ASTM A312 / EN 10357 Sanitary Pipes & Tubes - Certified precision piping for East Africa’s food, dairy, pharma, and industrial sectors.
Our inventory clearly distinguishes between pipes (specified by nominal pipe size and schedule for pressure-rated fluid transport) and tubes (specified by exact outside diameter and wall thickness for structural, architectural, and precision applications). This distinction ensures you receive material matched to your design requirements, not approximate substitutes.
Sanitary-grade pipes specified by nominal pipe size (NPS) and schedule number. Schedule 10 for low-pressure service, Schedule 40 for higher pressure applications and mechanical strength requirements.
ASTM A312 / EN 10357 sanitary-grade pipes available in ½-inch through 6-inch NPS in both Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 wall thicknesses. Grades available: 304 and 316L. Standard length: 6 meters (custom cutting available).
Ideal for dairy milk lines, neutral pH product transfer, hot water distribution, steam service in non-coastal environments, and general industrial process piping where chloride exposure is minimal.
Recommended for acidic product transfer (fruit juices, fermented beverages), pharmaceutical process piping, coastal installations, and chemical process applications with chloride-containing fluids. Low-carbon (L) prevents sensitization during welding.
Specified by exact outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness for structural, architectural, and precision applications requiring exact dimensional control.
Metric sizes available: 12mm to 63mm OD with 1.0mm, 1.2mm, and 1.5mm wall thicknesses. Standard length: 6 meters (custom cutting available).
Square and rectangular profiles for architectural frameworks, equipment stands, support structures, and applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratio with corrosion resistance.
Description: Cold-rolled, heat-treated, pickled, and lightly rolled. Smooth, slightly reflective surface.
Applications: General fabrication, most industrial applications, standard for food processing.
Description: Electrochemical process removing surface material, achieving Ra ≤ 0.8µm. Smooth, bright, corrosion-resistant.
Applications: Food-grade applications, pharmaceutical, dairy, applications requiring documented cleanability.
Description: Chemical treatment removing heat scale and enhancing passive layer.
Applications: Industrial applications, post-weld treatment.
Description: Directional grain finish created by abrasive belts.
Applications: Architectural applications, visible handrails, aesthetic installations.
Smooth interior without weld intrusion, consistent quality, documented for pharmaceutical applications.
Strong, clean joints for custom fabrications with smooth finish possible.
Tool-free assembly/disassembly for applications requiring inspection access and CIP compatibility.
Simple assembly for non-sanitary applications and low-pressure service.
Strong, leak-resistant connections for systems requiring periodic disassembly.
Precision cutting to specified lengths (±2mm tolerance). CNC tube cutting for accurate, square ends.
Edge preparation for orbital welding. Standard 37.5° bevel for pipe welding.
NPT threading for pipe ends for mechanical connections.
For mechanical coupling systems.
Custom tube bending for handrails and frameworks on request.
Complete spool pieces fabricated in our workshop for reduced on-site installation time.
Mechanical Properties: Tensile Strength 515 MPa minimum | Yield Strength 205 MPa minimum | Elongation 40% minimum
Mechanical Properties: Tensile Strength 485 MPa minimum | Yield Strength 170 MPa minimum | Elongation 40% minimum
Our pipes and tubes comply with:
Every pipe and tube order includes:
Documentation supports: ISO 9001 quality systems, HACCP compliance, pharmaceutical validation, project specifications, and KEBS certification requirements.
Select pipe by NPS size and schedule based on pressure requirements. Example: 2" Schedule 10 for CIP return lines, 2" Schedule 40 for steam service.
Select pipe with electropolished interior finish (Ra ≤ 0.8µm) for food contact. Example: 1½" Schedule 10 316L electropolished for dairy milk line.
Select tube by exact OD and wall thickness. Example: 50×50×2.0mm RHS for equipment frame.
Select tube by OD for aesthetic consistency. Example: 1½" OD × 1.5mm wall Grade 304 with No.4 brushed finish.
Pipe is specified by nominal pipe size (NPS) and schedule for pressure-rated fluid transport. Tube is specified by exact outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness for structural, architectural, and precision applications.
Schedule 10 has thinner walls for low-pressure applications, while Schedule 40 has thicker walls for higher pressures and greater mechanical strength.
Grade 304 is suitable for most food applications. For acidic foods (fruit juices, fermented products), Grade 316L is mandatory due to its molybdenum content.
Yes, we offer electropolished interior finish achieving Ra ≤ 0.8µm, meeting FDA guidance for food contact surfaces.
Standard length is 6 meters. Custom cutting is available.
Yes, we provide custom cutting to specified lengths, beveling, threading, and grooving services.
