Applications for ASTM A312 Grade 304l are varied. They are mainly used in the food and beverage industry, cryogenic applications, sanitary and pressure vessel applications. Due to the low carbon content in ASME SA312, Type 304l is lower in strength than regular 304 material. Nevertheless, 304l stainless steel pipe is widely used for corrosion resistance. There are different variants such as 304l Schedule 10 Stainless Steel Tube which indicates a specific wall thickness to diameter. 304l stainless steel seamless pipe and 304l welded pipe are available as required for unique applications. We manufacture 304l Schedule 40 pipes as well as other schedules and pressure ratings for these pipes. After contacting us, you can get a complete product list.
304L belongs to American Standard austenitic stainless steel. It is a common material in stainless steel with a density of 7.93 g/cm. Also known in the industry as 18/8 stainless steel. High temperature resistance of 800 ℃, has the characteristics of good processing performance and high toughness, and is widely used in industry, furniture decoration industry and food and medical industry.
