Description
ASTM A312 Thin Wall/Light Wall Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes in 304/316/321
ASTM A312 is a specification for seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel pipes that perform well in high temperature and corrosive environments. Austenitic Stainless Steels are non-magnetic stainless steels that contain high levels of chromium and nickel and low levels of carbon. Known for their formability and resistance to corrosion, austenitic steels are the most widely used grade of stainless steel.
What is considered a thin-walled pipe?
Pipes with D/T greater than 20 are referred to as thin-walled pipes, and that with D/T less than 20 are called thick wall pipes.
A312 pipe features:
1. Austenitic Stainless Steel Excellence:
ASTM A312 pipes are made from non-magnetic austenitic stainless steels, renowned for their exceptional chromium and nickel content.
These high levels of chromium and nickel grant unparalleled corrosion resistance and robust durability.
Formability is a hallmark of austenitic steels, making them the top choice for intricate and demanding applications.
2. Seamless and Welded Precision:
ASTM A312 stainless steel pipes are available in both seamless and welded pipes, offering you the freedom to choose the ideal fit for your project.
Seamless pipes ensure a smooth, uninterrupted flow, reducing friction and minimizing the risk of leaks.
Welded pipes are meticulously crafted, ensuring structural integrity even in the most demanding conditions.
Wall Thickness: Sch 5S, Sch 10S, or as per clients' requirement.
Main Grades: 304/L, 304H, 304LN, 321/H, 316L, 316Ti, 316H, 316LN, 316LMOD, 310S, 310H, 317L, 347H, 347HFG, 309S, 904L, S31254 (254SMO) etc.
