Stainless steel round pipe 22x1.5 mm AISI 201 (600 GRIT) — high-quality structural metal product of precise gauge, manufactured in the form of a hollow cylinder from alloyed austenitic steel. The product has a fixed outer diameter of 22 mm and an optimal wall thickness of 1.5 mm, thanks to which the inner matching diameter is 19 mm. This configuration provides an excellent balance between the mechanical strength of the structure and its low actual weight. The profile is manufactured using advanced high-precision TIG welding technology with complete technological cleaning and multi-stage mirror polishing of the outer weld to the highest roughness class of 600 GRIT (chrome, mirror, gloss). The finish processing makes the weld visually and tactually imperceptible from the outside, guaranteeing flawless aesthetics and maximum shine. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 meters.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel grade AISI 201 with the addition of nitrogen, which acts as an effective and cost-efficient analog of the domestic alloy 12Х15Г9НД and the European standard EN 1.4372. Due to well-balanced alloying, this metal features high hardness, strength, and excellent plasticity during mechanical processing (bending, cutting). The AISI 201 modification demonstrates excellent wear resistance in moderate (non-aggressive) environments and is significantly more affordable than high-nickel grades. Production is strictly regulated by international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees strict roundness and maximum reliability of the welded joint. The country of origin for this position is Vietnam, which is known for its high level of factory polishing.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The versatile outer diameter of 22 mm combined with a flawless mirror surface (600 GRIT) makes this pipe a popular material for design, construction, and manufacturing. It is widely used in the production of reliable internal handrail systems and protective guardrails, stylish towel warmers, modern furniture, as well as components for commercial and exhibition equipment, advertising structures, and branded stands. The optimal 1.5 mm wall allows for the creation of durable spatial frames that do not weigh down the finished structure, ensuring its durability and premium appearance.
Recommended Environment: enclosed spaces with low and normal humidity levels, office, residential and commercial centers, exhibition halls, showrooms, transport, as well as industrial production (for durable auxiliary elements and structures in food units).
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for internal pressure. It is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems, fuel systems, and any pressurized main pipelines.
• Humidity and Chemical Regime: steel grade AISI 201 is not intended for operation in environments with constant high humidity (it is not recommended for use in open outdoor air, pools, saunas, or shower areas), as well as in highly aggressive chemical environments.
• Temperature Regime: the maximum continuous operating temperature is +400°C, the maximum short-term temperature is up to +550°C, and the minimum operating temperature for exploitation is -40°C. Resistance to sudden temperature drops 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 contaminants.
Prohibited Care Products:
The use of agents containing chlorine, active acids, as well as abrasive powders and stiff metal brushes is not allowed. Failure to comply with these rules leads to damage to the passive protective layer, dulling of the gloss, and the appearance of scratches.
The products are delivered in proper commercial condition (new) in a protective polymer film, which completely minimizes the risk of accidental damage, scratches, and scuffs during logistical operations, warehouse storage, and installation.
