Stainless Steel pipe and materials
Stainless steel are iron-based alloys usually containing at least 11. 5% chromium. Other elements, nickeI being the most important, may be added in combination with chromium to obtain special properties.
Stainless steels are highly resistant to corrosive attack and to oxidation at high temperatures. in general, resistance to corrosion and oxidation increases progressively, though not proportionately, with the increase in chromium content.
Stainless steel pipe and tubing
are used for a variety of reasons: to resist corrosion and oxidation, to resist high temperatures, for cleanliness and low maintenance costs, and to maintain the purity of materials which come in contact with stainless. The inherent characteristics of stainless steel permits the design of thin wall piping systems without fear of early failure due to corrosion. The use of fusion welding to join such piping eliminates the need for threading.
Stainless steel pipe – Type 304
the most widely used analysis for general corrosive resistant tubing and pipe applications, it is used in chemical plants, refineries, paper mills, and food processing industries.
Type 304 has a maximum carbon content of. 08%. It is not recommended for use in the temperature range between 800° F and 1650° F due to carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries which can result in inter-granular corrosion and early f ailure under certain conditions.
Stainless steel pipe – Type 304L
Is the same as 304 except that a. 03% maximum carbon content is maintained which precludes carbon precipitation and permits the use of this analysis in welded assemblies under more severe corrosive conditions.
Stainless steel pipe – Type 318
is much more resistant to pitting than other chromium nickel alloys due to the addition of 2% to 3% molybdenum. it isparticularly valuable wherever acids, brines, sulphur water, seawater or halogen salts are encountered.
Stainless steel pipe – Type 316
is widely used in the sulphite paper industry and for manufacturing chemical plant apparatus, photographic equipment, and plastics.
Stainless steel pipe – Type 316 L
like 304L, is held to a maximum carbon content of. 03%. This permits its use in welded assemblies without the need of final heat treatment. It is used extensively f or pipe assemblies with welded fitting..
Other fields where stainless steel pipe and tubing are used are: aviation, electronics, automotive, cyrogenic, marine, air conditioning and heating, medical, architectural and textiles.
