United Industries has produced stainless steel tubing to ASTM A554 specifications for over 80 years.
Our ornamental products are produced for a wide range of applications including tubing for mirror bracket
arms, boat rails and ladders, washroom grab bars, swim pool rail goods, medical equipment, automotive
step bars and grille guards, among many others. All 300 series austenitic tubing is produced in the
surface finish and packaging requirements specified by our customers.
Manufacturing
United Industries uses only raw material from approved steel suppliers for all of our ornamental ASTM
A554 tubing, with specific Rockwell and surface finish requirements. Tube production is completed entirely
inline, beginning with high quality roll form tooling that minimizes marking, laser welding, ID and OD weld
bead conditioning, final sizing, cut to length, deburring, specified polishing, surface finish protection and
packaging for shipment. This inline process keeps work-in-process problems to a minimum and reduces
material handling.
Polishing
United Industries offers a wide variety of mechanical surface finishes, ranging from the 180 grit satin
often used for washroom grab bars to the super-buff finish preferred for automotive accessory tubing.
We also offer the highest quality as-welded surface for our customers who mechanically polish the tubing
themselves or who have it electropolished. Our in-house sample electropolish testing tank ensures that
you receive the surface condition required for these applications.
