Product Description

 

Product Description

 

1. Standards & Specifications

ASME B36.10M Compliance:

• Governs dimensional requirements (outer diameter, wall thickness) for seamless pipes in high-pressure and high-temperature systems.

  • NPS (Nominal Pipe Size): Standardizes pipe sizes (e.g., NPS 1/2 to NPS 24).

  • Schedule Number: Defines wall thickness (e.g., Sch 10, Sch 40, Sch 80).

• Aligns with ASME B31 series for industrial piping systems (e.g., power plants, chemical processing).
  
  Material Standards:

• 304/304L: ASTM A312 (seamless), ASTM A999 (general specifications).

• 316L: ASTM A312/A999 with added molybdenum (2-3%) for enhanced performance.

 

2. Material Properties

Grade 304/304L

• Composition:

  • 18-20% Chromium (Cr), 8-12% Nickel (Ni), ≤0.08% Carbon (C).

• Key Advantages:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to oxidation, organic acids, and atmospheric conditions.

  • Mechanical Strength: Tensile strength ≥515 MPa, Yield strength ≥205 MPa.

  • Temperature Range: Suitable for -196°C to 870°C (-320°F to 1600°F).

  • Cost-Efficiency: Ideal for general-purpose applications with moderate environmental demands.

Grade 316L

• Composition:

  • 16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Molybdenum (Mo), ≤0.03% C.

• Key Advantages:

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Exceptional performance in chloride-rich environments (e.g., seawater, chemical plants).

  • Mechanical Strength: Comparable to 304, with tensile strength ≥515 MPa.

  • Low Carbon Design: Minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring structural integrity.

  • Temperature Range: Stable from -196°C to 815°C (-320°F to 1500°F).

 

3. Manufacturing Excellence

• Seamless Production Process:

  1. Billet Preparation: High-quality stainless steel billets heated to 1200-1300°C.

  2. Hot Extrusion/Cold Drawing: Forms uniform, weld-free pipes with precise tolerances.

  3. Heat Treatment: Solution annealing optimizes corrosion resistance and ductility.

  4. Surface Finishing: Pickling, polishing, or passivation for smooth, contamination-free surfaces.

• Quality Assurance:

  • Hydrostatic testing (per ASTM A1016) to validate pressure resistance.

  • Non-destructive testing (NDT): Ultrasonic (ASTM E213) or eddy current (ASTM E426) for defect detection.
