| Corrosion Resistance | High (general environments) | Very High (marine/chemical resistance) | Moderate (suitable for light use) |
| Weldability | Excellent | Excellent | Moderate |
| Applications | Pharma, food, water pipelines | Marine, high-corrosion zones | Structural, domestic |
| Strength | High | High | Moderate |
| Cost | Mid-range | Higher | Budget-friendly |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
- How do I know if SS 304 is suitable for my specific industry application?
At Kad Steel Rolling Mills, we help clients assess their working environment like chemical exposure, temperature, pressure, hygiene requirements and recommend the most cost-effective grade. SS 304 suits most general-purpose needs, but we provide guidance if higher grades are necessary. - How does the surface finish of SS 304 pipes affect performance?
A mirror or polished finish on SS 304 pipes enhances corrosion resistance and cleanliness, especially in food and pharma industries. We offer multiple finishes based on the functional need—not just appearance. - Can SS 304 pipes be used for both indoor and outdoor installations?
Yes. SS 304 performs well outdoors but may show surface corrosion in marine or heavily polluted environments. For such cases, we advise protective coatings or higher grades like SS 316. - What kind of testing do you conduct on SS 304 pipes before dispatch?
Our in-house QA team runs dimensional inspection, hydro testing, PMI (Positive Material Identification), and surface finish checks. We provide test certificates with every order for complete transparency. Also you can go through our quality control page. - How does Kad Steel ensure weld strength and integrity in SS 304 pipes?
We use high-quality TIG welding techniques with inert gas shielding and conduct X-ray or ultrasonic tests on request to ensure weld joints meet pressure and structural integrity standards. - Do you offer technical consultation before bulk orders?
Absolutely. Our engineers collaborate with you to understand operating conditions and recommend ideal sizes, finishes, and grades—reducing future maintenance and failure risks.
