What moves the price
For stainless steel tube, the drivers are hole count, material, length, flexibility, connector type, temperature resistance, diameter, corrugated vs smooth — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing is mostly quoted in USD/ton or USD/kg for bulk stainless tube, with examples spanning roughly $1,000-$6,000/ton depending on grade, seam type, and size; that implies about $1.0-$6.0/kg before conversion to a finished part. The biggest price drivers are alloy (304 vs 316 vs 201), seamless versus welded, wall thickness/OD, and whether the tube is cut, bent, flared, coated, or certified to automotive specs. Realistic sourcing routes are mill-direct stainless tube producers, trade-platform exporters, and US-facing metal distributors that can quote cut-to-length or custom tubing at landed-equivalent pricing.
