Common types of stainless steel pipes currently available

When mentioning modern industry and decoration, stainless steel pipes always occupy an important position thanks to their superior features and diversity. In this article, we will learn about the common types of stainless steel pipes, classification methods, product specification tables of Son Ha SSP, as well as the closed production process that ensures high quality. The article not only helps you better understand the product but also provides useful information to choose the right type of stainless steel pipe for your needs.

1. Accurate Classification of Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless steel pipes are one of the most popular materials in industrial, construction, and decoration fields due to their corrosion resistance, high durability, and shiny appearance. Currently, the market has many different types of stainless steel pipes, suitable for each purpose. Specifically:

1.1. Classification of Stainless Steel Pipes by Shape

1.1.1. Round Stainless Steel Pipes

Round stainless steel pipes, also known as round stainless steel bars, are pipes with a hollow body and a characteristic round shape. With a durability that is 5-10% higher than other forms of stainless steel such as sheets, plates, or coils, along with a variety of thicknesses, round stainless steel pipes have become the top choice in piping systems in industry and civil works.

1.1.2. Stainless Steel Box Pipes

Square stainless steel pipes, also known as stainless steel box pipes, are made from stainless steel, with many sizes depending on the requirements of use. This box shape can be divided into square boxes and rectangular boxes.

Stainless steel box pipes bring a modern and solid beauty, so they are often used as door frames, fences, and handrails.

1.1.3. Solid Stainless Steel Pipes

Unlike conventional hollow stainless steel pipes, solid stainless steel pipes usually have a round bar shape with a solid core, made from many different steel grades such as stainless steel 304, stainless steel 201, etc. Possessing high durability and great load-bearing capacity, solid stainless steel is widely used, especially in the field of precision mechanical processing.

1.2. Classification of Stainless Steel Pipes by Grade

1.2.1. 304 Stainless Steel Pipes

304 stainless steel is the most common stainless steel in the world, consisting of main components including: 18-20% Chromium, 8-10.5% Nickel and low Carbon content, providing high durability and superior corrosion resistance, especially in humid or weak acid environments.

304 stainless steel has two main classifications: 304L stainless steel and 304H stainless steel. Not only outstanding for its shine and aesthetics, 304 stainless steel is also easy to process, making it an ideal choice in fields such as food production, medicine, and high-end construction projects.

1.2.2. 316 Stainless Steel Pipes

316 stainless steel with an additional 2-3% Molybdenum component is a superior choice thanks to its strong corrosion resistance, especially in seawater or chemical environments. This type of stainless steel is outstanding for its high durability, ability to withstand harsh conditions and highly corrosive chemical environments, even when exposed to chloride up to 1000mg/L at room temperature. Thanks to its outstanding advantages, the product is widely used in the maritime industry, coastal projects, and chemical plants.

1.2.3. 201 Stainless Steel Pipes

The 201 stainless steel line is designed with an optimal composition, using less Nickel and replacing it with Manganese, helping to significantly reduce costs. Although its corrosion resistance is not as high as 304 stainless steel, 201 stainless steel still maintains its beautiful shine and outstanding aesthetics.

Thanks to its affordable price and outstanding appearance features, this product is very suitable for applications in interior decoration and household appliance production.

1.3. Classification of Stainless Steel Pipes by Purpose

1.3.1. Industrial Stainless Steel Pipes

Industrial stainless steel pipes are one of the indispensable products in many manufacturing and machine manufacturing fields. Designed to meet strict requirements for durability and high pressure resistance, this type of pipe is often made from stainless steel grades with high hardness and stability, such as 304, 316 stainless steel. With superior corrosion resistance and ability to withstand harsh conditions, industrial stainless steel pipes ensure a long lifespan in working environments with many chemicals, high temperatures, or high pressures.

This product is widely used in the machine manufacturing industry, oil and gas pipeline systems; equipment such as presses, compressors, tanks, or parts of production systems that need to use this type of stainless steel pipe to ensure stable and safe operating performance.

1.3.2. Decorative Stainless Steel Pipes

With easy workability and a shiny appearance, decorative stainless steel pipes are mainly used in interior and exterior projects to create aesthetic highlights for the space. Decorative stainless steel pipes are often chosen to make handrails, stairs, gates, or decorative details in architecture. They not only bring luxury and modernity but also have superior durability, withstand weather impacts, and do not fade or rust over time.
