Stainless Steel 304 Tubes are tubular products made from austenitic SS 304 alloy containing chromium and nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and formability. They are widely used in industries such as food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, construction, and heat exchangers due to their ability to withstand oxidation, moisture, and moderate temperatures while maintaining strength and a clean surface finish.
Solitaire Overseas is a leading manufacturer of quality Stainless Steel 304 tubes. Although SS 304 is highly resistant, it has certain boundaries: in high temperature (and high base) settings, such as sodium hydroxide, the metal may be etched or cracked- particularly when chlorides such as sodium hypochlorite are used. Nevertheless, it is still a leading option to a majority of high temperature and water-based applications. Particularly, SS 304L tubes are the most appropriate material for desalination plants since they can accommodate corrosive water making large-scale infrastructure more cost-effective to build.
When working with 304 SS welded tubes, we recommend using matching filler metals during the welding process to ensure the joints maintain the same mechanical strength and corrosion resistance as the base metal. If you are performing bending operations on 304 ERW tubes, note that they require slightly more force than standard austenitic steels. Because of their chemical stability, Stainless Steel 304 round tubes are also a standard choice for the safe storage and transport of acetic acid.
At Solitaire Overseas, you can choose the appropriate 304 grade at the best price in India, with the confidence that all products comply with ISO quality standards. While these tubes are commonly used for structural support, SS 304 hollow tubes are essential for conveying elements like oil, gas, water, and steam. Their high tensile strength and durability also make them ideal for manufacturing high-end mechanical engineering parts and specialized components for the defense industry.
Our complete range of ASTM A249 TP304 products is engineered for longevity, featuring accurate dimensions and high wear resistance. We offer various specialized forms to meet modern technology standards, including 304 electropolished tubes, capillary tubes, coiled tubing, and SS 304 EFW tubes. Whether your priority is a low carbon footprint or a clean aesthetic appearance for architectural projects, our manufacturing process ensures a premium finish that meets international requirements.

The precise chemical balance of SS 304 is what gives it its unique properties.
| Element | Carbon (C) | Chromium (Cr) | Nickel (Ni) | Manganese (Mn) | Silicon (Si) | Phosphorus (P) | Sulfur (S) | Iron (Fe) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Content (%) | ≤ 0.08 | 18.0 - 20.0 | 8.0 - 10.5 | ≤ 2.0 | ≤ 0.75 | ≤ 0.045 | ≤ 0.030 | Balance |
The high content of chromium and nickel is vital for forming the corrosion-resistant passive layer and for stabilizing the austenitic microstructure. This balance is critical for the performance of every 304 stainless steel tube.

Contact UsSS 304 tubes come in a variety of outside diameters and wall thicknesses, ranging from small tubes (around 6 mm OD) to larger industrial sizes (over 200 mm OD). Both seamless and welded tubes are available depending on the application.
Seamless tubes are preferred for high-pressure and critical applications due to their strength, while welded tubes are cost-effective for general industrial and structural use.
The price of SS 304 tubes depends on factors such as tube diameter, wall thickness, length, finish, and whether it is seamless or welded. Market fluctuations in stainless steel raw materials can also influence pricing.
Choose the size based on flow requirements, mechanical load, pressure, and installation constraints. Smaller diameters are ideal for precision applications, while larger diameters are suited for industrial piping and structural support.
