Our 304, 316, 316L and 2205 stainless steel welded pipes are manufactured for piping systems where durability, corrosion resistance and hygienic performance are essential. These ERW stainless steel pipes feature a BA bright annealed finish that provides a clean, smooth surface ideal for food processing, beverage production and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications.

Hygiene-sensitive industries demand piping materials that can withstand continuous operation, frequent washing, sterilization, and exposure to moisture and chemicals. Common issues with inadequate materials include:

• Corrosion during long-term operation
• Difficult cleaning and maintenance
• Surface contamination risks
• Reduced service life
• Welding and fabrication complications
• Dimensional inconsistencies
• Increased maintenance costs

Our stainless steel welded pipe range offers comprehensive configuration options to meet specific piping system requirements:

• 304 stainless steel - Practical corrosion resistance for general applications
• 316 and 316L - Enhanced corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• 2205 duplex stainless steel - Higher strength and superior corrosion resistance

Available options include ERW welded construction, BA bright annealed surface, multiple finish types, customized dimensions, and comprehensive processing services.

Food Processing Lines: 304 and 316L stainless steel pipes for equipment, liquid transportation, and production lines requiring corrosion resistance and cleanable surfaces.

Beverage Manufacturing: Stainless steel tubing for processing and liquid handling systems in humid operating environments.

Pharmaceutical Production: 316L stainless steel for biotechnology equipment requiring corrosion resistance and welded fabrication suitability.

Chemical Equipment: 316L, 2205 and higher-alloy stainless steels for chemical environments based on medium, concentration, and operating conditions.

1. Match Grade to Application: 304 for general use, 316/316L for chloride environments, 2205 for demanding mechanical and corrosion conditions.

2. Determine Pipe Structure: ERW welded pipe for most applications; seamless tubing where specified by engineering requirements.

3. Specify Dimensions: Provide required outer diameter, wall thickness, and length based on flow requirements, pressure, and installation conditions.

4. Select Surface Finish: BA for bright appearance, 2B for standard applications, No.4/HL for decorative surfaces, 8K for polished appearance.

5. Confirm Fabrication: Provide fabrication drawings or processing requirements for cutting and welding services.

Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316L stainless steel pipe?
A: Both are austenitic stainless steels, but 316L provides better corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, especially those involving chlorides.

Q: Is ERW stainless steel pipe suitable for food processing?
A: Yes, when material grade, welding quality, surface condition, and sanitary requirements meet project specifications.

Q: Why is BA finish used for stainless steel pipe?
A: Bright Annealed finish provides a bright, smooth surface ideal for applications where appearance, cleanliness, and surface quality are important.

Q: Can you manufacture customized stainless steel pipe?
A: Yes, we can customize grade, dimensions, surface finish, and processing requirements according to project needs.
