316 Welded Stainless Steel Tube ASTM A312 TP316 21.3mm-1219mm OD Industrial Pressure Pipe
Product Overview
Our 316 welded stainless steel tubes provide a cost-effective alternative to seamless pipe without compromising on quality. Manufactured per ASTM A312 TP316 specification, these tubes feature post-weld heat treatment and 100% NDT inspection for pressure-critical applications.
Key Features
- Large Diameter Capability: Available in sizes up to 1219mm OD, filling the gap where seamless production is limited or uneconomical
- Fully Tested Weld Seam: Every weld seam undergoes ultrasonic or radiographic inspection per ASTM standards
- Cost-Effective Alternative: Welded construction reduces material cost by 15-30% compared to seamless for large diameters
- Post-Weld Annealing: Heat treatment restores corrosion resistance at the weld zone
Applications
Widely used in chemical processing plants, water treatment facilities, oil and gas transmission lines, power generation condensers, and pulp and paper mill piping systems.
Quality Assurance
All tubes undergo hydrostatic pressure testing, eddy current weld seam inspection, PMI verification, and dimensional checks. Full traceability with heat number marking on each tube.
