Stainless steel pipes are generally used for transporting fluids and gases and are specified by nominal pipe size (NPS) and schedule. Stainless steel tubes are measured by exact outside diameter and wall thickness and are commonly used in structural, mechanical, and instrumentation applications.
The main types of stainless steel pipes include seamless pipes, welded pipes, ERW pipes, EFW pipes, and fabricated pipes. These are available in various grades such as 304, 316, 321, 347, and 904L for different industrial requirements.
A stainless steel pipe is a hollow cylindrical product manufactured from corrosion-resistant steel alloys containing chromium. It is widely used in oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, food processing, and construction industries.
The four primary categories of stainless steel are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and duplex stainless steel. Each type offers unique properties such as corrosion resistance, strength, heat resistance, and weldability.
SS 316 is generally considered superior to SS 304 in corrosive environments because it contains molybdenum, which improves resistance to chlorides and chemicals. SS 304 is more economical and suitable for general-purpose applications.
Steel pipes are primarily designed for fluid and gas transportation and are sized by nominal diameter. Steel tubes are manufactured to tighter dimensional tolerances and are commonly used in structural, engineering, and precision applications.
