304H Stainless Steel Pipes by TISCO Steel Group (Jiangsu)

TISCO Steel Group (Jiangsu) Co., Limited is your trusted partner for premium stainless steel solutions. As a leading distributor, we have direct access to top-tier mills including TISCO, Tsingshan, BAOSTEEL, and ANSTEEL, ensuring a reliable supply of the highest quality materials. Our stringent quality control and expert logistics guarantee that your orders arrive on time and to specification, every time.

Why Choose 304H Stainless Steel Pipes?
304H is the high-carbon variant of the classic 304 grade. The elevated carbon content enhances its strength and, most importantly, its resistance to sensitization and excellent creep strength at elevated temperatures (up to ~815°C / 1500°F). This makes it the ideal choice for high-temperature applications such as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, superheaters, and piping systems in power generation, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries.

However, it is crucial to note that its higher carbon content slightly reduces its formability and weldability compared to 304/L. For applications where welding is extensive and operating temperatures are lower, 304L is often preferred to avoid carbide precipitation.

We provide a comprehensive range of 304H pipes with full Mill Test Certification (MTC) traceable to the original mill, ensuring compliance with international standards. Our technical team is on hand to help you select the right material for your project, balancing performance, cost, and longevity.

FAQ

  1. What is the main difference between 304, 304L, and 304H?
    The key difference is carbon content. 304H has a higher carbon content (0.04-0.10%) for high-temperature strength, while 304L has a lower carbon content (≤0.030%) to prevent sensitization during welding. Standard 304 sits in between.

  2. What is the maximum continuous service temperature for 304H?
    It can be used in continuous service at temperatures up to approximately 815°C (1500°F).

  3. Is 304H stainless steel weldable?
    Yes, but it is susceptible to carbide precipitation (sensitization) in the heat-affected zone. For applications in corrosive environments post-welding, it may require solution annealing or the use of low-carbon filler metals.

  4. Do you provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC)?
    Yes, we supply a complete MTC with every shipment, providing traceability and verifying compliance to the specified standards.

  5. What applications is 304H most suitable for?
    It is ideal for high-temperature applications like pressure vessels, heat exchanger tubes, boiler systems, and superheaters in power plants and refineries.

  6. Can you supply customized sizes and lengths?
    Absolutely. We can provide pipes cut to length and in various schedules (wall thicknesses) to meet your specific project requirements.

  7. What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
    Our standard MOQ is 2 tons, but we can accommodate smaller orders for sample testing or specific projects. Please contact us to discuss.

  8. What forms of payment do you accept?
    We accept T/T (Wire Transfer), Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C), and other secure payment methods.

  9. What is the typical lead time?
    For standard sizes in stock, lead time is short. For large or custom orders, we will provide a precise production schedule upon inquiry.

  10. How do you ensure the pipes are protected during shipping?
    We use export-worthy packaging with VCI rust-proof paper, wooden crates, and end caps to prevent damage during international transit.

Additional Services

We provide value-added services including rough machining, heat treatment, cutting, machining, rolling, welding, and surface treatment to ensure your finished product is delivered ready for finishing. All forgings are rough machined according to your specifications and include Mill Test Reports (MTR), Mechanical and Physical Property Reports, as well as Ultrasonic, X-Ray, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) reports (as ordered or specified).
