Faster, More Reliable Piping Systems for Data Center Cooling Systems
Build and expand critical cooling infrastructure faster without welding, threading, or hot work.
Higher rack densities, AI workloads, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and phased facility expansions are increasing the demands placed on data center cooling systems. The piping behind that infrastructure must support dependable flow, efficient installation, future scalability, and long-term system performance.
TruPress stainless steel press-fit piping helps contractors, engineers, and facility teams build and expand chilled water loops, liquid cooling systems, CDU connections, and other mission-critical mechanical infrastructure more efficiently.
With fast, flame-free connections and durable stainless steel construction, TruPress helps reduce installation time, simplify work in active facilities, and deliver reliable piping where cooling uptime cannot be compromised.
Data Center Cooling Infrastructure Needs Are Changing
Data centers are operating at higher densities, driving increased heat loads and faster adoption of liquid cooling systems. As cooling strategies evolve, piping infrastructure must support higher performance, tighter tolerances, and long-term reliability.
Stainless steel piping is widely used in modern data center cooling systems because it delivers corrosion resistance, clean fluid pathways, and consistent performance across mission-critical environments.
Where Stainless Steel Piping Is Used in Data Centers
Stainless steel piping supports multiple layers of data center cooling infrastructure:
- Chilled water systems
- CDU (coolant distribution unit) piping
- Facility loop piping
- CRAH / CRAC systems
- In-row cooling systems
- Primary and secondary cooling loops
- Rack-level manifolds
- Liquid cooling distribution lines
- Mechanical room and plant piping
- Expansion and retrofit projects
As data center designs scale, piping systems must support both current loads and future cooling upgrades without compromising reliability.
Why Stainless Steel for Data Centers
In a data center, piping failure is not an option. Stainless steel is used in data center cooling systems because it helps reduce corrosion risk, supports long service life, and maintains system integrity under continuous operation.
It is especially suited for chilled water and liquid cooling environments where system cleanliness, leak resistance, and durability directly impact uptime.
TruPress for Data Center Cooling Systems
TruPress is AST’s stainless steel press-fit piping system, designed to help teams install mechanical and process piping faster, more consistently, and with less disruption.
For chilled water, liquid cooling, CDU piping, and other mission-critical cooling infrastructure, TruPress provides a reliable stainless steel piping solution without the need for welding or threading.
Its press-fit connection technology creates secure, leak-tight joints while reducing hot work, installation time, and the number of high-risk steps required on site.
This helps teams deliver data center piping systems with:
- Faster installation timelines
- Reduced hot-work requirements
- Consistent connection quality
- Lower installation disruption in active environments
- Improved scalability for phased builds
Reliable, Scalable Data Center Cooling Systems
Modern data centers demand piping systems that are clean, leak-resistant, and capable of supporting higher heat loads and complex liquid cooling loops. TruPress stainless steel press-fit piping enables teams to build these systems faster, safer, and with consistent reliability—whether for new builds, phased expansions, or retrofit projects.
AST works with engineers, contractors, and facility managers to ensure every data center cooling project meets performance, schedule, and safety goals.
