Stainless steel round pipe 48.3 mm (600 GRIT) — a universal engineering standard of structural metal product of precise round gauge, designed for the creation of highly reliable frame, support, and architectural systems. Due to the optimized outer diameter of 48.3 mm, this profile features increased bending rigidity, excellent resistance to static and dynamic loads, and is a reference choice for load-bearing elements. 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 ensures flawless architectural aesthetics, reference gloss, and maximum surface smoothness, which significantly facilitates maintenance. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 m. Depending on specific project requirements, various wall thickness options (1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm) as well as a wide selection of steel grades for any operational tasks are available in our product range.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This structural profile can be manufactured from various grades of stainless steel, which allows choosing the optimal solution based on budget and technical conditions. The product range of the "Ukirs" company includes modifications in grades AISI 201, AISI 202, AISI 304, AISI 316, AISI 321, and AISI 430. This provides the possibility to choose between economical structural alloys and premium high-alloy grades resistant to extremely aggressive chemical environments, acids, high temperatures, or for use in shipbuilding.
Production is strictly regulated by leading international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe). This guarantees perfect geometric roundness of the product along the entire length of the bar, high calibration precision, and reliability of the weld joint. The country of origin of this series of metal products is Vietnam, whose factories are known for strict quality control and a reference level of factory surface polishing.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The outer diameter of 48.3 mm is a classic industrial standard for the manufacture of fencing system elements. The pipe is mass-used as a handrail pipe, and is also a base for the installation of support posts for railings, stairs, handrails, and specialized supports and holders for people with special needs. In addition to the architectural sector, the product is in demand in the food, chemical, oil and gas industries, power engineering, mechanical engineering, and commercial design (HoReCa furniture frames, commercial and exhibition equipment).
Key advantages of the metal product:
• Versatility and weldability: the metal is easily weldable and mechanically processable, which makes installation fast and convenient.
• High hygiene properties: the perfectly smooth mirror surface does not absorb odors, is easy to clean, and does not promote the reproduction of bacteria.
• Thermal resistance and strength: the structure withstands high mechanical loads and is resistant to significant temperature fluctuations.
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 and the type of weld joint, this pipe is strictly forbidden to be used as a main pipeline in systems under high hydrodynamic, steam, or any internal pressure.
• Dependence on Metal Grade: corrosion resistance and the possibility of outdoor use, as well as use in swimming pools or aggressive environments, directly depend on the selected steel grade (for example, for outdoor use and wet areas, a grade not lower than AISI 304 is recommended, and for chemical environments — AISI 316).
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 product) in a protective polymer film, which completely minimizes the risk of accidental damage, scratches, and scuffs during logistical operations, warehouse storage, and installation.
