Stainless steel round pipe 20x1.2 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — a premium round structural metal product of precise gauge, made of high-quality alloyed austenitic steel with outstanding anti-corrosion and strength properties. The product has a fixed outer diameter of 20 mm, an increased wall thickness of 1.2 mm, and an inner nominal diameter of 17.6 mm. Due to the thickened wall, this model features enhanced rigidity and resistance to mechanical loads, allowing the creation of reliable and durable load-bearing frames. 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 the highest roughness class of 600 GRIT (chrome, mirror, gloss). During processing, the weld becomes completely invisible from the outside, turning the pipe into a flawless element of modern design. The products are supplied in bars with a length of 6 meters.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from high-grade food-industry stainless steel of AISI 304 grade, which is a direct analogue of the 08Х18Н10 alloy and the European standard EN 1.4301. Due to the high content of chromium (18%) and nickel (10%), this alloy forms a stable oxide layer on the surface, which provides unique durability, absolute environmental safety, and maximum resistance to oxidation. The material possesses excellent weldability by standard methods, high ductility, and its perfectly smooth structure makes it difficult for dirt and bacteria to accumulate, which is critically important for the medical and food industries. Production is strictly regulated by leading international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees perfect roundness, precision gauge, and high reliability of the welded joint throughout the entire length of the bar. Country of origin — China.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to its perfect mirror shine (600 GRIT), increased strength due to the 1.2 mm wall, and long service life, the 20 mm diameter pipe is one of the most popular materials in the fields of architecture, construction, design, and HoReCa. It is massively used for the production of modern internal and external railing systems, fences (as a railing pipe or handrail), heated towel rails, stable bar counters, exclusive furniture, and equipment for cafes, bars, and restaurants. In addition, due to its high hygiene and moisture resistance, the profile is widely used for the manufacture of commercial equipment elements, showroom design, as well as in machinery, engineering, and auxiliary areas of food processing units.
Recommended Environment: outdoor open air (in moderate climate conditions), premises with constant high humidity (restrooms, bathrooms, swimming pools, saunas), food processing units, enclosed office, residential, and commercial facilities.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for internal hydraulic pressure. It is strictly forbidden to use this pipe in pressurized main systems, water pipelines, and hydraulic circuits under pressure.
• Chemical Regime: despite the high corrosion resistance of AISI 304 steel, it is not recommended for use in highly aggressive chemical environments (concentrated acids, alkalis).
• Temperature Range: the product possesses exceptional resistance to sharp temperature fluctuations. The maximum continuous operating temperature is +600°C, the maximum short-term temperature is up to +850°C, and the minimum operating temperature reaches cryogenic -196°C.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original chrome shine of the 600 GRIT surface for a long time, mild soapy solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be applied. Cleaning is performed exclusively with a soft cloth (microfiber) or a soft foam sponge. The smooth surface is easily disinfected.
Prohibited Care Products and Methods:
The use of agents containing chlorine, active acids, as well as stiff metal brushes and any abrasive powders is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with these instructions instantly leads to the appearance of micro-scratches and irreversible dulling of the gloss.
The products are delivered in perfect commercial condition (new) and protected by a special polymer film, which completely eliminates the risk of mechanical damage and the formation of scuffs during transportation, warehouse storage, or installation work.
