The stainless steel strips all come from world-class steel enterprises. Each batch of raw materials must undergo three stringent tests: material testing, dimensional inspection, and appearance examination before being put into production. Each SS steel pipe is perfectly welded in an environment with internal and external gas protection using Lincoln and Panasonic welding machines imported from abroad. The pressure resistance of the pipes including SS 304 steel pipe, 310 SS pipe, SS 316 tube and SS 202 pipes far exceed national standards. Each stainless steel pipe undergoes a pickling and passivation process to ensure the formation of a rich chromium oxide film, guaranteeing the quality. The stainless steel pipes are divided into standard and thickened types, with wall thickness requirements higher than those of peers and exceeding national standards by 20%.

SS steel pipes are essential in various industrial applications due to their durability and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in construction, automotive, and plumbing sectors. For instance, 10mm SS pipes are ideal for precision tasks, while SS grooved pipes are perfect for easy installation in complex systems. 6 inches and above is suitable for the main pipeline of firefighting pipeline to ensure sufficient water flow and pressure. SS plumbing pipes ensure long-lasting and leak-free water supply systems. Competitive SS steel pipe prices make WEGS high-quality solutions accessible for many project needs.
1. Composition and Corrosion Resistance: SS 304 steel pipe contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offering good corrosion resistance suitable for most environments. On the other hand, pipe SS316 includes 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum, providing superior corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acids.
2. Common Applications: SS304 tubes are commonly used in kitchen equipment, storage tanks, and general piping due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. In contrast, SS316 pipes are preferred for marine environments, chemical processing, and medical devices because of their enhanced resistance to harsh conditions.
3. Thickness: SS 304 pipe thickness varies to meet different requirements, making it versatile for various stainless pipeline solutions. Pipe SS316 also comes in various thicknesses, often thicker for enhanced durability in extreme conditions.
4. Pricing: SS304 pipe price is generally more affordable, making it a cost-effective choice for many applications. The higher price of SS 316 pipes is due to the added molybdenum and enhanced properties, which justify the investment for critical applications.
5. Durability: SS 304 pipes are durable and long-lasting in standard environments, making them a popular choice for general use. SS 316 pipes offer extra durability, especially in harsh and corrosive environments, making them ideal for specialized applications.
As one of the leading 316/ SS 304 pipe manufacturers, WEGS ensures wide availability and competitive pricing. We have a range of sizes as the above chart shows to meet diverse project requirements.
Carbon steel pipes are mainly composed of iron and carbon, with high strength and hardness, but poor corrosion resistance and easy to rust. SS steel pipe such as 10mm SS tube contains elements such as chromium and nickel, which has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in humid and corrosive environments. SS tube has slightly lower strength, but its toughness and ductility are better, suitable for applications that require flexibility.
Carbon steel pipes are usually cheaper. Stainless steel pipes, especially SS316 pipe price, is a bit higher, but their long life and low maintenance cost may be more economical in long-term use.
In addition, stainless steel pipes such as SS 304 tube are more environmentally friendly, have a long life, their corrosion resistance reduces pollution to the environment, and can be fully recycled. However, carbon steel pipes may generate more environmental pollution during production and use, and their service life is relatively short.
