Do you know what series and grade of stainless material? Many 300 series
SS grades yield strength is only ~30% that of 4130 chrommoly carbon steel
but still useable within limitations. A53 grade B Sch 80 pipe is also only
about 35% yield of 4130 steel so strength is significantly less than
chomoly. OD of Sch 80 NPS 1-1/2 is ~1.90" so does not always properly fit
a 2" thrust bearing (depend of the bearing) or use a 1-15/16 ID pillow block
thrust bearing...

Subject: [TowerTalk] Mast Material
Does anyone have experience with Stainless Steel pipe for mast material? I
have access to 1.5" ID, schedule 80 in a 13' length that was left over from
a work project. It looks very robust for a future project . Are there any
pitfalls with Stainless?
