TP316L 1" BWG16 Stainless Steel Pipes With ASME SA249
Product Introduction
The TP316L Stainless Steel Pipe, manufactured according to ASME SA249, is a high-performance welded austenitic stainless steel tube specifically designed for demanding industrial environments. With a size of 1 inch (BWG16 wall thickness), it offers outstanding corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability. Produced by Wuxi Korer Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., these pipes are ideal for use in heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, fluid pipelines, and chemical processing equipment.
Applications
- Heat exchangers and condensers in power plants and refineries
- Chemical and petrochemical fluid transportation systems
- Food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing lines
- Marine and desalination facilities
- High-purity and high-temperature piping systems
Advantages
- Excellent resistance to chloride corrosion and pitting
- Low carbon content (316L) minimizes carbide precipitation during welding
- High temperature and pressure performance
- Smooth internal finish ensures low contamination and high flow efficiency
- Fully meets ASME SA249 / ASTM A249 standards for industrial use
