Stainless steel tube 8x1 mm AISI 304 (600 GRIT) — is a high-quality round structural metal product of precise calibration, manufactured from premium alloyed steel with superior anti-corrosion properties. The tube features an outer diameter of 8 mm, a wall thickness of 1.0 mm, and an inner diameter of 6 mm. The product is manufactured via advanced TIG welding technology with the external weld seam fully processed and mirror-polished to a high-grade 600 GRIT rating (chrome, high-gloss finish). The inner surface remains unpolished, and the weld seam itself is visually imperceptible from the outside due to the uniform final finish. The tubes are supplied in 6-meter lengths.
Material Specification and Standards
This profile is manufactured from high-alloy austenitic food-grade stainless steel AISI 304, which is a well-known analogue of the 08Х18Н10 alloy and the European standard EN 1.4301. This steel grade stands out due to its elevated chromium and nickel content, which provides excellent chemical resistance, durability, and environmental safety. Production strictly conforms to international engineering standards ASTM A-554 (USA) and EN 10296-2 (Europe), which guarantees flawless precision of geometric parameters and high reliability of the weld joint.
Scope of Application and Purpose
Due to the perfect mirror shine of its outer surface (600 GRIT), high strength, and exceptional oxidation resistance, this tube is widely used for the manufacturing of handrails, lightweight railings, modern furniture, interior and landscape decorative elements, commercial display engineering, medical equipment, as well as advertising structures and stands.
Recommended environment: office and shopping centers, outdoor applications (in moderate climates), and coastal regions. The profile is ideally suited for facilities with constant high humidity — swimming pools, saunas, bathrooms, and restrooms.
Technical and Operational Restrictions:
• Structural application only: this product belongs to the structural metal profile category and is not rated for internal pressure; therefore, it is strictly forbidden to use it in hydraulic systems or any pressure pipelines.
• Temperature range: the profile exhibits high resistance to extreme thermal fluctuations. The maximum continuous operating temperature is +600°C, the maximum short-term temperature is up to +850°C, and the minimum operating temperature reaches -196°C.
• Chemical restrictions: despite the high anti-corrosion resilience of AISI 304 steel, for long-term operation in aggressive chemical environments, industrial workshops with acid emissions, or direct contact with seawater, the acid-resistant AISI 316 grade is highly recommended.
Technical Recommendations for Mirror Surface Care
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
To maintain the original 600 GRIT high-gloss shine, mild soap solutions or specialized chlorine-free disinfectants should be applied. Cleaning must be carried out using only a soft cloth or a foam sponge.
Prohibited Maintenance Methods:
The use of products containing chlorine, active acids, abrasive powders, and stiff wire brushes is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with these guidelines results in permanent tarnishing and scratching of the mirror surface.
The products are supplied in brand-new commercial condition, wrapped in a protective polymer film to minimize the risk of accidental scratches during logistics, handling, and installation. Country of origin: China.
