Stainless steel pipe 18 mm (600 GRIT) — a high-quality round structural metal product of precise gauge, made of modern alloyed grades of austenitic steel. The product has a universal outer diameter of 18 mm and, depending on the project requirements, can be supplied with various wall thicknesses: 1.0 mm or a reinforced wall thickness of 1.5 mm. The production is carried out by welding method using advanced TIG technology with complete technological seam cleaning and multi-stage mirror polishing of the outer weld to a high roughness class of 600 GRIT (chrome, mirror, gloss). The inner surface remains untreated, while the weld itself is visually imperceptible from the outside due to uniform finish processing. The pipe is supplied in standard bars with a length of 6 meters and possesses an excellent balance between weight and mechanical rigidity.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel grades (in particular, AISI 201 or AISI 304), which ensures a long service life, resistance to oxidation, and an aesthetic appearance for the product. The high quality of the metal product guarantees excellent weldability by various methods, tensile and compressive strength, as well as ease of processing. Production is strictly regulated by international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which confirms the flawless precision of geometric parameters, correct roundness, and high reliability of the welded joint.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to its perfect mirror shine of the outer surface (600 GRIT) and the optimal diameter of 18 mm, the round pipe is a universal material for design, construction, and industry. It is actively used for the manufacture of elements for handrails and fences, bar counters, furniture for the HoReCa sector (cafes, bars, restaurants), stylish kitchen and commercial equipment, branded showrooms, as well as in the production of heat exchange equipment elements.
Recommended Environment: office, residential, and shopping centers, exhibition halls and stands, enclosed spaces, open air (in moderate non-aggressive climate conditions), as well as technical facilities, instrumentation, and mechanical engineering.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for high internal pressure, therefore it is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems and any main pipelines under pressure.
• Operational Features: the choice of a specific steel grade (AISI 201 or AISI 304) must correspond to environmental conditions. The pipe is not recommended to be operated in highly aggressive chemical or concentrated acidic environments without proper maintenance.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original glossy shine of the 600 GRIT surface, mild soapy solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be applied. Cleaning is performed exclusively with a soft cloth or a foam sponge.
Prohibited Care Products:
The use of agents containing chlorine, active acids, as well as abrasive powders and stiff metal brushes is not permitted. Failure to comply with these rules leads to irreversible dulling of the gloss and the appearance of scratches.
The products are delivered in proper commercial condition (new), enclosed in a protective polymer film, which minimizes the risk of accidental damage during logistical operations, cutting, and installation. The country of origin is Vietnam.
