316 SS Pipes and Pipe Fittings, 316L SS Pipes and Pipe Fittings
60 Reviews
Product Description:
316 SS pipes and pipe fittings and 316L SS pipes and pipe fittings are premium stainless steel grades recognized for their outstanding corrosion resistance, especially in harsh and marine environments. These grades are widely used across industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and marine engineering for their durability, strength, and resistance to extreme conditions.
316 Stainless Steel Pipes and Pipe Fittings
Grade 316 is an austenitic stainless steel that includes molybdenum, enhancing its corrosion resistance, particularly against chloride ions and pitting.
Key Features
- Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for marine and chloride-rich environments.
- High Strength and Durability: Performs well in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
- Good Weldability: Can be welded without compromising strength or corrosion resistance.
- Hygienic Properties: Suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical applications.
Applications
- Heat exchangers
- Marine and coastal structures
- Chemical and petrochemical processing
- Food and beverage equipment
- Pharmaceutical and medical equipment
316L Stainless Steel Pipes and Pipe Fittings
Grade 316L is the low-carbon version of 316, designed to provide better weldability and minimize the risk of intergranular corrosion.
Key Features
- Low Carbon Content: Reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Comparable to 316, with added resistance to sensitization.
- Excellent Machinability: Easier to machine and fabricate than standard 316.
- Versatility: Performs well in both cryogenic and high-temperature environments.
Applications
- Welded piping systems
- Pharmaceutical and chemical process equipment
- Food processing machinery
- Storage tanks and pressure vessels
- Marine equipment and desalination plants
