Stainless Steel Sanitary Tube 304 1.5 Inch OD 20 Gauge Polished Inner Diameter
Product Spotlights
Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd., established in 2025 with an annual export value exceeding US$50 million and a dedicated team of 51–100 professionals, is proud to introduce our premium Stainless Steel Sanitary Tube 304 1.5 Inch OD 20 Gauge Polished Inner Diameter. This tubing is engineered for the most demanding sanitary applications in food processing, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, combining superior corrosion resistance with an ultra-smooth internal finish that prevents bacterial growth and product contamination. Our commitment to quality is backed by ISO9001 certification, ensuring every tube meets stringent international standards.
Crafted from high-grade 304 stainless steel, this sanitary tube features an outer diameter of exactly 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) with a 20 gauge wall thickness (0.035 inch / 0.89 mm). The interior surface is mechanically polished to a roughness average (Ra) of ≤ 0.8 μm, providing excellent cleanability and resistance to fouling. Ideal for transfer lines, heat exchangers, and storage tanks, it delivers consistent performance under both high-temperature and corrosive environments.
