An "SS" (Stainless Steel) rectangular pipe is a strong, hollow structural section (HSS) with a rectangular cross-section, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and versatility in construction, architectural, and industrial uses, offering high strength and easy fabrication for structural framing, fencing, and decorative applications. Key Features & Description
- Material: Made from stainless steel alloys (like Grades 201, 304, 316), offering superior resistance to rust, heat, and chemical corrosion.
- Shape: Hollow, with a rectangular profile, providing high strength and stability.
- Strength: High structural integrity, making it suitable for load-bearing applications, often referred to as "hollow sections" in construction.
- Finish: Available in various finishes, including polished (grit 120-600), for aesthetic appeal.
- Fabrication: Easy to cut, bend, weld, and join, supporting annealing and pitting processes.
Common Uses
- Construction: Building frames, supports, architectural features.
- Industrial: Equipment frames, automation, cooling circuits, chemical processing.
- Infrastructure: Fencing, gates, signage, display systems.
How it's Specified
- Dimensions: By outside width (W), height (H), and wall thickness (T).
- Grades: By stainless steel grade (e.g., 304, 316) and standards (e.g., ASTM A312).
