Stainless Steel Tube & Pipe

Polished stainless steel tubes and pipes offer excellent weldability as well as wear and corrosion resistance. This metal is known for its durability while also providing an attractive and easy-to-maintain surface.

Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy with a chromium content of at least 10.5%. It’s this addition of chromium that forms a self-renewing layer of chromium oxide on the surface when exposed to oxygen. This layer acts as a barrier protecting the underlying material from corrosive elements. Additional alloying elements are added depending on the grade. Polished stainless steel tubing is suitable for high-load structural applications in addition to decorative or architectural applications. It is frequently used in rails and ladders.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Tube & Pipe

High strength-to-weight ratio
Hygienic, easy-to-clean surface
Aesthetically appealing appearance
Resistant to high temperatures
Easily cut, formed, machined and welded

Bronze Tube & Pipe

Bronze pipes and tubes offer high strength and high wear resistance. Bronze is a metal alloy made of primarily copper. It creates an oxide layer protecting it from corrosion. But while other metals may patina over time, with frequent oiling and polishing, bronze can maintain its raw, pinkish finish. Bronze tube and piping is commonly used as window frames, trim, and rails.

Benefits of Bronze Tube & Pipe

Low friction
Oxidizing outer layer protects interior from corrosion
Cost-effectiveness
Resistance to corrosion and metal fatigue

Copper Tube & Pipe

Copper pipe and tubing are a reddish-gold color that can be polished to a bright finish. Over time they will form a greenish patina that protects the metal from corrosion. Copper is known for its low maintenance and durability. Copper pipe and tubing are used in architectural accents around the world. Prized for its green patina, it is frequently used in architectural exteriors. However, its antimicrobial properties also make it a great option for bathrooms and kitchens.
