Stainless steel round pipe 42.4x1.2 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — a premium lightweight structural metal product of precise round gauge, manufactured from high-quality food-grade stainless steel. The combination of the demanded outer diameter of 42.4 mm and a wall thickness of 1.2 mm makes this profile an ideal choice for creating light yet exceptionally strong fencing and decorative systems. The anatomically correct grip for a palm is combined here with a significant reduction in the overall weight of the metal structure without losing rigidity on long spans, while the inner through diameter is exactly 40 mm. The model features absolute compatibility with standard fittings and connecting elements of 42 mm gauge. The profile is manufactured using advanced high-precision automatic TIG welding technology. The weld joint is located inside the product, and the outside is subjected to multi-stage mirror polishing with ultra-fine abrasives to the highest roughness class of 600 GRIT (chrome, mirror, gloss). This guarantees flawless architectural aesthetics, reference hygiene, and a premium reflective shine for the product, which does not fade under the influence of atmospheric factors. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 m.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This thin-walled profile is manufactured from austenitic alloyed stainless steel grade AISI 304, which is a direct reference analog of the alloy 08X18N10 according to GOST and the European standard EN 1.4301. Due to the high content of chromium (from 18%) and nickel, this metal possesses a colossal level of passive protection, which ensures flawless resistance to moisture, aggressive chemical compounds, and extreme thermal loads. Production is strictly regulated by leading international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees perfect geometric roundness of the product, stable dimensional precision along the entire length of the bar, and maximum strength of the weld joint at the molecular level. The country of origin for this series of metal products is Vietnam, whose plants are known for strict quality control and a reference level of factory surface polishing.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to the absolute anti-corrosion resistance of AISI 304 steel, this light mirror pipe is a universal material for objects of increased complexity. It is mass-used for the installation of railing systems, stairs, and fences outdoors in moderate climate conditions, in coastal zones, swimming pools, saunas, bathrooms, restrooms, as well as for specialized handrails and holders for people with special needs. The model is a basic standard for the interiors and exteriors of modern office and shopping malls, exhibition halls, commercial equipment, the manufacture of premium-class furniture, elements of water transport, objects of technology, and mechanical engineering.
Recommended Environment: open air (street in moderate climate conditions), coastal and marine zones, premises with constantly high humidity (swimming pools, saunas, shower rooms, restrooms), interiors of large shopping complexes, exhibition stands, objects of water and land transport, technology and mechanical engineering.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural metal products (ASTM A-554) and has a hollow structure. Due to the wall thickness of 1.2 mm and the specifics of its purpose, this pipe is strictly forbidden to be used as a main pipeline in systems under high hydrodynamic, steam, or any internal pressure.
• Chemical Specification: despite the premium anti-corrosion properties of the AISI 304 grade, its operation is not recommended in highly aggressive environments (concentrated mineral acids, high-concentration industrial chemical solutions).
• Temperature Regime: the profile has exceptional resistance to sharp temperature fluctuations. The safe maximum continuous operating temperature is +600°C. Maximum short-term thermal heating is allowed up to +850°C. The minimum operating temperature of exploitation is -196°C, which allows using the pipe in deep-freezing conditions.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original reference glossy shine of the 600 GRIT surface, mild soapy solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be used. Cleaning is performed exclusively with a soft cloth (microfiber) or a foam sponge, which easily remove dust and traces of touch.
Prohibited Care Products:
It is not allowed to use agents containing chlorine, active acids, as well as abrasive powders and stiff metal brushes or scourers. Failure to comply with these rules leads to micro-damage of the passive protective layer of the product, the appearance of scratches, and rapid dulling of the gloss.
The products are delivered in proper commercial condition (new) in a protective polymer film, which completely minimizes the risk of accidental damage, scratches, and scuffs during logistical operations, warehouse storage, and installation.
