DWT V-HEAD STAINLESS STEEL ROLLERS FOR MAXI FLEX

Stainless steel rollers used in a pipe stand vee head are more suitable for heavy-duty applications where durability and strength are required, especially with harder materials. Here’s a breakdown of the materials they are ideal for:

Steel Pipe: Stainless steel rollers are tough and durable, making them ideal for supporting and rotating steel pipes, especially for heavy-duty welding and fabrication. They can handle the weight and abrasiveness of steel without wear.

Carbon Steel Pipe: Like steel pipe, carbon steel is robust and can withstand the use of stainless steel rollers, which provide excellent support for handling this material.

Cast Iron Pipe: Stainless steel rollers can handle the rough and heavy nature of cast iron pipes, offering the strength and durability required.

Galvanized Steel Pipe: Stainless steel rollers are strong enough to handle galvanized pipes, though care should be taken to avoid damaging the zinc coating on the pipe surface if appearance or corrosion resistance is a concern.

Thick-Walled or Large Diameter Pipes: When working with large or thick-walled pipes, stainless steel rollers provide the strength and stability needed for smooth handling and rotation.

When to Use Stainless Steel Rollers:

• Heavy-duty materials: Steel, cast iron, and other hard metals.
• High load-bearing capacity: Stainless steel rollers are excellent for pipes with substantial weight or thickness.
• Durability in tough environments: They are corrosion-resistant and can be used in harsh environments, especially where strength and long-term wear resistance are essential.

Stainless steel rollers are not typically used with softer materials like aluminum, copper, or plastic, as they can easily scratch or damage these surfaces. They’re more suitable for applications where surface finish is less of a concern, and strength is paramount.
