In today's market, pipes labeled “304 stainless steel” may actually be made from inferior 201 material—posing risks to quality, safety, and your wallet. Mayer makes it simple with a proven three-step guide to help you spot fakes and choose with confidence. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to genuine quality.

Step 1: Check the labels and reports! Regular pipes must indicate the material (304/316L) and specifications and come with a quality inspection report. All Mayer stainless steel pipes have a clear "304" label and never falsely label their specifications!

Step 2: Test the material! Use a spectrometer to check the chromium and nickel content. For 304 material, it requires 18 - 20% chromium and 8 - 10.5% nickel. Mayer's pipes meet these standards! The test reports are complete.




Step 3: Check the craftsmanship! Inferior pipes have crooked welds with pores and are prone to leakage. Mayer's pipes have smooth welds, pass the flaw detection test, have uniform wall thickness, sufficient strength and are not prone to bursting!
