First, choose a suitable storage location that is clean and well-ventilated, free of debris and harmful gases. Keep the steel surface clean to prevent corrosion. For more expensive metal products, consider storing them in sealed storage, but ensure proper ventilation. Precision steel pipes should be protected with opaque coverings during storage to prevent rust and aging. The covering should be sturdy and reliable, ensuring ventilation and preventing water vapor from collecting on the surface. When storing, support them and keep them at a certain distance from the ground to ensure proper ventilation. When stacking, pay attention to the number of layers to avoid localized stress on the pipe ends and damage to the anti-corrosion coating. Precision steel pipes should also be pickled, using both chemical and electrolytic methods. Chemical cleaning can thoroughly clean the surface, but may not remove dirt in fine cracks.

1. Know how to prevent rust. Cleaning the surface of precision steel pipes is also crucial. Solvents or emulsions can be used to remove oil and dust.
2. Understand the uses of precision steel pipes and what can be done after maintenance. Precision steel pipes are used in the manufacturing of machinery, automobiles, aerospace, and other fields. To extend the life of precision steel pipes, we can choose suitable storage sites and warehouses, keep the pipes clean, avoid stacking them with corrosive materials, and stack different types of steel pipes separately.
3. Proper Stacking: Stack materials by type and specification, and stack different types separately to prevent mixing and cross-corrosion. The bottom of the stack should be elevated, solid, and flat to prevent moisture and deformation. Steel sections stacked outdoors must be placed on wooden mats or stone blocks, with a slight slope to facilitate drainage. Ensure that the materials are laid straight to prevent bending and deformation. Also, ensure that there are adequate passages between stacks. Inspection paths are generally 0.5 meters long, and access paths are generally 1.5 to 2.0 meters long, depending on the size of the materials and the transport machinery.

Finally, protective packaging and coatings are important measures to prevent rust. Preservatives or other coatings applied to steel pipes before leaving the pipe factory, as well as packaging, must be carefully protected during transportation and loading and unloading to prevent damage. This can extend the material's shelf life. Before storage, materials should be protected from rain and impurities. Materials that have been exposed to rain or contaminated should be cleaned using different methods depending on their properties. For example, a wire brush can be used for high-hardness materials, while cloth or cotton can be used for low-hardness materials. After storage, materials should be inspected regularly, and any rust should be removed. For high-quality steel, precision steel pipes, alloy steel sheets, thin-walled pipes, high-frequency welded steel pipes, and alloy steel pipes, after rust removal, both the interior and exterior surfaces should be coated with rust-proof oil before storage. Severely rusted steel pipes should not be stored long-term after rust removal and should be used as soon as possible.

The above methods are some of the simplest ways to extend the life of precision steel pipes. Simply following these methods will significantly enhance the performance of your precision steel pipes. We encourage you to try them and make your precision steel pipes even more durable.
