Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering ā so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.
01
What is Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar is a general-purpose austenitic stainless-steel square bar with useful corrosion resistance, formability and weldability. Buyers should state the complete grade and product standard, side dimension, length, finish, tolerance, supply condition and quantity. The product name alone does not establish corrosion performance, mechanical properties or dimensional acceptance.
02
Which applications commonly use Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
Common applications include food equipment, appliances, brackets, architectural components and general fabrication. Suitability depends on chemicals, chlorides, temperature, hygiene, loads, machining and fabrication. Final grade selection must follow the approved drawing, BOQ, process conditions and responsible engineer or end userās approval.
03
Which square sizes are listed for Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
The live size chart lists 10 x 10, 12 x 12, 14 x 14, 16 x 16, 17 x 17, 20 x 20, 25 x 25, 32 x 32, 40 x 40, 42 x 42, 50 x 50, 53 x 53, 56 x 56 and 63 x 63 mm. These are published chart entries, not confirmation of immediate stock. State the required side dimension, length, grade, finish and quantity, particularly when a machined component needs clean-up allowance or an unlisted starting size.
04
How should size and tolerance be specified for Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
State nominal side dimension, across-flat tolerance, squareness, corner profile, straightness, twist and surface acceptance. For machined parts, provide finished dimensions and machining allowance. Hot-rolled, drawn, ground and polished square bars can have different dimensional and surface expectations.
05
What standard lengths are available for Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
The reviewed page does not publish a fixed standard-length range. Confirm availability for the requested grade, square size and quantity. State exact or random length, cut-length tolerance, end condition and whether individual pieces require drawing-based identification or traceability.
06
How is Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar weight per metre calculated?
Theoretical weight uses the square side dimension and the density adopted for the specified stainless-steel grade. A preliminary estimate is side squared multiplied by the selected density factor, but do not assume the mild-steel factor is contractual. Confirm whether quotation and invoicing use theoretical or actual weight.
07
Can I get a Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar weight chart?
The live page provides average kg/m and kg/ft values for its listed square sizes. Use them for early estimation only and confirm the density and tolerance basis for the selected stainless grade. Final purchase weight should follow the quotationās documented calculation or weighment method.
08
What is the Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar price per kg?
The price per kg requires a dated quotation. It varies with alloy surcharge, grade, square size, length, quantity, finish, tolerance, testing, cutting, packing, freight and taxes. Send a complete line-item specification so competing suppliers quote the same material and commercial scope.
09
How is the Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar price per tonne determined?
Price per tonne depends on exact grade and standard, size mix, bar length, total tonnage, supply condition, certification, inspection and destination. Confirm whether cutting, testing, packing, freight and GST are included, and compare offers within their stated validity periods.
10
What is the MOQ for Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
The live page states a minimum order quantity of 1 tonne. Actual acceptance remains subject to grade, square size, length, finish and availability. For mixed-size orders, provide the piece count or weight of each line item rather than only the combined project tonnage.
11
Is Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar available from ready stock?
Stock must be confirmed for the exact grade, standard, side dimension, length, finish, condition and quantity. A product page or size chart does not prove immediate availability. State any mill or make preference, MTC, inspection and delivery-date requirements at enquiry stage.
12
Can an MTC be supplied with Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
Request the mill test certificate at enquiry stage and specify the required certificate type. It should correspond to the supplied material and identify the heat or batch, grade, standard and reported chemistry and mechanical results. Traceability and third-party review must be agreed before ordering.
13
Can 304 stainless steel square bar replace 316?
304 should not replace 316 without reviewing the approved material specification and exposure. 316 contains molybdenum and commonly offers improved resistance in many chloride conditions. Any substitution requires written engineer or end-user approval after comparing chemistry, standard, duty and certification.
14
Can Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar be cut, machined, threaded or welded?
Processing can be reviewed against the grade, drawing and quantity. Provide cut length, machining allowance, thread specification, weld procedure and finish-restoration requirements. Stainless-steel tooling, contamination control and post-weld cleaning should follow the approved manufacturing procedure.
15
Is Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar suitable for outdoor, coastal or marine use?
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, not corrosion-proof. Suitability depends on grade, chloride level, temperature, crevices, deposits, surface finish and maintenance. 316 or 316L may be considered over 304-family grades for many chloride duties, but marine selection still needs engineering review.
16
Can I buy Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar from a supplier in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai?
Ferrite lists its head office in Mumbai and a facility address at Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai. Provide the delivery postcode, longest length, total tonnage, unloading constraints and required date so availability and logistics can be reviewed for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra.
17
Can Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar be supplied across India?
The website states nationwide supply. India-wide enquiries should include consignee postcode, grade, square size, length, tonnage, packing and delivery schedule. Long-bar freight can materially affect landed price, so compare suppliers on the same ex-works or delivered basis.
18
Does Ferrite handle export enquiries for Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar?
Export requirements can be reviewed for the requested specification and quantity. Provide destination port and country, Incoterm, grade, standard, square size, length, tonnage, finish, packing, MTC and inspection requirements. Shipping programme and documentation must be confirmed for the specific order.
19
How should quotations from Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar suppliers be compared?
Compare exact grade and standard, across-flat tolerance, corner profile, length, finish, origin or make if specified, MTC, inspection, cutting, packing, freight, taxes and delivery basis. A lower rate is not comparable if the supplier offers another grade, condition or certification scope.
20
What details are required for a fast Stainless Steel 304 Square Bar quotation?
Send product name, complete grade and standard, square side size, length, piece quantity and total tonnage. Add finish and tolerance, make preference, MTC, inspection or testing, cutting drawing, delivery postcode or destination port, Incoterm and required delivery date.
