ASTM A182 F316L Stainless Steel Forged Pipe Fittings, BSPP Threaded Coupling 3000LBS

F316L is a grade of stainless steel, specifically a low carbon version of stainless steel grade 316. ASTM A182 F316L coupling would be a coupling made from this specific grade of stainless steel, suitable for high-temperature service applications. A stainless steel pipe coupling is a fitting used to connect two sections of stainless steel pipe together. It is designed to create a tight and secure seal between the pipes, preventing leaks or damage. Stainless steel is chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for various applications, including plumbing systems, industrial processes, and construction projects. Stainless steel pipe couplings come in different sizes, shapes, and types, such as threaded, slip-on or compression couplings, depending on the specific requirements of the installation.

ASTM A182 F316L Stainless Steel Threaded Couplings are typically used in many industries like food processing, marine equipment, oil & gas,and cooling water systems as they are forged into Class 3000 & 6000 high pressure ratings.
