Product Overview

Popular as it is, Stainless Steel Spheres Water Feature is a water feature or fountain where the stainless steel ball made of #201 #304 or #316 stainless steel sits in a pedestal tube while the water flow over the reflective mirror surface of the stainless steel sphere. These Stainless Steel Sphere Water Features are ideal for both public and private space such as shopping centers, lobbies,city squares, science museums,shopping centers, lobbies,city squares and even gardens.

Production Processes:

The Stainless Steel Ball Water Feature is made by water pressured to a raw finished steel balls with durable AISI304 stainless steel alloy.Then making a funnel shaped hole on the top and drilling a bottom hole which for welding the water flow tube inside the steel balls. finally grind off welding seams and mirror polishing it to a silver ball water feature.

Key Benefits

  • Material:
  • AISI/SUS/SS 201/304/316 Stainless Steel
  • Diameter:
  • 25mm-5000mm or as customized
  • Thickness:
  • 0.8mm-2mm or as customized

Application Scenarios

  • City squares and public plazas
  • Shopping centres and lobbies
  • Science museums and tourist destinations
  • Gardens and courtyards

Who It Is For

  • Landscape architects designing plaza and garden water features
  • Shopping centre and hotel developers
  • Science museums and visitor attractions
  • Private garden clients through their contractor

Problems It Solves

  • Water running down one face instead of sheeting evenly. The funnel top fixes the flow distribution.
  • Mounting a heavy wet sphere. A square base plate and extended pipe are built into the assembly.
  • Water marks on a mirror finish. A brushed surface hides mineral deposits and adds texture.

Technical Features

  • Drilling and tapping in metric and unified threads on request
  • Base plates, pedestal tubes and hanging fittings fabricated with the piece
  • Sheet development calculated in house, so non-standard sizes are possible above ∅200mm

Materials

We form spheres and hemispheres in AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 316L stainless steel, Q235 carbon steel, H62 brass alloy and A6061 aluminium alloy. The alloy decides corrosion resistance, weight and how the surface takes a polish.

For this product the standard specification is AISI 304 / AISI 316 stainless steel. Tell us the site conditions and we will confirm whether a different grade is worth the cost.

Manufacturing Process

Forming happens by stamping press, water pressuring, spinning or hand assembling. Two halves are joined at the equator, the weld is ground, and the surface is finished last, after any cutting or drilling has been done.

How a metal sphere is made Sheet is cut into blanks, formed into two hemispheres by stamping press, spinning or water pressuring, welded at the equator, ground, then mirror polished into a finished sphere.

Quality Control

  1. Incoming material

    Alloy and sheet thickness are checked against the order before any blank is cut.

  2. Forming check

    Diameter and wall are measured after pressing, spinning or water pressuring.

  3. Weld and grind

    The equator weld is inspected, then welds and burrs are ground off before finishing.

  4. Surface inspection

    Every piece is inspected for scratches, dents and polish consistency under light.

  5. Packing

    Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight, and photographs are sent before dispatch.

Customisation Options

  • Diameter and wall thickness to your drawing, with no mould limit above ∅200mm
  • Metric and unified threaded holes, drilled apertures and perforated patterns
  • Welded base tubes, base plates, internal ribs and pedestals
  • Mirror, brushed, sandblasted, etched, electroplated, PVD colour or spray painted finishes
  • Logos, lettering and world maps by sandblasting, etching, laser cutting or plasma cutting
  • LED kits fitted inside the sphere
  • Segmentation into quarters or eighths for sizes above container limits

Use Guide

  1. Confirm the diameter first

    Diameter drives the forming route, the wall thickness, the price and the freight mode. Settle it before anything else.

  2. Match the alloy to the site

    304 inland, 316 near salt water or pools, Q235 where a rust patina is wanted, brass or aluminium where weight or colour matters.

  3. Choose the finish last

    Finishing always happens after forming, welding, cutting and grinding, so pattern edges stay clean.

  4. Plan the fixing

    Tell us whether the piece is bolted, threaded, welded to a base tube or suspended, and we build the fitting into the part.

  5. Check the shipping limit

    ∅2200mm fits a container, ∅3500mm fits a flat rack, and larger spheres are segmented with bolted ribs.

FAQ

Do you supply the pump?
The sphere, inner pipe, funnel, outlet pipe and base plate are fabricated by us. Pump selection is normally handled locally to match your water volume and power supply.
Mirror or brushed for a fountain?
Brushed gives the fountain more texture and is more forgiving with water marks. Mirror gives the strongest reflection. Both are standard.
Can I order 1000mm Hollow Ball Fountain Stainless Steel Sphere Water Feature in a different size?
Yes above ∅200mm, where there is no standard mould limit. Below ∅250mm a customised size needs a new stamping press mould, charged at USD 1,000.
How is it packed and shipped?
Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight. Samples and small orders go by DHL, UPS, FedEx or Aramex in 3 to 7 days. Larger orders go by air in around 3 days to your airport or by sea in 15 to 30 days.
What do you need from me to quote?
Diameter, wall thickness, material, finish, quantity and delivery country. A drawing or a photo helps and can be sent over WhatsApp.
