Stainless steel sanitary tubing is primarily manufactured from austenitic grades such as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L, containing iron, chromium (18–20%), nickel (8–12%), and molybdenum (2–3% in 316/316L) for enhanced corrosion resistance. These alloys ensure excellent resistance to chemicals, acids, and high-temperature environments. Mechanically, sanitary tubing offers tensile strength of 500–700 MPa, yield strength around 200–300 MPa, elongation of 40% minimum, and hardness below 90 HRB, ensuring durability, flexibility, and a smooth, polished surface finish essential for hygienic applications in food, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries.
