Stainless steel tube 10 mm (600 GRIT) — is a high-quality round structural metal product of precise calibration with excellent aesthetic and operational properties. The tube features an outer diameter of 10 mm, while the wall thickness varies from 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm and more depending on its intended purpose. The product is manufactured via advanced TIG welding technology with the external weld seam fully processed and mirror-polished to a high-grade 600 GRIT rating (chrome, high-gloss finish). The inner surface remains unpolished, and the weld seam itself is visually imperceptible from the outside, as the entire external surface is polished evenly. The tubes are supplied in 6-meter lengths.
Material Specification and Standards
This profile is universal and can be manufactured from various grades of alloyed stainless steel (specifically, AISI 201, AISI 304, or AISI 316) depending on the needs of a particular project. Production strictly conforms to international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees flawless precision of geometric parameters and high reliability of the weld joint.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to the perfect mirror shine of its outer surface (600 GRIT) and the high rigidity of the 10 mm caliber, this tube is widely used in architectural design, manufacturing of handrails, lightweight railings, modern furniture, decorative elements, commercial display engineering, as well as advertising structures and stands. Furthermore, this size is highly demanded in industry for manufacturing tubular electric heaters (TEHs), heat exchange equipment, and mounting elements for heated towel rails. However, the choice of operating environment directly depends on the chemical composition of the metal:
- AISI 201 grade: best suited for indoor dry spaces, office, shopping, and exhibition halls with controlled humidity levels, as well as for mechanical engineering and technical processes in moderate environments.
- AISI 304 grade (food-grade): optimized for outdoor applications (in moderate climates), coastal regions, as well as in spaces with high humidity levels — swimming pools, saunas, bathrooms, and restrooms.
- AISI 316 grade (acid-resistant): designed for operation in aggressive chemical environments, industrial workshops, as well as for prolonged contact with seawater or chlorinated solutions.
Technical and Operational Restrictions:
• Structural application only: this product belongs to the structural metal profile category and is not rated for internal pressure; therefore, it is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems or any high-pressure pipelines.
• Correct grade selection: to prevent premature corrosion of the structure, it is critical to strictly match the steel grade (AISI 201, 304, or 316) with the actual chemical and climatic conditions at the facility.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To maintain the original 600 GRIT high-gloss shine, mild soap solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be applied. Cleaning must be carried out using only a soft cloth or a foam sponge.
Prohibited Maintenance Methods:
The use of products containing chlorine, active acids, abrasive powders, and stiff wire brushes is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with these guidelines results in permanent tarnishing and scratching of the mirror surface.
The products are supplied in brand-new commercial condition, wrapped in a protective polymer film to minimize the risk of accidental scratches during logistics, handling, and installation. Country of origin: Vietnam.
