AODSON METAL · STAINLESS STEEL FABRICATION
Custom 304, 316L and duplex stainless steel welded pipes and tubes manufactured to project dimensions, drawings and application requirements.
01 / BUILT TO SPECIFICATION
Start with the application.
Build around the specification.
AODSON provides stainless steel welded pipe and tube solutions for projects requiring specific material grades, dimensions, wall thicknesses, finishes and downstream fabrication.
We review drawings and project specifications before confirming the manufacturing route. Small quantities, production batches and fabricated assemblies are assessed against size, material and processing requirements—not an assumption that every section is held in stock.
02 / MATERIAL SELECTION
Match the alloy to corrosion exposure, fabrication requirements and the governing specification.
A practical starting point for general industrial use, architectural work and equipment fabrication in moderate corrosion environments. Specify the required carbon grade and welding requirements.
AUSTENITICMolybdenum-bearing grades for improved resistance in many chloride-containing environments. Consider for marine fabrication, chemical and process equipment after reviewing exposure, temperature and cleaning conditions. Not immune to seawater corrosion.
AUSTENITICDuplex stainless steel combines higher strength with improved chloride resistance compared with conventional 304 and 316 grades. Welding, forming and inspection requirements need project-specific review.
DUPLEXSuper duplex stainless steel can be reviewed for demanding corrosion and strength requirements. Availability and manufacturability depend on dimensions, quantity, standard and project requirements.
PROJECT REVIEWOther stainless or special alloys may be considered by enquiry. Material selection remains part of the project engineering review. Duplex material reference ↗
03 / PRODUCT FORMS
From circular sections to flat-faced profiles and drawing-based assemblies.
Specify outside diameter, wall thickness, length and the applicable product standard. Pipe and tube designations should follow the order specification.
Flat faces for frames, architectural components and equipment fabrication. Identify corner radii and critical fit dimensions.

Dimensions, seam arrangement, custom fabricated tubes and assembly details reviewed against the drawing. No universal size range is implied.
04 / THE MANUFACTURING ROUTE
Confirm grade, starting material and documentation requirements.
Prepare the strip or section and align the edges for the specified geometry.
Select the welding procedure and seam finish for the material, wall and intended service.
Review straightness, section dimensions and cut lengths against the agreed tolerances.
Confirm finish, surface condition and order-specific checks before release.
Agree protection, identification and handling requirements for the shipment.
BEYOND THE TUBE
Combine welded tube production with cutting, drilling, machining, fitting and assembly support. AODSON reviews the complete component so connection details and downstream operations are considered early.
The welding method, procedure, seam requirements and any post-weld treatment are confirmed for the order. A production photograph alone is not a process qualification.
Request a manufacturing review ↗05 / TECHNICAL BRIEF
Send a drawing or a dimensioned specification. A drawing is helpful, but it is not required to start an enquiry.
| Parameter | Available options / confirmation basis |
|---|---|
| Material | 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 2205, 2507 and project-specific grades, subject to review |
| Shape | Round, square, rectangular and custom sections |
| Dimensions | According to drawing or project specification |
| Wall thickness | According to specification and manufacturing review |
| Length | Standard or custom cut lengths, confirmed for the order |
| Surface | Mill, brushed, polished, pickled/passivated or project-specific finish, as applicable |
| Fabrication | Cutting, drilling, welding, machining and assembly support |
| Documentation | Material and inspection documentation specified with the order |
State the requested ASTM, ASME, EN, DIN, ISO or JIS designation and edition, where applicable. Production and inspection requirements are confirmed according to the requested product standard, material grade and application. These are specification families—not a claim that every tube complies with all of them simultaneously.
SURFACE MATTERS
Finishing selected around corrosion exposure, appearance and downstream fabrication requirements.
Choose mill, brushed or polished appearance; pickling and passivation can be specified where appropriate to the manufacturing route. Define visible faces, brushing direction and finish acceptance using a reference sample when necessary.

06 / QUALITY & RELEASE
Define acceptance criteria before production. Material verification, dimensions, wall thickness, weld visual condition, straightness, surface condition and assembly fit-up form the basis of the agreed inspection plan.
PMI / spectroscopy and other project-specific inspections are arranged when required and confirmed in the order. EN 10204 3.1 material documentation can be supplied when specified as part of the order; scope and applicability are confirmed during quotation.

MATERIAL DECISION
304 is a cost-effective choice for many general industrial and architectural applications. 316L contains molybdenum and generally offers improved resistance in chloride-containing environments; its low carbon content is relevant to welded fabrication.
Neither is a universal answer. Consider the fluid, temperature, cleaning regime and external exposure alongside cost. Read our guide to 304 vs 316 stainless steel.
CONSTRUCTION DECISION
Welded pipe offers efficient production, dimensional flexibility and a practical route to many structural, process and custom fabrication applications when the specification permits it.
Seamless pipe is produced without a longitudinal weld seam and is specified for certain pressure, temperature or code-driven applications. Select using the design code, pressure, temperature, corrosion environment, size, fabrication and inspection requirements—not the construction label alone.
07 / APPLICATIONS
Project suitability depends on material, tube specification, fabrication and the required inspection plan. No application listing implies an industry certification.
08 / AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
Pipe and tube supply connected with machining, welding and metal fabrication.
304, 316L, duplex and project-specific materials assessed for the job.
Dimensions, application and acceptance requirements reviewed together.
Material and inspection records aligned with order requirements.
Specification-led communication for international industrial and OEM customers.
09 / PREPARE YOUR ENQUIRY
A clear brief helps us review manufacturability and prepare a project-based quotation. Send the information you have; a drawing is optional.
10 / PRACTICAL ANSWERS
AODSON reviews 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 2205 duplex and 2507 super duplex requirements, along with project-specific grades. Availability depends on dimensions, quantity, standard and manufacturing requirements.
Yes. Submit outside dimensions, wall thickness, length and quantity for manufacturing review. Custom sections and fabricated assemblies are evaluated against the drawing or specification before order confirmation.
304 is widely used for general applications. Molybdenum-bearing 316L generally improves chloride resistance, while its low carbon content is relevant to welding. Selection still depends on temperature, exposure and project requirements.
Polished and brushed finishes can be specified for review. Define the appearance, visible surfaces and any surface acceptance criteria; use a sample where matching is important.
These operations can be combined with tube supply according to the project. Include hole locations, joints, machining features and assembly requirements so feasibility can be reviewed.
EN 10204 3.1 material documentation can be supplied when specified as part of the order. Confirm scope, traceability and applicability during quotation; it is not automatically included for every enquiry.
Send the material grade, profile, dimensions, wall thickness, length, quantity, finish and application. Include the standard and inspection requirements. Attach a drawing if available, or start with a dimensioned specification.
YOUR SPECIFICATION. THE NEXT STEP.
Send your drawing, material grade, dimensions, quantity, surface finish and application requirements. AODSON will review manufacturability and prepare a project-based quotation.
