Stainless steel round pipe 48.3x1.5 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — a premium engineering standard of structural metal product of precise round gauge, designed for the creation of highly reliable, durable, and architecturally flawless frame systems. The optimal ratio of the outer diameter of 48.3 mm and the wall thickness of 1.5 mm provides the structures with reference bending rigidity while maintaining the lightness of the profile. The inner through diameter of the pipe is 45.3 mm. The profile 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 mirror gloss, maximum surface smoothness, and excellent aesthetic appearance. The pipe is supplied in bars with a length of 6 m.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This profile is manufactured from high-quality alloyed austenitic food-grade stainless steel grade AISI 304 (18/8 class, containing 18% chromium and 8–10% nickel). It is a direct analogue of the 08Х18Н10 alloy according to GOST and the European standard EN 1.4301. Due to the high content of nickel and chromium, this metal features outstanding resistance to oxidation, prolonged exposure to moisture, and aggressive chemical substances, which guarantees maximum service life. 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 is Vietnam, whose factories are known for strict quality control.
Scope of Application and Purpose
The 48.3 mm gauge with a 1.5 mm wall in AISI 304 grade is a first-class industrial standard for the manufacture of fencing system elements. The pipe is mass-used for the installation of railings, stairs, handrails, support posts, as well as specialized holders and structures for people with special needs. Due to its perfect corrosion resistance, the product is designed for long-term operation in areas with high humidity and outdoors.
Wide Range of Industrial Applications: the profile is in demand in automotive engineering and tuning (upgrading and assembling heat-resistant elements of exhaust systems and mufflers), in commercial design, manufacture of bar counters, furniture, and commercial exhibition equipment for the premium HoReCa segment (cafes, bars, restaurants).
Recommended Environment: open air (outdoors in moderate climate conditions), coastal zones, premises with constant high humidity (swimming pools, saunas, showers, bathrooms, restrooms), auxiliary structures in food blocks, as well as engineering nodes in mechanical engineering and specialized equipment.
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.
• Chemical Limitations: despite the high corrosion resistance of AISI 304 steel, it is not recommended for use in highly aggressive acidic or industrial chemical environments (for such tasks, AISI 316 grade should be used).
• Thermal Loads: the profile features high resistance to extreme thermal drops. The safe maximum continuous working temperature is +600°C. Maximum short-term thermal heating is allowed up to +850°C. The minimum critical operating temperature is -196°C.
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. The smooth surface of AISI 304 steel prevents the accumulation of bacteria.
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.
