The same 304 stainless steel pipe, why the price is high and low?

[guidebook] : 一般情况下，304不锈钢管的厚度与其带钢的压延有很大的关系，带钢的厚度越薄，一吨的压延加工成本就越高，这就导致了越薄的304不锈钢管的成本越高。

304 stainless steel pipe different quality

High-end 304 stainless steel pipe: raw materials from Baosteel, TISCO, Qingshan and other major steel mills, the element content is sufficient and evenly distributed; processing procedures are not missed, the detection is very strict, generally state-owned enterprise projects, exports and other high requirements of customer procurement.

Mid-range 304 stainless steel pipe: raw materials from medium-sized steel mills, elemental content is sufficient, the processing is not so strict, but can meet the mechanical properties.

Low-end 304 stainless steel pipe: raw materials from the furnace charge or small furnace charge, the production process "streamlined program", so it will be inexpensive.

The use of 304 stainless steel pipe scene

Bathroom, kitchen. Usually, the bathroom is more humid, the kitchen and more smoke. Therefore, these two places must use 304 stainless steel materials to ensure that stainless steel products do not rust.

High-rise building water supply. Ordinary high-rise building water supply system working pressure, and 304 stainless steel piping is easy to leak when subjected to external forces, is the material of high-rise building water supply system

Coastal zone. Because the coastal areas are windy and corrosive, the selection of stainless steel pipe must be 304 stainless steel pipe, with 201 stainless steel pipe will soon rust.

Other factors affecting the price of 304 stainless steel pipe

First, the complex calendering problem.

In general, the thickness of 304 stainless steel pipe has a great relationship with the calendering of its strip, the thinner the thickness of the strip, the higher the calendering processing cost of one ton.

Second, the difficulty of the finished product rate.

Each 304 stainless steel pipe manufacturer will generally produce some general 304 stainless steel pipe specifications for inventory use, this specification thickness of 304 stainless steel pipe in the pipe making and grinding and polishing when the yield is high, so it is easy to produce and manufacture. 304 stainless steel pipe cost is also lower.

Third, transportation challenges.

304 stainless steel pipe is thinner, whether it is the manufacturer's storage or transportation logistics, the depletion rate of 304 stainless steel pipe of thinner thickness is higher than that of pipe fittings of greater thickness.
