Stainless steel round pipe 76.1x1.5 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — is a premium, lightweight, and highly durable element of large-diameter structural rolled metal. The product has a precise outer diameter of 76.1 mm and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm, providing an inner through diameter of 73.1 mm. Due to this engineering ratio, the pipe combines high bending and torsional stiffness with minimum dead weight, which reduces the load on supporting nodes and significantly simplifies installation work. The profile is manufactured using advanced automatic TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding technology in an inert gas environment, which guarantees 100% monolithicity, absolute tightness, and visual invisibility of the welded joint. The seam is located strictly inside the product, and the entire outer surface of the bar undergoes premium multi-stage processing with ultra-fine abrasives to achieve the highest roughness class of 600 GRIT. It acquires a flawless mirror shine (chrome effect) that does not fade over time, prevents the retention of dirt and bacteria, and is as simple to maintain as possible. The pipe is supplied in standard bars with a length of 6 m.
Material of Manufacture and Standards
This round profile is manufactured from high-quality austenitic food-grade stainless steel grade AISI 304 (well-known domestic analogue is 08Х18Н10, European standard is EN 1.4301). The high content of chromium (from 18%) and nickel (from 8-10%) ensures the formation of a stable, self-healing protective oxide layer on the metal surface. Due to this, AISI 304 steel has excellent resistance to intergranular and pitting corrosion, and does not react with food products or water. Production of the rolled products is strictly regulated by international standards ASTM A-554 (USA) for structural pipes and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees perfect calibrated geometry and wall thickness stability along the entire length. The country of origin of the products is Vietnam.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to its large cross-section of 76.1 mm, flawless mirror polishing of 600 GRIT, and maximum resistance of premium AISI 304 steel to aggressive atmospheric influences, this pipe is a high-demand material for outdoor work, urban infrastructure, and specialized transport.
Urban Infrastructure, Security, and Landscaping: construction of reliable and aesthetically attractive anti-vandal sidewalk and anti-parking bollards, traffic restrictors, removable parking barriers, and road fences. The profile is ideally suited for the manufacturing of outdoor flagpoles, masts, brackets, and decorative banner stands that are constantly subjected to wind and atmospheric loads.
Automotive Transport and Protective Kits: design, modernization, and assembly of elements of protective structural body kits for SUVs, crossovers, and commercial vehicles (bull bars, protective bars, front bumper guards, side running boards). AISI 304 steel is completely resistant to winter road re-agents, salts, and dirt.
Construction and Architecture (Outdoor and Wet Zones): installation of durable staircases, handrails, large-diameter heavy-duty fences, entrance groups, and decorative-functional elements in the open air, as well as in areas with constant high humidity — swimming pools, saunas, bathrooms, and showers.
Food Industry and Non-Pressure Networks: erection of auxiliary metal structures in food blocks, at public catering establishments, in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as laying internal technical non-pressure pipelines for transporting substances without high pressure.
Technical and Operational Limitations:
• Structural Purpose: the product belongs to the category of structural stainless steel rolled products (standard ASTM A-554). Due to the specific nature of the structural TIG weld seam type, this pipe is categorically forbidden to be used as a high-pressure main pipeline in pressure engineering networks.
• Environmental and Chemical Mode: despite the high corrosion resistance of AISI 304 steel, it is not recommended for use in highly aggressive chemical environments (concentrated acids, alkalis). There are no restrictions for standard outdoor environments, coastal areas, and swimming pools.
• Thermal Loads: the profile has high resistance to extreme temperature changes. The safe operation range is from cryogenic -196°C to a maximum continuous operating temperature of +600°C (short-term peak heating is allowed up to +850°C).
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To preserve the original chromed shine of the 600 GRIT coating, mild soapy solutions or specialized disinfectants without free chlorine should be used. Cleaning is performed using a soft cloth (microfiber) or a foam sponge, which effectively remove dust, light dirt, and hand traces.
Prohibited Care Products:
It is categorically forbidden to use cleaning agents based on chlorine, active mineral acids, as well as any abrasive powders, stiff metal brushes, or scourers. Abrasives leave micro-scratches on the gloss, which irreversibly destroys the mirror effect and reduces the protective properties of the metal's surface layer.
The products are delivered in perfect commercial condition (new). Each bar is supplied in a protective polymer film, which completely guarantees the preservation of the mirror surface against scuffs, scratches, and accidental damage during logistics, loading and unloading operations, and installation.
