What Buyers Say

“Used 38.1mm (1.5”) tubing for my backyard pergola – survived three Canadian winters with zero rust!”

– Dave R., Ontario DIYer

“Perfect for my motorcycle exhaust project. The metric sizing made ordering from Germany a breeze.”

– Sophie L., Auto Enthusiast

FAQs

Q: How does 304 differ from 316L?

→ 316L adds molybdenum for saltwater/chemical resistance. Choose 316L for coastal or industrial use.

Q: Can I use a pipe bender on this tubing?

→ Yes! Use a manual tube bender for clean curves.

Q: Do you ship globally?

→ Yes – free shipping to the US/EU on orders over $200.

The pressures shown in the table above are calculated using Barlow's Formula and the following properties:
• material: 304
• yield strength (PSI): 30,000
• tensile strength (PSI): 75,000
Working Pressure = ¼ of Burst Pressure, these calculate from -20°F to 100°F.
