Stainless Steel pipe fittings 316 pipe bend offers superior corrosion resistance
Grade 316 pipe bend also has given excellent service in potable water. Pitting and crevice corrosion may occur in waters with higher chloride content, and 2000 ppm is accepted as the upper limit. The higher molybdenum content of 316 make it significantly more corrosion resistant than grade 304.
UNS S31600/S31603 commonly known as Stainless Steel 316/316L Dual Certified is the low carbon content version of Stainless Steel 316. Stainless Steel 316/316L Dual Certified is used in heavy-gage welded products (over approximately 6mm). 316 and 316L stainless steel beams find use in structural applications across a wide range of industries. As stainless steel demonstrates excellent strength and corrosion resistance, it is an ideal material for environments that contain corrosive chemicals or experience extreme temperature changes. When used in such applications, stainless steel beams create structures that are safe, efficient to build, and cost-effective. For applications where chloride exposure is part of the job, both 316 and 316L boast excellent corrosion resistance. That¡¯s because both grades composition, which include nickel and molybdenum, allow the alloys to stand up to acids and chloride without compromise. Because of their superior corrosion resistance, both metals are one of the few considered a ¡°marine grade stainless steel.¡±
