In piping and tubing systems, pipe fittings are heavily used to adjust the flow path, connect auxiliary equipment, increase or decrease the bore diameter to control the flow of fluid in piping systems. In industries such as Buttweld, Socket Weld, Threaded Forged and Ferrule Pipe Fittings, different types of pipe fittings are used. To boost desired properties, alloys are often added to steel. Marine-grade stainless steel is resistant to many kinds of corrosive conditions, called type 316.
There are different types of 316 stainless steel. Some common forms are the L, F, N, and H varieties. Each is slightly separate, and each is used for various purposes. Type 316 steel is a stainless steel austenitic chromium-nickel that contains between two and 3 percent molybdenum. The content of molybdenum increases corrosion resistance, enhances pitting resistance in chloride ion solutions and increases strength at elevated temperatures.
Type 316 grade stainless steel fittings is particularly effective in acidic environments. In order to protect against corrosion caused by sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, and formic and tartaric acids, as well as acid sulphates and alkaline chlorides, this grade of steel is successful.
Due to the lower carbon content, 316L Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings exhibit strong shaping and welding properties. We make different types of pipe fittings using these stainless steel grades, including 316 Stainless Steel Socket Weld Fittings, 316L Stainless Steel Buttweld Pipe Fittings, 316 Stainless Steel Threaded Forged Pipe Fittings and Ferrule Fittings, etc.
In chloride environments, our Stainless Steel Grade 316L Pipe Fittings are recognized for their especially high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Austenitic stainless steels with high creep & stress rupture resistance, as well as tensile strength, of the 316L Pipe Fittings chromium-nickel. These 316L Pipe Fittings are free from sensitization and are therefore used in components welded to the heavy gauge. In many businesses, such as marine, pharmaceutical, architectural, medical, our 316L SS Pipe Fittings are used.
These 316 SS pipe fittings are used for the construction of exhaust manifolds, furnace parts, heat exchangers, jet engine parts, pharmaceutical and photographic equipment, valve and pump parts, chemical processing equipment, tanks, and evaporators, typical applications for type 316 stainless steel are included. It is also used in manufacturing equipment for the pulp, paper, and textiles and for all parts exposed to the marine environment.
