Overview of Food Grade Stainless Steel Pipe
304 and 316 stainless tubing are the most common choices for tubing utilized in the food and beverage industry due to their relatively low cost, resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning.
Food and beverage-grade stainless steel tubing are useful in such applications as liquid transfer, dispensing, and temperature sensors. Food-grade stainless steel tubing is utilized today in everything from brewing beer to reusable straws.
Polished Stainless Steel Tubing is the main tubing line for a piping system, the surface is polished to meet the requirement of high purity and hygienic requirements from food, beverage, beer, winery, pharmacies, cosmetics, etc. Generally, food-grade stainless steel tubes are made in stainless steel 304 and 316L, but we provide other grades too such as C22, 316Ti, Titanium, and nickel alloy, etc.

Why is Stainless Steel Used in Food Industry
For many sanitary food handling applications, stainless steel is a popular material choice. Not only can food-grade stainless steel stand up to harsh temperatures that would melt plastic, the material’s protective oxide layer helps prevent the formation of rust that could contaminate foods. Perhaps the most important reason is that food-grade stainless steel contains no chemicals that can migrate into foods.
Benefits of Using Stainless Steel in Food Industry
l Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel is especially resistant to corrosion and rusting compared to other metals, which makes it perfect for use in the kitchen. Food-grade stainless steel is often used for kitchen equipment, which can be costly to install. But, because most grades of stainless steel are highly corrosion-resistant, the equipment does not need to be replaced as frequently.
l Strength: Food-grade stainless steel is extremely strong, making it an excellent material to use in heavy-duty equipment or in shelving for storage areas.
l Ease of cleaning: Other materials, such as wood or plastic, have grooves or openings where bacteria can invade and grow. Stainless steel is smooth and doesn't provide a place for bacteria to hide, allowing it to be easily cleaned. When cleaning stainless steel, it is important to always use a food-grade stainless steel cleaner.
l Non-reactive surface: Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal, which means that you can use it to cook foods that are acidic, such as citrus, tomatoes, and vinegar. Other metals, like aluminum and iron, are reactive. Cooking acidic foods in these metals may affect the flavor of the food, typically adding a metallic flavor, and can damage the surface of the metal.
l Cost: When properly cared for and maintained, stainless steel has low maintenance costs.
