Stainless steel round pipe 21.3x3 mm AISI 201 (600 GRIT) — an ultra-high-strength round structural metal product of precise gauge, made of alloyed austenitic steel. The main structural feature of the product is its extreme wall thickness: with a fixed outer diameter of 21.3 mm, the pipe has a maximum wall thickness of 3.0 mm (the inner through-diameter is 15.3 mm). This unique configuration provides the highest indicators of mechanical rigidity, colossal resistance to bending, fracture, and deformation, making it the best choice for elements with increased anti-vandal, impact, and load-bearing loads. The products are manufactured by welding using advanced TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) technology with complete technical cleaning and multi-stage mirror polishing of the outer weld and the outer surface 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 of the product. The pipe is supplied in bars 6 meters long.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is made of high-quality stainless steel grade AISI 201, which acts as a highly effective and cost-efficient analogue of the domestic alloy 12X15G9ND and the European standard EN 1.4372. Due to the balanced alloying with manganese, nitrogen, and nickel, this metal has increased mechanical strength, hardness, and excellent plasticity during machining. The AISI 201 modification demonstrates excellent wear resistance in moderate (non-aggressive) environments and is more affordable compared to high-nickel grades. Production is strictly regulated by leading international engineering institutes and fully complies with ASTM A-554 (USA) standards for structural pipes and EN 10296-2 (Europe). This guarantees perfect roundness, accuracy of geometric parameters, and maximum reliability of the welded joint along the entire length. Country of origin — Vietnam.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The combination of a flawless mirror gloss (600 GRIT) and extreme load-bearing capacity due to the thick 3.0 mm wall makes the 21.3 mm diameter pipe a versatile premium-class material for design, construction, and engineering. Due to the solid wall thickness, this model is a perfect blank for cutting deep internal or external threads, manufacturing strong barrel nipples, short threads, threaded pipe nipples, and reliable threaded connections operated in difficult conditions. It is also widely used for manufacturing reliable railing systems, protective guards, heated towel rails, elements of modern furniture for HoReCa, stable bar counters, as well as commercial and medical equipment, and auxiliary units in machine building.
Recommended environment: enclosed spaces with low and normal humidity levels, offices, residential and shopping centers, exhibition halls, showrooms, industrial enterprises, as well as objects of technology and machine building (for moderate, non-aggressive environments).
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal roll and is not designed for internal hydraulic pressure; therefore, it is categorically prohibited to use it in pressurized main pipelines and high-pressure hydraulic systems.
• Humidity and chemical regime: AISI 201 steel grade is less resistant to chlorides and concentrated acids. It is not intended for operation in environments with constant high humidity; therefore, it is not recommended for use in swimming pools, saunas, or outdoors, as well as in highly aggressive chemical environments.
• Temperature regime: the maximum continuous operating temperature is +400°C, the maximum short-term temperature is up to +550°C, and the minimum operating temperature is -40°C. Resistance to sudden temperature changes is moderate.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original chrome brilliance of the 600 GRIT surface for a long time, mild soap solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be used. Cleaning is carried out exclusively with a soft cloth (microfiber) or a soft foam sponge, which easily removes dust and contaminants from the smooth surface.
Prohibited Care Products and Methods:
It is categorically prohibited to use products containing chlorine, active acids, as well as stiff metal brushes and any abrasive powders. Failure to comply with these rules leads to damage to the protective layer, the appearance of micro-scratches, and irreversible tarnishing of the mirror gloss.
The products are delivered in proper commercial condition (new) and are protected by a special polymer film, which completely minimizes the risk of accidental damage, scratches, and the formation of scuffs during logistical operations, storage in the warehouse, or installation.
