Stainless steel round pipe 45x1.5 mm AISI 201 (600 GRIT) — a high-quality and cost-effective standard of structural metal product of precise round gauge. Due to the balanced combination of the outer diameter of 45 mm and the optimal wall thickness of 1.5 mm, this profile possesses high bending rigidity at a low specific weight, which allows the creation of durable yet lightweight frames. The inner through diameter of the pipe is 42 mm. The model is manufactured using advanced high-precision automatic TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) 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 allows combining flawless architectural aesthetics with high mechanical reliability, significantly optimizing the project budget without any compromises on appearance. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 m.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This lightweight profile is manufactured from high-strength alloyed chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steel grade AISI 201, which is a direct analogue of the 12X15Г9НД alloy according to GOST and the European standard EN 1.4372. Due to the optimized chemical composition with manganese and nitrogen content, this metal features increased surface hardness and excellent tensile strength. AISI 201 steel acts as a highly efficient and advantageous alternative to more expensive grades (such as AISI 304) in moderately aggressive environments. 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 reliability of the weld joint. The country of origin is Vietnam.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The combination of a 45 mm gauge, a 1.5 mm wall, and reference mirror gloss makes this pipe a high-demand material in construction, commercial design, and industry. It is mass-used for the installation of handrails, railings, light fencing systems, and interior decor elements. The profile is a basic standard for creating modern commercial, advertising, and exhibition equipment (stands, shelving systems), bar counters, as well as furniture frames for the HoReCa segment (cafes, bars, restaurants).
Automotive Engineering and Tuning: due to its flawless cross-sectional round geometry, light weight, and resistance to temperature fluctuations, this pipe is extremely popular in the manufacture of vehicle exhaust system elements (upgrading of exhaust tracts, mufflers, and decorative tips).
Recommended Environment: interiors of modern office and shopping complexes, large commercial halls, exhibition pavilions, residential premises, buildings with low or controlled humidity, as well as elements of passenger and commercial transport.
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 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.
• Humidity Regime: AISI 201 steel grade has limited corrosion resistance in aggressive zones. It is not intended for operation in environments with constantly high humidity, in open outdoor areas under long-term influence of atmospheric precipitation, as well as in direct contact with chemical alkalis, mineral acids, or chlorine-based compounds (for such conditions, AISI 304 or AISI 316 is recommended).
• Thermal Loads: the profile is designed for moderate thermal loads. The safe maximum continuous working temperature is +400°C. Maximum short-term thermal heating is allowed up to +550°C. The minimum operating temperature is -40°C. Resistance to temperature drops is medium.
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.
