Stainless Steel Tube
Stainless Steel has inherrent characteristics that lend themselves to applications that require tubular sections:
- Resistant to corrosion
- Reduced oxidation
- Resists high temperatures
- Low maintenance costs
- Very low risk of contamination
Various forms of stainless tube are available and can be cut-to-length service, utilising our in-house processing facilities. Available forms are:
Ornamental
Ornamental stainless tube is a welded product and is therefore not suitable for anything more than minimal bending.
Typical applications include:
- Boats - ladders, railings, awning poles
- Decorative Fixings
- Exhaust Systems
- Ornamental tube is available in grades 304 and 316 and can have a brushed, dull polished or bright polished finish.
Hygienic
Hygienic stainless steel tube is a welded product that has had the internal weld bead removed to reduce the risk of contamination, and is more suitable for bending than Ornamental Tube. Typical apllications are:
- Dairy
- Brewery
- Food processing
Hygienic tube is available in grades 304 and 316 and can have a brushed, dull polished or bright polished finish.
Handrailing
Stainless Steel Handrailing Tube is a welded product and is available with an outside diameter of either 42.4mm or 48.3mm and with a wall thickness of 2mm and 2.5mm.
* Please note: our own Handrailing System is designed to work with 2mm wall thickness. *
Typical Applications are:
- Balconies
- Balustrading
- Stair railing
Various infills are suitable for this product:
- glass
- wire rope
- stainless steel mesh
- stainless steel perforated sheet

Handrailing tube is available in grades 304 and 316 and can have a brushed, dull polished or bright polished finish.
In addition we offer pre-fabricated upright posts for our Handrailing System.
Seamless
Stainless Steel Seamless Tube has no weld and is therefore more suitable for applications that involve high pressure, for example:
Heat exchangers
Pressure Vessels
Chemical works
Seamless tube is available in grades 304, 316 and 321 and can have a descaled or bright annealed finish.
