Product Information

has much better corrosion resistance and is the grade recommended for marine environments or coastal applications.

Pre-coned tube lengths of hardened or annealed tubing are available from 2 to 120 in. (5 to 305 cm) in length. Tube lengths are precisely coned with a high-quality finish. Specifications Material This tube is produced by the helical forming and automatic welding of a continuous strip of stainless steel. If you are welding or adapting a system, you may want to opt for brass fittings instead. Are stainless steel compression fittings ok for domestic use?

Wide choice of dimensions and free cutting

We offer our range of stainless-steel tube (or pipe, pole, piping, tubing, as it is also often referred to as) in steel grades 304 and 316. The typical silvery shimmer of stainless steel is highly regarded in architectural applications. It’s aesthetic appeal is cause for its frequent application in interior and exterior design.

Stainless tubular and pipe products available in our online shop include nominal bore pipe (along with a complimentary range of butt weld fittings and flanges), square and rectangular hollow sections, hygienic tubes, metric tubes and handrails. Our tubes and pipes are available in either seamless or welded with various mill finishes.

This tubing is ultrahigh-purity, coaxial, chemically cleaned and passivated, and thermocouple-cleaned 316L stainless steel available in size: 1/8 to 2 in and 6 to 18 mm. The tube ends are prepared for orbital welding. 304/304L Welded Tubing Specifications Materials The choice between seamless and welded stainless tube is dependent on the particular application and purpose of the end product. Each manufacturing method provides tubing with different beneficial characteristics. Seamless tubes tend to be more light weight with thinner walls, while welded tubes are heavier, more rigid and therefore typically straighter. Which industries utilise stainless steel tubes in their manufacture? is the most used standard commercial grade as it has good corrosion resistance and good machinability. These fittings are advantageous if you’re familiar with using compression fittings. Because they’re typically used in low-pressure systems and tend not to require a user to do any soldering/welding, they’re suitable for domestic use.

Stainless steel tubes are available in welded or seamless. Where the presence or absence of a seam determines the relative manufacturing process. Primary material used in the production of welded stainless pipes are previously hot/cold rolled sheets and plates. These more workable primary products have their edges heated and then pressed together using a series of rollers. Our stainless steel studding threads include bars of 8mm or 10mm in diameter. Most options come in 1 m length. Stainless Steels are typically divided into five families (austenitic, martensitic, ferritic, precipitation hardening and duplex). Within these families over 250 different grades of stainless steel exist. The characteristics of a stainless pipe are determined by its relative family, grade and chemical composition. Where the chemical composition can be manipulated in such a way that desirable characteristics are reinforced depending on applicability. Factors that can be altered this way include mechanical, physical, thermal and anti-corrosive qualities. Generally stainless tubes are corrosion and thus weather resistant, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Resistance is built when 10.5% of chromium inherent to all stainless steels reacts with the surrounding atmosphere forming a thin protective layer on the tubes surface.

The tube is produced by drawing through a hardened steel or tungsten carbide die, at room temperature. The purpose of cold drawing is to reduce the OD or wall or both, to produce a smooth surface finish and to break up the weld structure, which results in recrystallisation when annealed. IPT series tubing is 316 stainless steel with working pressures up to 20 000 psig (1378 bar) for use with medium-pressure fittings, as well as high-pressure tubing rated up to 60 000 psig (4134 bar) for use in high-pressure applications. Medium-Pressure Tubing—FK Series This tube at the point of manufacture goes through a process where the internal weld bead is rolled. The result is an improved internal finish along the weld, reducing the chance of a crevice where liquid or food product may be trapped. This assists with ‘clean in place’ (CIP) environment food and beverage process lines or other applications such as the pharmaceutical industry.

Swagelok electric-traced bundled tubing maintains consistent temperatures in long, continuous lengths of impulse and sample lines for freeze protection, temperature maintenance up to 250°F (121°C), or viscosity control Steam-Traced Tubing This tube is typically destined for heat exchanger applications and is produced in a similar way to AWA product except that the internal bead is rolled flush with the inside tube surface prior to annealing. Although harder to machine than grade 304, the increased corrosion resistance of grade 316 makes it ideal for tough environments, such as marine, coastal and heavily industrialised areas. Wide choice of dimensions and free cutting Due to their versatile nature stainless tubes are widely applicable ranging from manufacturing to household purposes. Perhaps the most common application are stainless tubes as conduit pipes. At The Metal Store, we offer an extensive range of stainless steel tube (or pipe) products in grades 304 and 316, as well as stainless steel tubes for tube clamps in grade 304.The manufacturing process of seamless tubes has been subject to change throughout history. Previously, seamless pipes were manufactured by drilling a hole through a solid steel rod. The rod was then drawn for elongation leaving an uneven sometimes off-centre tube. Hence, nowadays seamless tube is manufactured using a bullet shaped piercer which is gradually pushed through the centre of a heated billet while continuously rolled. This method produces a more even, reliable end product. Metal Supplies™ supply metal tube products to locations throughout the UK and Europe. We are a leading provider of metal and metal services to both commercial and domestic customers, including a comprehensive range of stainless steel products.
