Stainless Steel is one of the most popular and used metals for the development of pipes because of its versatile chemical composition and features. Stainless steel pipes are available in a variety of grades, materials and specifications to meet all industrial needs. Stainless Steel 304 304L 304H Pipes and Tubes is one of the most widely used non-magnetic and austenitic stainless steels, suitable for the manufacture of all types of pipes. SS  pipes are available in different types such as seamless, welded and pipe flanges.

Properties of Stainless Steel Pipe

• Austenitic metal: Chromium-nickel alloys.
• Ferritic steel: Plain chromium steel.
• Martensitic steel: Chromium and carbon.
• Precipitation hardening metal: Chromium-nickel.
• Duplex: A combination of austenitic and Ferritic.

Different Grades with their features of Stainless Steel Pipes

• Type 301- Highly ductile, for formed products. Also hardens rapidly during mechanical working. Good weldability. Better wear resistance and fatigue strength than 304.
• Type 302- It has same features of corrosion resistance as 304, with slightly higher strength because of additional carbon.
• Type 303- Easier processing model of 304 way to the addition of sulfur and phosphorus. Therefore, stated as “A1” following International Organization for Standardization ISO 3506.
• Type 304- The maximum not unusualplace grade; the conventional 18/eight SS. Also stated as “A2” through International Organization for Standardization ISO 3506.

Type 309- Better temperature resistance than 304

• Type 316- The 2nd place maximum non-unusual year (after 304); for meals and SS surgical uses; The addition of a molybdenum alloy prevents specific types of corrosion. Also known as marine grade stainless steel because of its high resistance to chloride corrosion than type 304. SS316 is regularly used for constructing nuclear reprocessing plants. Most stainless steel watches are made with this quality. Rolex is an exception as they use.
• Type 904L- 18/10 stainless Steel regularly corresponds to this grade. Also referred to as “A4” by International Organization for Standardization ISO 3506.
• Type 321- Just like to 304 but lower risk of weld decay due to addition of titanium.
