Description
Gnee Steel (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. is one of the most professional manufacturers and suppliers of ASTM A269 TP304 Bright Annealed Stainless Steel Seamless Tube in China. With abundant experience, we warmly welcome you to wholesale customized ASTM A269 TP304 Bright Annealed Stainless Steel Seamless Tube from our factory. For price consultation, contact us.
If you are looking for precision tubing that combines high purity, excellent corrosion resistance, and high dimensional accuracy, ASTM A269 TP304 Bright Annealed (BA) Seamless Stainless Steel Tubing is the ideal choice for ultra-pure gas transmission, semiconductor instrumentation, hydraulic systems, and medical equipment applications.
ASTM A269 TP304 stainless steel tubing contains Cr 18.0%–20.0% and Ni 8.0%–11.0%. Processed through bright annealing (BA) in an oxygen-free, hydrogen-protected environment, the tubing eliminates surface micropores caused by conventional pickling, achieving an internal surface roughness (Ra) down to ≤ 0.4 μm. This effectively prevents media residue and microbial growth. The material achieves a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and an elongation of ≥ 35%, delivering exceptional reliability under high-pressure gas tightness and high-frequency vibration conditions.
GNEE supplies ASTM A269 TP304 BA seamless tubes with outer diameters from 3.18 mm to 76.2 mm (1/8" to 3") and wall thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 6.0 mm, with OD tolerances strictly controlled within ±0.05 mm and single tube lengths up to 12 m. We also offer precision cut-to-length, flaring, coiled tubing, and hardness testing (≤ 90 HRB). Every batch passes 100% hydrostatic testing or eddy current testing (ET) alongside pneumatic testing, accompanied by EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates to guarantee full traceability and efficient delivery for high-precision engineering projects worldwide.

If you need assistance with this material, please let me know:
What outer diameter (OD) and wall thickness do you require?
In what industry or environment will the tubing be used?
I can assist you in finding specification details or evaluating suitability.
What is the difference between ASTM A269 and ASTM A213?
A269 stainless steel tubing is for general service, focusing on instrumentation, decorative, or general industrial applications, and does not emphasize high-temperature creep performance.
A213 stainless steel tubing is specifically designed for boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers, with more stringent requirements for mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy at high temperatures, and is typically used in heavy industry.
Quality Control
For ASTM A269 TP304 Bright Annealed Stainless Steel Seamless Tubes, GNEE applies batch-based chemical analysis, dimensional and surface inspection, mechanical testing and hardness testing to verify material quality. According to ASTM A269, each tube is subject to either a nondestructive electric test or hydrostatic test. For critical orders, GNEE can additionally arrange 100% eddy current testing, hydrostatic testing and third-party inspection, with EN 10204 3.1 MTC supplied for traceability.




Prime quality Package
GNEE uses seaworthy export packaging to protect the bright-annealed surface from scratches, moisture and contamination during transportation. Tubes are normally protected with plastic end caps, waterproof film and PP/steel strapping, then packed in bundles, wooden cases or plywood boxes according to tube size and customer requirements. For precision or bright-annealed tubes, additional surface protection can be applied to maintain the smooth appearance throughout handling and international shipment. Each package can be marked with grade, size, quantity, heat number and PO information for easy identification and traceability.
