contraction due to thermal changes. The long-term performance depends on maintaining clean internal surfaces and avoiding contamination from incompatible materials or substances.

Service and operation

Periodic inspections should focus on the integrity of press joints and the condition of the pipe’s surface. Any signs of corrosion, leaks, or mechanical damage require immediate attention. Cleaning can be performed using non-abrasive methods suitable for stainless steel. There are no specific service intervals outlined in the provided data; however, regular checks are recommended based on the operational environment.

Frequently asked questions

Can this stainless steel pipe be used in gas systems?
Yes, the pipe is suitable for gas applications, provided the system is designed according to relevant safety regulations and the correct fittings are used.

Is this pipe compatible with standard press tools?
Yes, the pipe is intended for use with IVAR press tools calibrated for stainless steel materials and the specified diameter.

Can the pipe be welded instead of pressed?
While welding is possible, the press-fit method is preferred for its speed and reliability. If welding is necessary, follow manufacturer guidelines for stainless steel joining techniques.

It also maintains structural integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
