ss316 stainless steel tube
SS316 stainless steel tube represents a premium grade austenitic stainless steel product that offers exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. This versatile material contains higher levels of nickel and molybdenum compared to standard stainless steel grades, making it particularly resistant to chlorides and other aggressive chemicals. The tube's composition typically includes 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, resulting in superior performance in demanding environments. SS316 tubes are manufactured through precise cold drawing or welding processes, ensuring consistent quality and dimensional accuracy. These tubes maintain their structural integrity across a wide temperature range, from cryogenic conditions to elevated temperatures up to 870°C. The material's non-magnetic properties and excellent formability make it ideal for various industrial applications, including chemical processing, marine environments, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing equipment. The tubes come in various sizes and wall thicknesses, offering flexibility in design and application. Their smooth surface finish minimizes product adherence and facilitates easy cleaning, making them particularly suitable for sanitary applications.
