TOBO supplies ASTM A403 WP316L low carbon stainless steel reducing tees, the welding-optimized variant of 316. With maximum carbon content of 0.03%, WP316L eliminates the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding without requiring post-weld heat treatment, making it the ideal choice for field-fabricated piping systems in corrosive service.
