Stainless steel round pipe 20x1 mm AISI 201 (600 GRIT) — a high-quality round structural metal product of precise gauge, made of alloyed austenitic steel. The product has a fixed outer diameter of 20 mm, a wall thickness of 1.0 mm, and an inner nominal diameter of 18 mm. Due to this ratio of geometric parameters, this model belongs to the category of thin-walled lightweight steel products, which allows creating durable yet light frames and metal structures without unnecessary load on the load-bearing elements. The production is carried out by welding method using advanced TIG technology with complete technological cleaning and multi-stage mirror polishing of the outer weld to a high roughness class of 600 GRIT (chrome, mirror, gloss). The finish processing makes the weld visually imperceptible from the outside, ensuring flawless aesthetics of the product. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 meters.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from AISI 201 grade stainless steel, which is an effective and cost-efficient analogue of the 12Х15Г9НД alloy and the European standard EN 1.4372. Due to the optimal alloying with manganese, nitrogen, and nickel, this metal possesses high mechanical strength, hardness, and excellent ductility, welds flawlessly, and responds well to mechanical processing. The AISI 201 modification demonstrates excellent resistance to wear in conditions of moderate (non-aggressive) environments. Production is regulated by international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees strict compliance with geometric parameters, correct roundness, and maximum reliability of the welded joint. Country of origin — China.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to its perfect mirror shine of the outer surface (600 GRIT) and high aesthetic characteristics, this pipe is an ideal material for interior design and construction. It is massively used for the manufacture of modern furniture elements, stable bar counters, exclusive commercial and exhibition equipment, advertising structures, and exhibition stands. The model holds a special place in the production of light fences, internal railing systems, and their filling (infills/leers), and is also applied in machinery and engineering.
Recommended Environment: enclosed dry premises with a normal level of humidity, office, residential, and shopping centers, exhibition halls, as well as production workshops (for auxiliary and decorative structures).
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for internal pressure, therefore it is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems and any pressurized main pipelines.
• Moisture and Chemical Regime: the AISI 201 steel grade is not intended for operation in environments with constant high humidity (it is not recommended for use in bathrooms, swimming pools, saunas, or outdoor open air), as well as in highly aggressive chemical environments.
• Temperature Range: the maximum continuous operating temperature is +400°C, the maximum short-term temperature is up to +550°C, and the minimum operating temperature reaches -40°C. Resistance to sharp temperature fluctuations is average.
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 (microfiber) or a foam sponge. The smooth surface is easily cleaned of dust and contamination.
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 damage to the protective layer, 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 and scuffs during logistical operations, storage, and installation.
