Supplying the construction, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries, Weston Stainless promises reliability, innovation, and customer satisfaction, making them a go-to supplier for stainless steel tubing in the UK.
Stainless steel tubing consists mainly of iron, with chromium (10.5% or more) for resistance to corrosion, and can have nickel, molybdenum, and carbon added for improved properties. It has very good strength, durability, and oxidation and corrosion resistance. Its mechanical properties are high tensile strength (up to 750 MPa), good elongation and impact resistance, which make it suitable for structural and fluid transport applications. Its flexibility and dependability render it appropriate for applications such as automotive parts, aerospace, healthcare and food processing.

Common grades of stainless steel used in tubing include 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. Grade 304 is widely used for general purposes, while 316 offers better corrosion resistance, especially in marine or chemical environments. Low-carbon versions (304L and 316L) are ideal for welding applications.
Welded stainless steel tubing is made by rolling and welding a strip of steel, leaving a visible seam, and is generally more cost-effective. Seamless tubing is manufactured without a weld, offering higher strength, uniformity, and better corrosion resistance. Seamless tubes are preferred for high-pressure or critical applications.
Yes, stainless steel tubing can be used for high-pressure and high-temperature systems due to its excellent strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Grades like 316 and 321 are commonly used in such applications. Proper wall thickness and specifications must be selected based on system requirements.
Standard sizes for stainless steel tubing typically range from 1/8″ to 12″ in outer diameter (OD). Wall thicknesses vary by schedule or gauge, with common options including 0.035″, 0.065″, 0.083″, and heavier. Tubing dimensions follow standards like ASTM A269, A213, and A312 depending on the application.
Stainless steel tubing has found applications in most industries owing to its corrosion resistance, hygienic, and strength features. It finds application in medical applications such as hospital equipment and surgical instruments. It finds applications in constructional works to reinforce structural frameworks as well as handrails. In the automobile and aerospace industries, it finds use in fuel lines and hydraulic systems. It also finds vital use in food processing and chemical plants for transporting gases and liquids in a safe manner. Its durability, low maintenance, and versatility allow it to find applications in industries as well as households.
