Stainless Steel Square Tube

Side length 10-200mm, Structural support / fluid transportation field

Our stainless steel square tube, made from 304 and 316L grades, is produced by cold-rolled or welded processes. Its hollow square shape provides strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for construction, piping, supports, and decorative use.

  • Structural Stability

    Compared to round tubes, the square profile offers 20–30% higher torsional resistance at equal wall thickness, supporting heavier lateral loads.

  • Corrosion Resistance Across Environments

    316L stainless steel square tube withstands up to 1,500 hours of salt spray (ASTM B117) testing, while 304 achieves 1,000 hours, ensuring reliability in coastal and chemical settings.

  • Customizable Options

    Available in welded or seamless forms, with adjustable wall thickness and edge dimensions. Interior and exterior polishing can be applied for hygienic or decorative requirements.

FAQs

What is a stainless steel square tube used for?
A stainless steel square tube is commonly used in structural frameworks, railings, piping systems, and decorative applications. Its square profile offers excellent load-bearing capacity and stability compared to round tubing.
What grades of stainless steel square tubing are available?
We supply stainless steel square tubes in 304 and 316L grades. 304 is the standard choice for general use, while 316L provides superior corrosion resistance for marine and chemical environments.
What surface finishes can I choose for stainless steel square tube?
Options include pickled (industrial), 2B (food-grade sanitary), and polished finishes (#4 brushed or #8 mirror), depending on structural, hygienic, or decorative needs.
What size range do you offer?
Our stainless steel square tube sizes range from 10 × 10 mm up to 200 × 200 mm, with wall thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 10 mm. Lengths are available in 3 m, 6 m, or custom cut up to 12 m.
Can stainless steel square tube be customized?
Yes. We offer welded and seamless options, cut-to-size services, interior and exterior polishing, and fabrication tailored to project requirements.
How does stainless steel square tubing perform in corrosion resistance?
304 stainless steel square tube withstands up to 1,000 hours of salt spray testing, while 316L endures up to 1,500 hours, making both suitable for outdoor, marine, and chemical industry applications.
Is stainless steel square tubing food-safe?
Yes. 304 stainless steel square tube with electropolished interior meets FDA food contact standards and is widely used in food and beverage piping systems.
