Stainless Steel 316 Pipe
The stainless steel 316 Pipe is popular in applications where high standards of corrosion, strength, and durability are needed in a hostile environment. We also provide quality SS 316 pipe and 316L stainless steel pipe in seamless and welded pipe of manufacturing as per ASTM A312 TP316 / TP316L specifications. To satisfy different industry needs, these pipes come in different sizes, schedules such as Schedule 40 and Schedule 80, and surface finishes. The seamless pipe is SS 316, which is highly preferred in high pressure and critical services, and the welded option is cost-effective. In our 316 stainless steel pipe, the pipe is commonly applied in the chemical processing system, marine, pharmaceutical, food processing, and heat exchanger systems, where reliability and performance are critical.

ASTM A312 TP316 Pipe Specification
The ASTM A312 comes in welded and seamless austenitic stainless steel pipes that are suitable for high-temperature and corrosive environments. The ASTM A312 TP316 grades provide great strength and corrosion resistance, and they are also referred to as SA 312 TP 316, which is equivalent to ASME Specification.

Stainless Steel 316L Pipe
The key to making a decision based on the use of 316L or 316 stainless steel pipe is the amount of carbon used in the manufacturing of this type of pipe, because it is less than that of the standard SS 316 pipe, and, therefore, it minimizes carbide precipitation during the welding process and the potential occurrence of intergranular corrosion. This renders 316L pipe specifications to be good in the applications where high weldability and high durability are required. ASTM A312 TP316L pipes are usually chosen by buyers of the chemical, marine, and pharmaceutical industries with high requirements when it comes to long-term corrosion resistance. Projects requiring seamless or welded suppliers of ss 316 pipe choose 316L, which is more efficient in adverse conditions.

Applications of Stainless Steel 316 Pipe
The stainless steel 316 pipes are used by different industries to make their equipment, and some of the common industries are given below.

- Marine and Seawater Lines : Applied in seawater intake, cooling lines, and coastal installations because it is very resistant to saltwater corrosion and pitting.
- chemical processing and the chloride service : Appropriate for dealing with chlorides, acids, and corrosive chemicals in reactors, transfer lines, and process piping.
- Condensers and Heat Exchangers : Frequently used in heat exchangers and condensers to provide stable operation with thermal cycling, as well as corrosive media.
- Pharma and Clean Process Piping : In the pharmaceutical industry, it is preferred in the manufacture of hygienic, corrosion-resistant piping that meets clean process requirements.
- Sanitary Lines- Food and Beverage : Applied in sanitary piping systems where resistance against corrosion, cleanliness, and adherence to the food-grade standards are of great importance.
- Pulp and Paper Bleach Environments : It grows well in bleach plants and pulp processing, where chlorides and harsh chemicals are present most of the time.
SS 316 Pipe Manufacturer India
Stainless Steel 316 pipe suppliers with project and export needs follow up on all documentation, quality control, and logistics preparedness. Every consignment is issued with an MTC (Mill Test Certificate) according to the EN 10204, and PMI testing to verify the grade of the material. UT and hydro testing are performed on pipes in order to meet pressure and integrity standards. Third-party inspection is organized according to the client’s/project’s specifications. Goods are safely packed to avoid transit damage and are ready to be transported to the port, which means that it meets international shipping and export standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
The price of SS 316 pipe per kg depends on pipe size, thickness, finish, and current nickel market rates. Bulk orders usually get better pricing.
SS 316L is generally preferred, especially for welded applications, because its lower carbon content reduces the risk of corrosion after welding.
ASTM A312 TP316 is a standard specification for stainless steel pipes used in high-temperature and corrosive environments.
A weight chart helps you calculate the total pipe weight based on diameter, wall thickness, and length, making costing and logistics easier.
Schedule 40 indicates a common wall thickness suitable for general industrial and moderate-pressure applications.
Seamless pipes are better for high-pressure or critical services, while ERW pipes are a cost-effective choice for standard applications.
