[0002] In the current field of stainless steel pipe technology, stainless steel pipe is a hollow long round steel, which is widely used in industrial pipelines such as petroleum, chemical, medical, food, light industry, mechanical instruments, and mechanical structural components. When the length of the stainless steel pipe needs to be extended, multiple stainless steel pipes need to be connected, and the commonly used method is welding. However, when stainless steel pipes are welded, the thermal expansion coefficient of stainless steel is higher than that of ordinary carbon steel. In addition, it is easily deformed due to the influence of heat from different directions during welding, which increases the welding cost of stainless steel. Therefore, stainless steel pipe connectors are required.
