1. Origin of 304 stainless steel pipes currently on the market
Stainless steel pipes currently on the market originate from many different countries. Stainless steel pipes with the largest market share come from 5 countries: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Europe.
Stainless steel pipes come from China
China is the largest producer and exporter of 304 stainless steel pipes in the world, accounting for 50% of the market share. The price of Chinese stainless steel pipes is often very cheap, the designs are also very diverse, however the product quality may not be uniform, the quality depends on each manufacturer.
Stainless steel pipes come from Japan
Japanese stainless steel pipes will be a superior choice for customers who need to use them, famous for their high durability and long product life, so the price is also a bit “higher”. Japanese stainless steel pipes are manufactured according to JIS standards, ensuring high quality.
Stainless steel pipes come from Korea
Korean stainless steel pipes are manufactured according to KS standards, not inferior to Japanese stainless steel pipes, with good corrosion resistance and high gloss. Note that you need to buy products from a reputable supplier to ensure product quality.
Stainless steel pipes come from Taiwan
Taiwanese stainless steel pipes are manufactured according to CNS standards, however the quality of stainless steel pipes may vary because many manufacturers use low quality raw materials and substandard production processes. Note that currently there are many imitation products of Taiwanese stainless steel pipes.
Stainless steel pipes come from Europe
European 304 stainless steel pipes are manufactured according to EN, ASTM, ASME standards with outstanding durability and outstanding corrosion resistance, with higher prices than other countries. If you carry out a project using the inch system, ASTM standard stainless steel pipe will be a suitable choice for you.
Note when choosing 304 stainless steel pipes for your project:
- Depending on the purpose of use, budget, and needs, you can choose 304 stainless steel pipes from which country.
- If you are on a budget, you can choose Chinese or Taiwanese stainless steel pipes.
- If you need high quality, durability and long life, you choose Japanese or Korean stainless steel pipes.
- If you need a high-end brand with excellent corrosion resistance, you can choose European stainless steel pipes provided by Inox Quang Minh.

2. Typical characteristics of 304 stainless steel pipes
Nowadays, 304 stainless steel pipes are being widely used. Here are some outstanding features of this stainless steel line:
High heat resistance: Good oxidation ability at a temperature of 870 degrees Celsius and continues to be heated up to a temperature of 925 degrees Celsius.
High hardness and durability: Can increase hardness in low temperature environments. The highest elasticity that 304 stainless steel can achieve is 1000MPa. This is also influenced by factors such as the quantity and shape of the material.
High corrosion resistance: Along with high corrosion resistance when exposed to many different abrasive chemicals. 304 Stainless Steel Pipe has excellent corrosion resistance in textiles, dyeing and most inorganic acids. Furthermore, 304 stainless steel has good rust resistance in most architectural applications, most food processing environments, and is easy to clean.
Toughness at low temperatures: Possesses quite good toughness when lowered to the temperature of liquefied gas.
High machinability: Good shaping potential, easy to laminate without heating. Therefore, in the fields of stainless steel parts production, most things use 304 stainless steel pipes.
304 Stainless Steel Pipe is easy to shape, has good shine: 304 Stainless Steel material is considered easy to construct and easily laminated thanks to its high ductility. Thanks to these characteristics, 304 stainless steel can be shaped with many highly complex, artistic and sophisticated details. With the shape of 304 stainless steel pipe, the product bends well and has high durability, extremely good bearing capacity, and lasts over time. Thanks to that, 304 stainless steel pipes are widely used in interior decoration and high-end construction materials.
304 stainless steel pipes are easy to clean: Thanks to the shiny surface and less roughness, making it easier to slip, they are less dirty and not difficult to clean. In addition, this type of tube also does not react with most cleaning fluids. Used to make household appliances, equipment, etc. that often get dirty.
