Description
Stainless Steel Welded Tubing - 20' Lengths
Stainless Steel Welded Tubing provides a durable, corrosion-resistant tubing option for commercial and industrial applications. Manufactured to ASTM A269, this tubing is available in 304 and 316 stainless steel and is supplied in full 20-foot lengths.
The welded tubing construction is suitable for applications requiring bending or flaring. When determining allowable pressure for drawn and welded tubing, the appropriate derating factor must be applied. Refer to the Merit Brass tubing dimensions and pressure ratings documents below when selecting tubing for your application.

304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel provides corrosion-resistant construction for a wide range of compatible commercial and industrial tubing applications.
316 Stainless Steel
316 stainless steel provides additional corrosion resistance for compatible applications and service environments where 316-grade material is specified.
Welded Tubing Construction
This tubing uses welded stainless steel construction and is manufactured to ASTM A269. It is suitable for fabrication methods including bending and flaring when performed using appropriate tubing tools and procedures.
For drawn and welded tubing, a derating factor must be used when determining allowable working pressure. Refer to the Merit Brass Stainless Steel Tubing Pressure Ratings document for applicable pressure information.
Bending & Flaring
Bending
- Suitable for bending
- Use appropriate stainless steel tubing tools
- Follow proper bend-radius requirements
- Avoid deformation or excessive flattening during fabrication
Flaring
- Suitable for flaring
- Use tooling appropriate for the tubing size and wall thickness
- Inspect fabricated ends before assembly
- Confirm connection requirements before fabrication
20-Foot Tubing Lengths
Stainless steel welded tubing is supplied in 20-foot lengths. Full-length tubing should be properly supported during transportation, storage, handling, and fabrication to help prevent damage or deformation.
