Key Attributes

  1. Heat and Corrosion Resistance

    • TP 316Ti: Titanium-stabilized to prevent carbide precipitation during welding, ideal for stainless steel flex pipe in acidic environments (e.g., sulfuric acid handling) and marine applications.
    • TP 321: Enhanced with titanium to resist intergranular corrosion in welded components, perfect for corrugated stainless steel pipe systems in power plants and chemical processing.
  2. Mechanical Strength

    • Tensile Strength: Both grades maintain structural integrity under extreme stress. TP 316Ti excels in chloride-rich settings, while TP 321 withstands cyclic thermal loads in boilers.
    • Bend Strength: TP 321’s ductility allows cold bending without cracking, ideal for complex 304 stainless steel pipe retrofit projects.
  3. Versatility

    • Compatible with stainless steel flex pipe for vibration damping in automotive exhausts and HVAC systems.
    • Corrugated stainless steel pipe solutions offer flexibility for seismic-prone regions and underground gas distribution.

Weight Calculation

The weight of stainless steel pipes is calculated using:

Where:

  • : Outer Diameter (mm)
  • : Wall Thickness (mm)

Example: A 304 stainless steel pipe with 50 mm OD and 3 mm wall thickness weighs 3.48 kg/m.


Identification & Marking

  • Laser Etching: ASTM/EN standards, heat number, and alloy grade (e.g., "TP316Ti" or "TP321").
  • Color Coding: Optional bands for quick identification in industrial inventory systems.

Why Do Stainless Steel Pipes Rust?

Despite their corrosion-resistant properties, rust can occur due to:

  1. Chloride Exposure: Coastal environments or de-icing salts accelerate pitting in TP 316Ti without proper passivation.
  2. Intergranular Corrosion: Improper welding of TP 321 without post-weld annealing leads to chromium carbide formation.
  3. Surface Contamination: Iron particles from cutting tools or grease disrupt the passive oxide layer.
  4. Low-Quality Alloys: Substandard titanium or molybdenum content reduces resistance to reducing acids.

Applications

  • TP 316Ti: Chemical reactors, offshore oil platforms, and stainless steel flex pipe for industrial exhausts.
  • TP 321: Aerospace fuel lines, nuclear power plant coolant systems, and corrugated stainless steel pipe for gas distribution.
