Stainless steel round pipe 20x1.5 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — premium high-strength structural metal product of precise gauge, made of high-alloy food-grade austenitic steel. The product has a fixed outer diameter of 20 mm, a thickened wall of 1.5 mm, and an inner nominal diameter of 17 mm. Due to the increased wall thickness (1.5 mm), this profile features high mechanical rigidity, excellent resistance to bending, deformation, and anti-vandal loads. The production is carried out by welding 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). The finish processing makes the weld visually and tactically imperceptible from the outside, guaranteeing flawless aesthetics and 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 of AISI 304 grade, which is the closest analogue of the domestic 08Х18Н10 alloy and the European standard EN 1.4301. Due to the high content of chromium (18%) and nickel (10%), this metal possesses unique chemical resistance, anti-corrosion durability, high ductility, and strength. The AISI 304 alloy is absolutely inert, non-magnetic, and demonstrates excellent weldability using standard methods. Production is strictly regulated by international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees strict compliance with geometric parameters, correct roundness, and maximum reliability of the welded joint. Country of origin — China.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The combination of a flawless mirror surface (600 GRIT), the resistance of AISI 304 steel to moisture, and a thickened wall of 1.5 mm makes this pipe a versatile premium-class material for architecture, design, and mechanical engineering. It is ideally suited for the manufacture of reliable railing systems and fences (as a railing pipe and handrail), high-quality heated towel rails, professional sports equipment, exercise machines, as well as premium commercial equipment and exhibition stands for showrooms.
Recommended Environment: open outdoor air (under moderate climate conditions), zones with high humidity (bathrooms, restrooms, swimming pools, saunas), coastal areas, as well as industrial production, machinery, and mechanical engineering.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products and is not designed for internal pressure, therefore it is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems and any pressurized main pipelines.
• Chemical Regime: despite its high anti-corrosion resistance, the pipe is not recommended for use in highly aggressive chemical environments (acidic or concentrated alkaline solutions).
• Temperature Range: AISI 304 steel grade is distinguished by extreme temperature resistance. 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. Resistance to sharp temperature fluctuations 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 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 protective layer, dulling of the gloss, and the appearance of scratches.
The products are delivered in proper commercial condition (new) and protected by a special polymer film, which minimizes the risk of accidental damage and scuffs during logistical operations, storage, and installation.
