The elements used in the manufacture of any grade Stainless Steel Pipe improves its longevity along with enhancing several of its properties such as corrosion resistance, increased tensile strength & durability. Therefore various grade Stainless Steel Welded Pipe such as alloys 304, 316, 310 etc are used in highly demanding applications involving industries like water, marine, pulp and paper industry, chemical processing, oil and gas, petrochemicals etc.
When alloy grade 316 is used in the manufacture of ASTM A312 Stainless Steel boiler pipe, the resultant pipe can be used in not only high temperature applications, but also general corrosive service. This is because grade 316 electropolished stainless steel pipe has improved resistance to corrosion and is often referred to as a marine grade stainless steel alloy. On the other hand, those applications which are less demanding can use alloy grade 304, which although is known to have advantageous properties, is not as good at resisting corrosion in comparison to its austenitic counterpart grade 316 Stainless Steel Pipe.
However, it is important to note that due to its affordability as well as enhanced properties, the specified grade 304 ASME B36.19 stainless steel pipe is quite versatile and is considered to be very popular choice of metal in many applications. For instance, in the food industry, particularly the dairy industry uses stainless steel dairy pipe in the processing of acid containing items such as milk. Additionally, the factory uses high temperatures to treat these food groups followed by rapid cooling. Hence this alloy grade 304 or grade 316 ASTM A312 specified high temperature stainless steel seamless pipe needs to be able to withstand both high as well as low temperature settings.
