Why The Price Difference Of 304 Stainless Steel Pipe Is So Big?

We often encounter these problems in the process of choosing 304 stainless steel pipes. Why are the same 304 stainless steel pipes with such a big price difference? Or how much I bought before, and now the price has increased so much, is it cheating me or something?

So in fact, the price of 304 stainless steel pipe is affected by many factors.

For example, the prices of 304 stainless steel pipes produced by the same stainless steel factory may also be different, because stainless steel pipes are divided into thick-walled and thick-walled. Generally speaking, thick-walled pipes are more expensive than thick-walled pipes, because more materials are used, and the price of pipes is naturally higher.

1 Influencing factors of a complex process

The technological level of the product also has a great influence on the price of the product, and the stainless steel pipe rolling process is one of the more important processes. Generally speaking, the thickness of 304 stainless steel pipe has a great relationship with the rolling of its strip steel, because the specific charging standards of the rolling factory are divided according to different thicknesses, and the thinner the thickness of the strip steel, the lower the rolling processing cost of one ton. The higher the price, this is why the level of rolling technology affects the price, because after the overall cost rises, the price will naturally vary.

2 Influencing factors of yield rate

General stainless steel pipe factories will always stock some general-purpose 304 stainless steel pipe specifications and models, such as Jiaqi Stainless Steel, which has sufficient stock of conventional stainless steel pipes, with a thickness of about 0.5mm and above. The 304 stainless steel pipes of these specifications and models have a high yield rate in pipe making and grinding and polishing, so they are easy to manufacture. Due to the diversification of the current demand, many stainless steel pipes are customized in large quantities, especially some thin stainless steel pipes, and the yield is relatively low, because the specifications for pipe making and grinding and polishing are relatively high, and the yield is relatively low. So the overall cost goes up, and the price is naturally expensive.
