Stainless Steel Tubes
RSP Group is an experienced austenitic stainless steel tube supplier. We provide various types of products such as duplex stainless steel tube, structure stainless steel pipe, and thin wall stainless steel water pipe.
Containing a high concentration of chromium and nickel, our non-magnetic austenitic
stainless steel tube which is usually made of the well-known 300 series iron-chromium-nickel
steels, features excellent resistance to corrosion and superior mechanical behavior.
Due to its unusually fine cold workability, our product can be greatly hardened
by cold processing rather than heat treatment.
TYPE 304
As the most common austenitic stainless steel or grade which contains about 18%
chromium and 8% nickel, it is applicable for chemical processing equipment, food
and beverage industry, and heat exchanger.
TYPE 316
Apart from the contents like 16% to 18% chromium and 11% to 14% nickel, Type 316
is also infused with at least 2% molybdenum to prevent pit type attack. Therefore,
it is widely applied to chemical processing industry, pulp and paper industry, food
and beverage industry, or other corrosive environment.
TYPE 317
Featuring higher molybdenum content no less than 3% as compared to 316, it is suitable
for extremely corrosive environment like stacks containing scrubbers.
TYPE 317 L
It has the maximum carbon content of 0.030% and maximum silicon content of 0.75%
to offer excellent anti-corrosion performance.
TYPE 317 LM
It contains at least 4.00% molybdenum content.
TYPE 317 LMN
It comes with molybdenum content no more than 4.00% as well as nitrogen content
no more than 0.15%.
TYPE 321 AND 347
These grades mainly applicable for the aircraft industry feature excellent anti-corrosion
property. Type 321 is added with titanium, as well as Type 347 contains the additions
like tantalum and columbium.
GRADES:
1. Straight grade austenitic stainless steel tube has the carbon content up to 0.08%.
2. L grade type contains no more than 0.03% carbon without carbide precipitation,
and features excellent resistance to corrosion. However, it is more expensive and
imparts great physical strength at elevated temperature. Commonly, it is dual certified
such as 304/304L, 316/316L.
3. H grade stainless steel pipe possesses the carbon content ranging from 0.04%
to 0.10%. Therefore, it can be used at high temperature. For instance, it is suitable
for the application where annealing after welding is out of commission.
