Stainless steel tubing<\/a><\/strong> is a hollow cylindrical product made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and supplied in set grades, outside diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths, finishes, and manufacturing forms. Buyers specify it by outside diameter and wall thickness, which separates it from pipe, where nominal bore and schedule lead the specification. Heat exchangers, food processing lines, instrumentation and chemical plants all rely on it. Grade and dimensions drive price differences, since a 316L tube carries molybdenum that a 304 tube lacks, and a thicker wall consumes more metal per metre. Standard tubing follows catalogue sizes, while specialty tubing adds tight tolerances, exotic alloys, or special testing, as with seamless stainless steel tubes made to order. Specifications therefore come before price comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The table below lists indicative stainless steel tubing price ranges in Indian rupees per kg for common grades. Actual quotations vary with order size, finish, testing, and the current market rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every price above is an indicative rate per kg, not a per metre, per piece or per length figure. Those rates differ because OD and wall thickness change the weight of each tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Price per kg links cost to material weight, so it suits bulk orders and mill purchases where tonnage sets the budget. Price per metre links cost to length, so it simplifies comparison between suppliers quoting the same fixed dimensions, such as 12.7 mm OD tube at 1.2 mm wall. The two methods connect through weight per metre. That figure rises with outside diameter and wall thickness, which means a thicker tube costs more per metre even when the per-kg rate stays identical. Buyers who convert one method into the other can compare SS 304 tubes and SS 316 tubes from different suppliers on equal terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eight factors move a quotation up or down. Each one changes either the raw material consumed, the labour and machine time involved, or the paperwork that follows the final order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alloy composition sets the base price. SS 316L adds molybdenum to the chromium and nickel of SS 304; SS 321 and SS 347 add titanium and niobium respectively; and SS 904L and SMO 254 carry the highest nickel and molybdenum, which lifts them to \u20b9900 to \u20b91,400 per kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Larger outside diameter and thicker walls consume more metal, so weight per metre climbs, and the price per metre follows. SS 304 tubes span 6 mm to 152.4 mm OD and 0.71 mm to 3.25 mm wall, so two quotes for the same grade can differ sharply per metre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seamless tubing starts as a solid billet that is milled and pierced, which costs more than welded tubing, where rolled strip closes into a seam. Cold-drawn tubing adds drawing passes that tighten tolerances and increase strength. Precision tubing adds further controls on dimensions and finish, so each step raises the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mill finish carries the lowest price because it needs no extra work after production. Pickled and passivated tubes undergo acid treatment that restores the corrosion-resistant surface. Bright annealed tubes need controlled atmosphere furnaces, and polished tubes need abrasive grinding and buffing, so each added operation raises the rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bulk orders lower the rate per kg because mills spread setup, cutting, and handling costs across more tonnage. Mills set minimum order quantities, and lots below that threshold carry a price premium. A full production batch of one grade and size gives buyers the strongest pricing position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard lengths of 3 m and 6 m move through production and stock without extra work. Nonstandard cut lengths, tight tolerances, and custom diameters add cutting, straightening, inspection, and rejection losses. Handling of long or irregular lengths also adds freight and packing costs, which raise the final quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compliance with a standard such as ASTM A213 or A269 sets the testing scope. Hydrostatic, eddy current, ultrasonic and intergranular corrosion tests, along with mill test certificates, traceability and third-party inspection, add laboratory time and documentation costs to every quotation. Each extra requirement lengthens lead time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nickel, chromium and molybdenum prices move the base rate of every grade, with nickel having the largest effect on austenitic grades. Energy costs, freight rates, currency movements, and demand cycles add further swings, which explains why quotations carry a validity period and why rates differ between enquiry dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Material Cost = Quantity \u00d7 Unit Price<\/p>\n\n\n\n For weight-based purchasing, the formula becomes <\/p>\n\n\n\n Total Cost = Total Weight \u00d7 Price per Kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where total weight equals weight per metre multiplied by total length. The final procurement cost then adds further items: Material + Processing + Testing\/Certification + Packaging + Freight + Applicable Taxes. Each item shifts with the specification, so buyers should request an itemised quotation that separates each charge. Weight per metre follows from OD and wall thickness, so both dimensions belong in every request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A stainless steel tubing price list works as an initial reference, but the purchase price depends on the full specification and current market conditions. Quotations compare fairly only when grade, dimensions, standard, finish, quantity, testing requirements, and delivery terms match across every supplier. A change in any one of them shifts the rate. Buyers who request an itemised quotation and verify the mill test certificate before ordering protect the budget against mismatched or incomplete specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stainless steel tubing costs \u20b9250 to \u20b9450 per kg for SS 304, \u20b9350 to \u20b9550 for SS 316 and 316L, and \u20b9900 to \u20b91,400 for SS 904L and SMO 254.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weight per metre times the per-kg rate gives the figure. A 12.7 mm OD, 1.2 mm wall SS 316 tube weighs 0.34 kg per metre, about \u20b9120 to \u20b9170.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grade, outside diameter, wall thickness, manufacturing method, finish, quantity, length, testing requirements, and raw material costs together set the price on each quotation, with grade and wall thickness weighing most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. SS 316 tubing sells for \u20b9350 to \u20b9500 per kg against \u20b9250 to \u20b9450 for SS 304, because molybdenum raises its alloy cost. SS 316L reaches \u20b9550.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Larger OD and thicker walls raise weight per metre, so price per metre climbs. Give the exact OD and thickness to the supplier before ordering to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Specify grade, OD, wall thickness, length, finish, standard, quantity, and testing needs in a single enquiry. Suppliers then return comparable quotes, provided delivery terms appear in the request too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stainless steel tubing has no single fixed price because each order combines its own grade, size, and specification.
