Thin Wall Stainless Steel Drinking Water Terms

Annealing - Reducing hardness and stress in a metal, such as stainless steel, through heating and cooling applications.  
 
Bright Annealing - A form of annealing in which the level of atmospheric gas is reduced in order to remove surface oxides from the surface of the stainless steel and to prevent discoloration during the annealing process. This process is responsible for the bright, shiny appearance associated with stainless steel. 
 
Burst Pressure - The internal pressure limit of stainless steel tubing at which point the tube material will expand to the point of deformation or bursting. 
 
Cold Drawing - A cold forming process, commonly used in tube and pipe diameter reduction, in which a tube is drawn through a carbide die. The diameter of the emerging stainless steel tube or stainless steel pipe reflects the size of the die.
