Stainless steel round pipe 20x2 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — a premium, heavy-duty structural metal product of precise gauge, made of high-alloy food-grade austenitic steel. The main feature of this profile is its thick wall: with a fixed outer diameter of 20 mm, the pipe has an increased wall thickness of 2.0 mm (the inner bore diameter is 16 mm). This configuration provides extreme indicators of mechanical rigidity, colossal resistance to bending, fracture, deformation, and high anti-vandal loads. The products are manufactured by welding using advanced TIG technology with complete technical cleaning and multi-stage mirror polishing of the outer weld to the highest roughness class of 600 GRIT (chrome, mirror, gloss). Finishing makes the weld visually and tactually imperceptible from the outside, guaranteeing flawless aesthetics and brilliance. The pipe is supplied in bars 6 meters long.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is made of classic food-grade stainless steel grade AISI 304, which is the closest analogue of the domestic alloy 08X18H10 and 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 plasticity, and strength. The AISI 304 alloy is absolutely inert, non-magnetic, resistant to oxidation, and demonstrates excellent weldability by standard methods. Production is strictly regulated by international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees the accuracy of geometric parameters, perfect 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), absolute resistance of AISI 304 steel to moisture, and an increased wall thickness of 2.0 mm makes this pipe a versatile premium material for architecture, design, the food industry, and engineering. It is ideally suited for manufacturing reliable railing and fencing systems, furniture elements for HoReCa, high-quality heated towel rails, professional equipment for showrooms, and commercial racks. In addition, thanks to the wall thickness of 2 mm, this model is a perfect blank for cutting internal or external threads, manufacturing barrel nipples, short threads, and threaded pipe nipples operated in difficult conditions.
Recommended environment: outdoor open air (in moderate climates), coastal areas, rooms with extreme humidity (bathrooms, restrooms, swimming pools, saunas), food blocks and professional kitchens, as well as industrial manufacturing, engineering, and machine building.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal roll and is not designed for internal pressure; therefore, it is categorically prohibited to use it in hydraulic systems and any pressurized main pipelines.
• Chemical regime: despite high anti-corrosion resistance, the pipe is not recommended for use in highly aggressive chemical environments (acidic or concentrated alkaline solutions).
• Temperature regime: AISI 304 steel grade features 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 changes is high.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original glossy brilliance of the 600 GRIT surface, mild soap solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be used. Cleaning is carried out 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 products 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, tarnishing of the gloss, and the appearance of scratches.
The products are delivered in proper commercial condition (new), in a protective polymer film, which minimizes the risk of accidental damage and scuffs during logistical operations, storage, and installation.
