Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between seamless and welded pipe for 304 stainless steel?
A: Seamless pipe is manufactured from a solid billet and has no weld seam, offering higher pressure resistance and uniformity. Welded pipe is formed from a coil and welded longitudinally, which is generally more economical but may have a weaker weld zone. For critical applications, seamless is preferred. -
Q: Can you supply pipes with a polished or pickled surface finish?
A: Yes, we offer mill finish, 180–320 grit polish, and pickled surface finishes. Please specify your requirement when ordering, and we will confirm availability. -
Q: What is the typical tolerance for outer diameter and wall thickness?
A: Our pipes are manufactured to ASTM A312 tolerances. For OD: ±0.5% to ±1% depending on size; for wall thickness: ±12.5% of nominal. Detailed tolerance tables are available upon request. -
Q: Do you provide third-party inspection or certification?
A: Yes, we can arrange third-party inspection (e.g., SGS, BV, TÜV) at the buyer’s cost. Mill test certificates are included with each shipment, and our ISO9001 certification ensures consistent quality. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, MOQ is typically 1 ton or 100 meters. For non-standard sizes or special finishes, please contact our sales team to discuss. -
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: For in-stock sizes, delivery is usually 7–15 days after payment. For customized orders, lead time is 15–30 days depending on quantity and specifications. -
Q: Can you supply pipes with threaded or beveled ends?
A: Yes, we can provide plain ends, beveled ends (for welding), or threaded ends (NPT/BSPT) as per your request. Please specify in your inquiry. -
Q: Is this pipe suitable for food processing or potable water?
A: Yes, 304 stainless steel is widely used in food processing, dairy, and potable water systems due to its corrosion resistance and non-toxic properties. However, we recommend verifying local regulations for specific applications.
