What is Stainless Steel Tubing?

Stainless Steel Tube is a tubular or hollow cylinder used to convey substances that can flow like liquids or gases. Tube is measured by the outside diameter and a specific wall thickness. Some examples of wall thickness are schedule .035, .049, .065 and even .120 wall. Stainless steel tube also comes in either welded or seamless construction. The seamless stainless steel tube allows for higher pressure applications and ease of flaring.

Common Applications

Stainless Steel Tube is widely used because it can be manufactured in an extensive range of sizes and wall thicknesses. From very small hypodermic needles up to aircraft and rocket engines and everything in between. Stainless steel tube is used for moving fluids on an aircraft like fuel or hydraulic fluids but can also be used in food processing to move product around the plant. Stainless steel tube has a variety of applications and is used in almost every industry.

Benefits Of Stainless Steel Tubing

Stainless Steel Tube is known for its corrosion resistance. By using 304/304L you get a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. In a salt environment for example you would want to use 316 stainless steel because it has 2-3% molybdenum content which makes it more corrosion resistant than 304/304L. In high temperature conditions you would want to use 321 stainless steel tube for its thermal properties.
