Best Practices to Prevent the Coronavirus from Spreading

Surely, you’ve heard all about the Coronavirus by now. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is continuously releasing updated information a far as what the best practices are to keep the virus from spreading. Governors across the country are mandating closures of businesses to limit the spread as much as possible. This is quite a unique experience that many have never seen before. The best path forward is to follow all the instructions from the CDC and local government. Keep in mind that they are working for us and with us to help life go back to normal as quickly as possible. In this blog, we’re going to highlight the most up-to-date tips for combatting this virus:

Social Distancing. The CDC recommends that everyone social distance. This means to avoid congregating in large groups. The size of group has changed multiple times, and currently it’s considered unacceptable to meet in a room with a group of 10 or more people. Therefore, many who can are working from home. We would agree and recommend that if you and your team are able, that you work from home.

Stay healthy by washing your hands
Washing your hands is one of the best ways to remain healthy. 


If You’re Sick, Stay Home. If you are sick, you need to self-quarantine and only leave the house for medical treatments. Make sure to call your doctor before heading to the office or the hospital. You want to know that your doctor is available and can see you. Also, he or she could have advice that you can try at home before visiting.

Eliminate Unnecessary Travel. If you have a trip planned for spring break, that would be considered unnecessary. While traveling is fun, and we all love it, what’s most important right now is everyone’s health. If we all decide to follow the CDC’s instructions and stay home (if possible depending upon work situations), we can flatten the curve as they say.

Wash Your Hands. The CDC explains that you must wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds. Make sure you wash thoroughly, every finger and underneath your fingernails. Also, you can use hand sanitizer that contains 60% alcohol, and be sure that you cover all areas of your hands.

Common Applications for Stainless Steel Tubing

     Stainless steel has been one of the most common and versatile materials in the world since it came into production over 100 years ago. It has become an indispensable product for a variety of industries . Due to it's broad range of sizes and custom-made designs, it is an integral piece in many specific applications.      Certain industries use certain stainless tubing for different sectors. Many manufacturers, mills and manufacturing lines use parts of stainless steel for their machinery and goods they make. Same goes for the automotive industry where it is used for high quality mufflers. Gas and heat lines allow stainless steel tube lines to withstand extreme pressures being forced through them. It is also 100% recyclable and easy to sterilize.      Unlike ordinary steel, stainless steel isn't prone to corrosion, rusting or staining with exposure to water. It is not totally stain proof however. In areas with low oxyge...

Difference Between Tube and Pipe

Have you ever wondered if there is a difference between steel tube and steel pipe? Are these words interchangeable to describe the same cylindrical piece of metal? As it turns out, there is indeed a significant difference and they are not synonymous. So let's take a look at the differences. 1. Measuring Diameter This might not seem like a big difference, but it actually is. Steel tube is measured from outside edge to outside edge, while pipe is measured only for the internal opening. This is because steel tube has its strength determined by the thickness of its walls, and steel pipe's usefulness is determined by the volume it can hold. It is common to find a 12-inch pipe, but it would be extremely rare to find a 12-inch tube. Tubes are used in applications that require a smaller size. 2. Structure Steel tube does not have to be cylindrical. It can be square or some other shape. Pipe, on the other hand, is always round. Tube can have a seam while pipe is a uniform piece. Pipe te...
