TP316 Stainless Steel Tubing Seamless Structure Hot / Cold Finished Long Lifespan
316/316L Seamless pipe is used for pressure operations to move liquids or gases in water treatment, waste treatment, petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Structural applications include handrails, poles and support pipe for salt water and corrosive environments. It is not used as often as welded pipe due to its reduced weldability compared to 304 stainless unless its superior corrosion resistance outweighs it decreased weldability.
1. Standards:
ASTM A312 Standard Specification for Seamless, Welded, and Heavily Cold Worked Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes
2. Application:
Refineries; Nuclear Plant; Aerospace Industry; Chemical Fertilizer; Petrochemicals' Oli & Gas and etc.
3. Materials & Manufacture
Pipe shall be either hot finished or cold finished;
The pipe shall be free of scale and contaminating exogenous iron particles. Pickling, blasting, or surface finishing is not mandatory when pipe is bright annealed.
