Stainless steel round pipe 16 mm (600 GRIT) — a high-quality round structural metal product of precise gauge, made of durable alloy steel. The product has an outer diameter of 16 mm, while the wall thickness and inner nominal diameter are selected according to the project requirements (available wall thickness options include 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 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 bars with a standard length of 6 meters.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel (depending on the purpose, AISI 201, food-grade AISI 304, or acid-resistant AISI 316 grades are available). The chemical composition of the alloys ensures high mechanical properties, optimal strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Production is strictly regulated by international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees 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 high structural stability, the round pipe of 16 mm gauge is a versatile material. It is actively used for the manufacture of handrails, light fences, modern furniture, interior decor elements, advertising structures, exhibition stands, kitchen equipment, as well as mounting elements for heated towel rails.
Recommended Environment: office and shopping centers, exhibition halls, enclosed dry premises, as well as production workshops, engineering facilities, and technical complexes. Provided that the appropriate steel grade is selected (e.g., AISI 304/316), the product can be operated outdoors under moderate climate conditions.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: by construction type, the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for internal pressure. A strict limitation is established — it is forbidden to use the pipe in systems under high pressure.
• Selection Criteria: when choosing a specific position, it is important to consider the future operating conditions: a wall thickness of 1–1.2 mm is ideal for light decor, 1.5 mm — for universal units, and 2 mm — for increased mechanical loads.
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 and installation. The country of origin is China.
