ASTM A270 TP304,Stainless Steel Welded Tube,Sanitary Tubing
Overview
Standards: ASTM A270 is the standard specification for seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel sanitary tubing intended for use in the dairy and food industry and having special surface finishes. TP304 refers to the specific grade of stainless steel, which is Type 304, a commonly used stainless steel alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance.ASTM A270 specifies several surface finishes for sanitary tubing, including the most common ones: 180 grit (Ra 32 max) and 320 grit (Ra 20 max). These finishes ensure a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and contamination.
