Stainless Steel pipe fittings 316 pipe bend ideal for sensitive industries such as food preparation
316 stainless steel pipe bend can be used with seawater, provided precautions are taken to avoid crevice corrosion developing under sediments, precipitation and biofouling, and at designed-in crevices.
Both stainless steels are considered stronger alloys. With their nickel content, they¡¯re able to be fabricated at colder temperatures, and maintain ductility whether they¡¯re roll formed, drawn, or bent. When heat enters the equation, they¡¯re non-hardenable and can easily be passed through a die for shaping. 316 stainless steel comes in several subtypes, such as 316L. Compared to standard 316 stainless steel, 316L contains less carbon, making it better suited for applications involving significant amounts of welding or high temperature environments. Although both 316 and 316L produce durable and long-lasting beams, industry professionals tend to choose 316L for use in corrosive environments, such as are found in marine or building and construction applications.
