Mechanical & Chemical Properties

Tensile & Bend Strength

  • ​316 Stainless Steel:
    • Ultimate Tensile Strength: ​82,000 psi (565 MPa)
    • Yield Strength: ​37,000 psi (255 MPa)
    • Bend Strength: Withstands 52% elongation before fracture, ideal for high-pressure systems like ​schedule 40 stainless steel pipe.
  • ​304 Stainless Steel:
    • Ultimate Tensile Strength: ​73,000 psi (505 MPa)
    • Yield Strength: ​31,000 psi (215 MPa)
    • Bend Strength: 55% elongation, suitable for structural applications.

Weight Calculation

Calculate the weight of ​stainless steel pipe fittings using:

Example: A 6" ​schedule 40 stainless steel pipe (OD 6.625", ID 6.065") weighs ​19.16 lbs/ft (28.5 kg/m).

 

Identification Marking

Each fitting is laser-etched with:

  • Grade (e.g., ​316L, ​304)
  • Heat Number
  • Compliance Marks (ASTM/ASME)
  • Manufacturer Code.

Causes of Stainless Steel Rusting

While ​stainless steel pipe fittings resist corrosion, rust may occur due to:

  1. ​Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or de-icing agents degrade the chromium oxide layer, causing pitting.
  2. ​Mechanical Damage: Scratches from abrasive tools expose the iron substrate to oxidation.
  3. ​Low Oxygen Environments: Stagnant water prevents oxide layer regeneration.
  4. ​Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with carbon steel in humid conditions triggers electrochemical reactions.

Applications

  • 3 stainless steel exhaust pipe: High-temperature resistance in automotive and aerospace exhaust systems.
  • ​Chemical Processing: 316L fittings resist sulfuric, acetic, and chloride-rich media.
  • ​Marine Systems: ​Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe withstands saltwater corrosion in shipbuilding.
  • ​Oil/Gas Pipelines: ASTM A312-certified fittings for high-pressure drilling and transport.

Manufacturing Process

  1. ​Material Selection: Billets sourced from mills like TSINGSHAN and TISCO.
  2. ​Forming: Cold drawing (±0.05mm tolerance) or hot rolling for large diameters.
  3. ​Heat Treatment: Solution annealing (1,040°C for 304) or aging (480°C for 316L).
  4. ​Surface Finishing: Electro-polishing for Ra ≤ 0.8μm or sandblasting.
  5. ​Quality Assurance: 100% ultrasonic testing and third-party inspections.

Why Choose Our Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings?

  1. ​Premium Alloys: ​316L contains 2–3% molybdenum for marine-grade corrosion resistance.
  2. ​Customization: Tailored sizes (1/4"–80"), thicknesses, and surface finishes.
  3. ​Global Certifications: ASTM, ASME, PED, and NACE compliance.
  4. ​Fast Delivery: Stocked in 3–200mm diameters with 7–15 day lead times.
  5. ​Sustainability: 100% recyclable materials and ISO 14001-certified production.
