How Stainless Steel replaced Iron?

 

Years back, iron was one of the most used metal because of its qualities of durability, versatility and most importantly, its abundancy. But the problem occurs when it rusts rapidly due to its susceptible nature. And to give a solution to this problem, stainless steel was invented.

Stainless steel is an iron chromium alloy. It is excellent in resisting to corrosion. Like other metals, it also contains carbon.

CHARACTERISTICS OF STAINLESS STEEL:

1.     Corrosion resistant

2.     Durable

3.     Temperature resistant

4.     High tensile strength

5.     Low maintenance

6.     Environment friendly(recyclable)

IMPORTANCE OF STAINLESS STEEL IN AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY:

Farmers want to protect their farms by fences, gates etc. Here stainless steel becomes the best option as it is easy to fabricate as well as weld.

Every human being needs water to sustain and so as the animals. Here stainless steel provides a good role as the watering devices are made up of stainless steel so that any livestock does not get hurt. The agriculture industry favours stainless steel because the equipments can be made in the desired shape.

     

Ventilation is one of the most important factors which needs to be considered while constructing farm buildings. Urine and manure make the atmospheric conditions quite corrosive. Therefore, stainless steel proves a good solution to ventilation ducts and their fasteners.

 

STAINLESS STEEL PUMPS:

In today’s scenario, stainless steel pumps are being used in many aspects of life.

It can transport water from long distance and for long periods. It is suitable for different temperatures and pressures.

Stainless steel water pump spare parts and materials have been used in various types of pumps like, stainless steel centrifugal pumps, stainless steel submersible pumps, stainless steel gear pumps, stainless steel plunger pumps etc.

The main reason why stainless steel pump is better is that it has higher hydraulic efficiency which means it can save electricity by 10-20% compared to iron pumps.

 

CONCLUSION:

We  can conclude that in today’s world, industries are shifting to stainless steel as it is playing a great role in many aspects because of its characteristics of corrosion resistant, low maintenance, environment friendly etc which are not found in iron.

What is a Pump impeller? Everything you need to know about the impeller

Image
  An impeller is an integral part of the water pump which helps in the cooling of the vehicle. Impeller is that part that is responsible for the distribution of a fluid substance throughout the system in machinery. That is why it is an important part of the pump and should be properly made in order to provide proper cooling. It is important for the impeller to be in working condition because function failure of the impeller may cause damage to the machinery.   The main cause of impeller failure is cavitation, which causes deterioration of the pump, noise and vibration and pump damage. Another cause of impeller failure is erosion, which refers to the wear and tear caused by continuous use of the pump. It is advisable to change the impellers in a duration of minimum 3 years to avoid damage to the pump and machinery because a non-functional impeller may not cool the pump resulting in overheating and permanent damage.

How Highly efficient pumps have changed the agriculture scenario in India

Image
  Way Back when agriculture in India lacked technological advancements, the farmers used to rely on rain for water. They also used to make canals from the river to get their crops a sufficient amount of water. Traditional water harvesting methods used to have a huge impact on the crops because it was all about being dependent on nature for the crops to harvest properly. Drought could spoil the months of hard work of farmers and farmers could do nothing about it. But as technology upgraded and proper irrigation systems came into play, life of the farmers became easy to an extent. Pumps become a necessary part of agriculture. Pumps help in the irrigation process by supplying an efficient amount of water to every part of the field properly. Pumps can even draw water from borewells and far away places through proper electric connection. Some pumps even run without electricity i.e. they have petrol, diesel, or kerosene engine. This helps the farmers in every sense as they don’t have...
