Stainless steel round pipe 22x1.5 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — premium structural metal product of precise gauge, manufactured from high-alloy food-grade 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 geometric configuration provides an excellent combination of high mechanical stiffness, resistance to deformation, and a lightweight spatial frame structure. 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 classic food-grade stainless steel grade AISI 304, which is the closest analog of the domestic alloy 08Х18Н10 and the European standard EN 1.4301 (also known as 18/10 steel due to its content of 18% chromium and 10% nickel). Due to the high content of noble alloying elements, the metal has unique chemical resistance, anti-corrosion durability, and excellent weldability. The alloy is completely inert, non-magnetic, and long resists oxidation in humid environments. Production is strictly regulated by leading international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees perfect roundness of the product. The country of origin for this series of metal products is Vietnam, which is known for its strict quality control and high level of factory polishing.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The combination of a flawless mirror surface (600 GRIT) and the high anti-corrosion resistance of AISI 304 steel makes this pipe a versatile premium material. It is designed for operation in industrial refrigeration and heat exchange equipment, as well as in laboratories and medical institutions where strict sanitary and hygienic requirements apply. In addition, due to its resistance to aggressive atmospheric factors, the model is an ideal choice for the construction of water transport: handrails, guardrails, awning frames, marine equipment, and deck components for boats, yachts, and launches.
Recommended Environment: open outdoor air (under any climate conditions), water transport, medical and chemical laboratories, food units, professional kitchens, facilities with high humidity, as well as machinery and the transport sector.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for high internal pressure. It is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems and any pressurized main pipelines.
• Chemical Regime: despite its high anti-corrosion resistance to water and most organic compounds, it is not recommended to use the pipe in highly aggressive chemical environments (concentrated acid or alkaline solutions).
• Temperature Regime: steel grade AISI 304 is characterized by extreme temperature stability. The maximum continuous operating temperature is +600°C, the maximum short-term temperature is up to +850°C, and the minimum operating temperature for exploitation reaches cryogenic -196°C. Resistance to sudden temperature drops is high.
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 mirror surface is easily cleaned of dust, salt deposits, and contaminants.
Prohibited Care Products:
The use of agents containing chlorine, active acids, as well as abrasive powders or stiff metal brushes is not allowed. Failure to comply with these rules leads to damage to the protective layer, dulling of the gloss, and the appearance of micro-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.
