Key Attributes
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal environments or de-icing salts accelerate pitting in TP 316Ti without proper passivation.
- Intergranular Corrosion: Improper welding of TP 321 without post-weld annealing leads to chromium carbide formation.
- Surface Contamination: Iron particles from cutting tools or grease disrupt the passive oxide layer.
- 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.
