1. What is the difference between 304 and 316Ti stainless steel pipes?
316 contains molybdenum (2-3%) for superior corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and acids, making it ideal for marine and chemical applications where 304 might fail.
2. Do your 316Ti pipes come with certifications?
Yes, all pipes include Mill Test Certificates (MTC) verifying compliance with ASTM A312, ASTM A213, and other international standards.
3. Can you provide custom lengths and sizes?
Yes, we supply custom-cut lengths and various schedules (SCH 10S, 40S, 80S) to meet your project specifications.
4. What is the temperature resistance of 316Ti stainless steel pipes?
316Ti pipes perform well in continuous service up to 870°C (1600°F) and intermittent service up to 925°C (1700°F).
5. Are 316Ti stainless steel pipes magnetic?
316Ti is generally non-magnetic when annealed but may exhibit slight magnetism after cold working or welding.
6. What surface finishes are available?
We supply polished (180-grit to mirror), annealed/pickled, and bright annealed finishes.
7. What is the lead time for orders?
Standard orders ship within 7-15 days. Custom requirements may require additional processing time.
8. Do you offer samples for testing?
Yes, we provide free samples for quality verification and testing purposes.
9. What packaging do you use for export?
We use VCI rust-proof paper, plastic end caps, wooden crates, and reinforced steel pallets for international shipping.
10. What industries typically use 316 stainless steel pipes?
Chemical processing, marine/offshore, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and architectural applications in corrosive environments.
