Roughness thickness for SS304/SS306

[patrickraj]

What is the roughness thickness value for SS304/SS306 PIPE MATREIAL.Is it sams as commercial steel value of 0.00015feet.

Thanks in advance

That value would correspond to new/clean pipe. If your fluid can build up along the walls I would use a larger value (like 0.2 mm) to be on the safe side.

Dear kristofor,

Any published roughness thickness value is available for SS304/SS306 pipes.Any reference.

Roughness for stainless steels is very important factor in Polymer/power handling or semi-conductor process systems.

As higher roughness, the flow of fluid is more difficult and the fluid may be easily deposited on the metal surface.

To prevent the problems, the electopolishing treatment is one of the most popular methods.
