Stainless Steel 316 Pipes Manufacturers & Suppliers in India

Lakshya Steel is a leading supplier of stainless steel 316 pipes. known for their excellent resistance to corrosion because of the molybdenum in them. Stainless Steel 316 Pipes provide superior protection against pitting and crevice corrosion when compared to 304 stainless steel products. Stainless Steel 316 pipes are engineered to deliver a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa a yield strength of 200 MPa, and a sturdy density of 8000 kg/m³. The standard wall thickness ranges from 0.5 mm to 6.35 mm.

The above qualities of SS 316 pipes make them ideal for applications requiring a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, yield strength of 200 MPa, and a robust density of 8000 kg/m³, which is the typical density of stainless steel 316. The wall thickness of these pipes typically ranges from 0.5 mm to 6.35 mm, catering to a variety of industrial needs.

High-Quality 316 Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless Steel 316 Pipe is an austenitic stainless steel grade pipe that has good resistance to chloride ion corrosion stress cracking. Our 316 Pipe Heat Exchanger is built to handle high temperatures, with a melting point of 2,500 °F, ensuring it performs well even under extreme conditions. The ASTM A312 Gr TP 316 Polished Pipe is cold-rolled after the initial process, giving it a smooth surface and strong resistance to wear. Available in various sizes and diameters, the AISI 316 Pipe may become less workable as temperatures and pressure increase. The 1.4401 SS 316 SCH 10 Pipe is made for low-pressure situations, with thicknesses up to 0.312 inches and diameters up to 36 inches.

The density of Stainless Steel 316 is approximately 8.0 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). This makes it a relatively dense material, contributing to its strength and durability. Stainless Steel 316 is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments, which makes it ideal for marine and chemical processing applications. The density of Stainless Steel 316 plays a key role in its structural integrity and performance in various demanding applications.

Stainless Steel 316 Chemical Composition

Stainless Steel 316 Pipe has higher molybdenum content than 304, offering better corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments. It also provides better strength and performance at elevated temperatures. The increased nickel content in 316 further enhances its toughness and ductility, making it more resilient in demanding applications. Additionally, the inclusion of elements like chromium and manganese contributes to its excellent weldability and formability, ensuring security in both structural and pressure-bearing uses. This composition makes Stainless steel 316 an ideal choice for industries such as marine, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals, where durability and resistance to corrosion are crucial.

Types of Stainless Steel 316 Pipes

Stainless Steel 316 pipes come in various types to suit different applications. The wall thickness ranges from 0.5mm to 6.35mm, and the length can be customized based on specific requirements. The main types of 316 pipes include:

Stainless Steel 316 Seamless Pipes

Stainless Steel 316 seamless pipes are manufactured without any welding, providing superior strength and durability. These pipes offer excellent resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh environments, including marine and chemical industries. With a smooth internal surface and reliable performance, SS 316 seamless pipes are perfect for high-pressure applications and various industrial processes. The SS 316 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe ranges in outer diameter from ½ inches to 16 inches and the welded pipes range up to 24 inches and the electric fusion welded pipes range up to 100 inches.

Stainless Steel 316 Welded Pipes

316 stainless steel welded pipes offer enhanced corrosion resistance due to molybdenum content, making them ideal for harsh environments. They’re strong, durable, and cost-effective compared to seamless pipes, but require quality welding for optimal performance.

Stainless Steel 316 ERW Pipes

316 ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) stainless steel pipes, conforming to ASTM A312 specifications, are well-suited for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. Their excellent corrosion resistance, thanks to the molybdenum content, makes them ideal for demanding uses such as pollution control, wastewater purification, seawater desalination, and various marine applications.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel pipes?

The main difference is the addition of molybdenum in 316, which significantly enhances its corrosion resistance, particularly against pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments. 316 is also generally better suited for higher temperatures.

Are 316 stainless steel pipes weldable?

Yes, 316 stainless steel pipes are readily weldable. 316L is preferred for welding to minimize the risk of carbide precipitation.

What is the pressure rating of 316 stainless steel pipes?

The pressure rating depends on the pipe’s size, schedule (wall thickness), and temperature.

How do I clean 316 stainless steel pipes?

Regular cleaning with soap and water is usually sufficient. For more stubborn stains, specialized stainless steel cleaners can be used. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

Can 316 stainless steel pipes rust?
