Key Features
-
Superior Corrosion Resistance:
- Molybdenum content (2-3%) prevents pitting in chloride, sulfuric acid, and marine environments.
- Low carbon (≤0.03%) minimizes carbide precipitation during welding.
-
High-Temperature Performance:
- Retains strength up to 925°C, suitable for heat exchangers and boilers.
-
Surface Finishes:
- Sanitary finishes: Mirror polish, pickling, or brushed surfaces for food/pharmaceutical compliance.
- Standard finishes: 2B, BA, or annealed.
-
Certifications:
- ISO 9001, ASTM, ASME, and NABL test reports.
Technical Details
Tensile & Bend Strength
316L stainless steel exhibits a tensile strength of ≥485 MPa and yield strength of ≥170 MPa, ensuring structural integrity under high stress. Its ductility (≥40% elongation) allows bending without fracture, making it ideal for complex piping layouts.
Weight Calculation Formula
Weight per meter (kg/m) = (OD – Wall Thickness) × Wall Thickness × 0.0248
Example: For a schedule 40s stainless steel pipe dimensions (OD 6.625", thickness 0.28"):
Weight = (6.625 – 0.28) × 0.28 × 0.0248 ≈ 19.16 kg/m.
Identification Marking
All pipes are laser-etched with:
- ASTM/ASME standard (e.g., ASTM A312).
- Grade (316L), OD, thickness, heat number, and manufacturer’s logo.
Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?
While 316L resists rust better than 304, prolonged exposure to:
- Chloride-rich environments (e.g., seawater) exceeding 500 ppm.
- Mechanical damage (scratches or improper welding) disrupting the chromium oxide layer.
- High temperatures (>925°C) causing oxidation.
Price & Packaging
- pipe stainless steel price: Starts at $3.50/kg for bulk orders (varies by size, schedule, and finish).
