Colombia has a continuous demand for stainless steel pipes for industrial equipment, heat transfer systems, and fluid transport. In applications where corrosion resistance and stable mechanical properties are required, selecting a pipe that meets a recognized technical specification is particularly important. In this context, welded stainless steel pipes "ASTM A249 TP304" are a suitable option for industrial applications related to heat exchangers, condensers, and other process equipment.
For an industrial project in Colombia, "Jinxi Steel Industry Group Co., Ltd." exported welded stainless steel pipes to the port of "Buenaventura". The order was for "ASTM A249 TP304", with dimensions of "38.1 x 1.2 x 2630 mm", a total of "17,500 pipes", and an approximate total weight of "5.080 tons". The goods were shipped from "Shanghai Port to Buenaventura Port", providing a supply solution tailored to the customer's requested specifications.
Jinxi Steel Industry Group Co., Ltd. supplied welded stainless steel pipes "TP304 (UNS S30400)" in accordance with "ASTM A249 / ASME SA249". This specification applies to welded austenitic stainless steel pipes intended, among other applications, for boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, and condensers.
TP304 has a composition of "18.0–20.0% Cr and 8.0–12.0% Ni", while its minimum mechanical properties include "515 MPa tensile strength, 205 MPa yield strength, and 35% elongation".

The order was prepared according to the dimensions, steel grade, quantity, and logistical requirements specified for the project. The delivery of "1,750 TP304 pipes", with dimensions of "38.1 x 1.2 x 2630 mm", allowed for a clear correspondence between the requested specification and the supply provided. The available information does not include a textual statement from the customer regarding post-installation performance, therefore this case does not attribute undocumented opinions or results.
This project demonstrates the capability of "Jinxi Steel Industry Group Co., Ltd." to supply welded stainless steel pipes "ASTM A249 TP304" with defined dimensions and quantities for industrial projects in Colombia. With a combination of ASTM A249 / ASME SA249 specification, TP304 material, "515 MPa minimum tensile strength", "205 MPa yield strength", and "35% elongation", the product can be oriented towards applications such as heat exchangers, condensers, and industrial services.
