316 / 316L STAINLESS STEEL PIPE

316 / 316L STAINLESS STEEL PIPE

TW Metals, a trusted metals pipe supplier, offers a range of 316/316L stainless steel pipes, with an inventory tailored to meet industry requirements. These grades of austenitic stainless steel offer many of the same characteristics and advantages as 304/304L, but they have an added element that elevates their corrosion resistance: molybdenum. At TW Metals, we prioritize the quality and reliability of our products, with most of our inventory being dual-grade specified or with multiple specifications, including ASTM, ASME, MIL-P, and the European standard PED 97/23EC.

COMMON INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS FOR 316/316L STAINLESS STEEL PIPE

316/316L stainless steel pipe can withstand elevated temperatures longer than grade 304/304L, has better corrosion resistance, and offers excellent weldability. It has many applications:

  • Chemical: chemical containers, pressure vessels, and industrial equipment
  • Water treatment: woven or welded screens for water filtration
  • Pulp and paper: used in paper machines to avoid iron contamination.
  • Automotive: threaded fasteners, springs, and furnace parts
