Your long-lasting, high-quality industrial piping solution.
Stainless steel is the stronger, more reliable piping solution for your industrial project. Experience increased corrosion resistance, strength, and durability, with a broad range of critical applications.
Stainless steel has a layer of passive chromium oxide that forms on its surface and renews quickly if damaged, making it extremely corrosion-resistant. This means it’s perfect for harsh applications.
Stainless steel can withstand extremely high pressures and temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Celsius with ease, making it the best option for fire resistance. On average, it’s 2.5x stronger than copper, and the 316L grade has a tensile strength of 570 – 620Mpa.
Unlike other metals such as copper, the price of stainless steel is relatively stable, with minimal fluctuations. This can help keep projects on budget, and help scope projects more effectively.
Due to its strength and durability stainless steel is perfect for a range of applications, including high-pressure, high-velocity, high-temperature, and more.
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and can be produced without harmful chemicals, which means it has a low carbon footprint.

“Their knowledge, friendliness and willingness to go out of their way to ensure the project was completed on time and on budget was outstanding.”
We needed a piping system that was versatile enough to cater to the complexity of this project. This is why we chose the Impress® press fit system.
“We received good customer service from Ibex from start till the end of the project. I would use these products on our next project…”
“We found the press fit systems to be of high quality, and the pipes performed well during the hydrostatic testing. No leaks were reported.”
“Ibex Australia was a great partner for us. We were very happy with the product and the outstanding service they supplied.”
“No welding, low labour costs, easy installation and reliable results make the product a ‘no-brainer’.”
Thank you for your help in providing full support on SS tube and fitting delivery. Your service and your team’s assistance are always valued.
“The team at Ibex have always gone out of their way to make sure we get prompt deliveries and product support”
“Press fit is much faster than welded tube systems, particularly compared to purge welding. It is simple to use and produces quality pipe work”
“The Express piping system has enabled Endfire to meet and exceed challenges on the Project.”
“Ibex delivers a high quality, high spec system that is simple, fast, compliant and cost effective”
“Being stainless steel and due to the harsh environment, the system is a no-brainer for endless applications”
“love the fittings, as it takes out the tensioning guesswork having these check rings & no need to polish the tubing…and it looks GREAT”
Pipes are typically measured by their interior diameter and used for transporting fluids and gases. Tubes, on the other hand, are measured by their exterior diameter and often used for structural applications.
The most common grades are 304 and 316 stainless steel. The main difference between these two steel grades is that the 316L grade includes an alloy called molybdenum, which enhances corrosion resistance, while 304L does not. Grade 304L is commonly used for general applications due to its cost-effectiveness and durability, while 316L stainless steel is used predominantly for more critical applications that require increased corrosion resistance and strength.
The choice depends on the environment the stainless steel will be exposed to. For general use, 304L stainless steel is sufficient. However, for harsher applications like saltwater or corrosive chemicals, 316L stainless steel is the best option. If you’re unsure what grade of stainless steel you need for your project, get in touch with our team who are more than happy to help you figure it out.
Yes, stainless steel tubes, especially those made from 316L stainless steel, are known for their strength and durability, capable of withstanding high pressures, and temperatures up to 1400 degrees Celsius. This makes them ideal for high-pressure systems and high-temperature applications.
Absolutely. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, and its longevity and ability to be reused without degradation make it an environmentally sustainable choice. Additionally, it is produced without using any harmful chemicals, which contributes to a low carbon footprint.
Stainless steel pipes and tubes have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, water and wastewater treatment, chemical and petrochemical processing, oil and gas pipelines, food and beverage processing, and architectural and construction projects. Their corrosion resistance, strength, and durability make them suitable for harsh environments and demanding applications.
The pricing of stainless steel pipes and tubes is relatively stable compared to materials like copper, which can experience significant price fluctuations. This stability helps in budgeting and project planning, making stainless steel a cost-effective option over your project’s lifecycle.
