What is stainless steel 317l pipe?
Stainless pipes and pipes are used extensively in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. There are different materials used to make the pipes. The metals range from ferritic, austenitic, duplex stainless steels, and other high alloy materials. The Stainless Steel 317L Pipe is made up of austenitic stainless steel with high chromium and nickel content. It is a prescribed material for high temperatures and high corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel 317l vs 316l
The 317 has more nickel, chromium, and molybdenum in the composition. Both grades have low carbon content making them easy to weld, but the ss 317l Welded Pipe has more resistance to oxidation. The 317 grade is particularly resistant to chloride and halide corrosion. The chloride pitting resistance and rusting makes the ss Grade 317l ERW Pipe better to be used in chemical processing applications than the 316 grade.
What are the properties of ss 317l pipe?
The material has 18% chromium, 11% nickel, 2% manganese, silicon, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus in the composition. The 317l stainless steel pipe ranges from 0.5inches to 16 inches in outer diameter. The pipes are made as seamless, erw, welded, fabricated, and LSAW. The SS 317l pipe has plain, beveled, and threaded ends. The minimum yield strength is 205MPa and the tensile strength is 515MPa.
Which color coating is applied on 317l ss pipe?
Depending on the application, any color could be used on the pipe. But the paints to be used on the 317l stainless steel pipe have specifications. The paints have to be adhesives and not be removed under high temperatures. If the pipes are to operate at 1035° Celsus intermittent services, then the paint has to withstand that temperature. For the Stainless Steel 317l Seamless pipe that has to operate under different conditions, there are other methods of coating.
What is 317l ss pipe beveling?
317l ss pipe can have different pipe ends. The pipe ends to facilitate the connection of the pipes with other components and pipes in the system. The pipe ends range from plain, beveled to threaded ends. WNR 1.4438 Seamless pipe beveled ends facilitate the correct fitting of pipes at the welding points. The beveling is slop in the thickness of the pipe at both ends to enable settlement of the UNS S31703 welded pipe in the supposed position.
Why is a 317l seamless pipe suitable for only low-pressure applications?
Since the pipe has high malleability and elongation capacity, it is better to be used in low-pressure applications. High-pressure applications can deform the ss 317l Seamless Pipe from the inside. The toughness of the pipe is low because of the low carbon content. For high-pressure applications, a high carbon variation of the same grade or other suitable grades might be used.
