An SS (Stainless Steel) Square Pipe, or Square Hollow Section (SHS), is a strong, corrosion-resistant structural tube with a square cross-section, available in various steel grades (like 304, 316) and finishes, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio for decorative, architectural, and construction uses, from handrails to building frameworks, handling high temperatures and corrosive environments effectively. Key Characteristics:

• Material: Primarily stainless steel, with common grades being 304 (cost-effective, good strength) and 316 (enhanced corrosion resistance due to molybdenum, ideal for harsh conditions).
• Shape: A hollow square profile, providing geometric strength and aesthetic appeal.
• Properties: High tensile strength, good ductility, excellent corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
• Finishes: Available in polished (satin, mirror) or mill finishes, resistant to corrosion build-up. 

Common Grades & Applications:

• SS 304: Most common, cost-effective, used in kitchens, furniture, architectural supports, and general construction.
• SS 316: Superior corrosion resistance, used in marine, chemical, and high-chloride environments, and high-temp services.
• Other Grades: 201, 304L, 316L, 317L, 409, 410, 430 for specific industrial demands. 

Uses:

• Construction: Structural supports, beams, columns, staircases, railings, window/door frames.
• Architectural: Decorative elements, modern furniture, signage, and fixtures.
• Industrial: Machinery, chemical plants, food processing equipment, and automotive parts. 

Specifications:

• Sizes: Comes in various dimensions, e.g., 12.75x12.75mm up to 100x100mm (and larger).
• Standards: Conforms to ASTM (e.g., A554, A312) and other international standards.
