Stainless steel round pipe 38x1.5 mm AISI 201 (600 GRIT) — a reliable structural metal product of precise round gauge with a reinforced wall, manufactured from high-strength alloyed stainless steel of the austenitic class. Having a standard outer diameter of 38 mm, the product is endowed with an increased wall thickness of 1.5 mm, as a result of which the inner through diameter is 35 mm. This engineering ratio of parameters significantly increases the structure's resistance to bending, torsion, and fracture, allowing the creation of ultra-strong spatial frameworks, highly loaded commercial equipment, racks, and wear-resistant systems of internal fencing. The profile is manufactured using advanced high-precision automatic 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 with ultra-fine abrasives makes the weld absolutely imperceptible visually and tactually from the outside, which guarantees flawless architectural aesthetics, affordable cost, and premium reflective shine for the product. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 m.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from durable stainless steel grade AISI 201, which is a direct reference analog of the alloy 12X15G9ND according to GOST and the European standard EN 1.4372. Due to its balanced alloying with manganese, nitrogen, and optimal nickel content, this metal possesses increased mechanical hardness, exceptional tensile strength, and reliable service in moderate (non-aggressive) operational 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, high precision of geometric parameters, and maximum strength of the weld joint at the molecular level. The country of origin for this series of metal products is Vietnam, whose plants are known for strict quality control and a premium level of factory surface polishing.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The combination of a reinforced 1.5 mm wall, a popular 38 mm gauge, and reference mirror gloss (600 GRIT) makes this pipe a highly rational, strong, and economically beneficial choice for objects with an increased intensity of exploitation. Thanks to the ideal grip for a human palm and increased resistance to deformation, it is mass-used for the installation of internal railings, stairs, fences, wall-mounted handrails, as well as reinforced holders and structures for people with special needs. The model is a basic standard for the manufacture of modern commercial equipment, reliable furniture frameworks, advertising and exhibition stands, as well as strong auxiliary elements in objects of technology, transport, and mechanical engineering.
Recommended Environment: interiors of office, residential, and shopping centers, exhibition halls, commercial pavilions, premises with low or stable humidity, objects of urban transport, technology, mechanical engineering, as well as food blocks (exclusively as auxiliary and support load-bearing structures without direct contact with food products or aggressive cleaning substances).
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products (ASTM A-554) and has a rigid frame structure. Despite the increased wall thickness, this pipe is strictly forbidden to be used as a main pipeline in systems under high hydrodynamic, steam, or internal pressure.
• Environmental Specification: the AISI 201 steel grade is not intended for use in environments with constant high humidity, outdoors under the influence of aggressive atmospheric precipitation (rain, snow, fog), or in direct contact with chemically active industrial alkalis, concentrated mineral acids, or chlorine-based compounds.
• Temperature Regime: the profile is designed for moderate thermal loads (resistance to temperature drops is medium). The safe maximum continuous operating temperature is +400°C. Maximum short-term thermal heating is allowed up to +550°C. The minimum operating temperature of exploitation is -40°C.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original reference glossy shine of the 600 GRIT surface, mild soapy solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be used. Cleaning is performed exclusively with a soft cloth (microfiber) or a foam sponge, which easily remove dust and traces of touch.
Prohibited Care Products:
It is not allowed to use agents containing chlorine, active acids, as well as abrasive powders and stiff metal brushes or scourers. Failure to comply with these rules leads to micro-damage of the passive protective layer of the product, the appearance of scratches, and rapid dulling of the gloss.
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.
