316 stainless steel square tube is a hollow structural section with four equal sides. Grade 316 contains molybdenum, which provides superior corrosion resistance against chlorides, salt water, and harsh chemicals.

Our 316 square tubes are ideal for marine, coastal, and chemical processing applications where standard 304 stainless steel may not perform adequately. Both welded and seamless options are available.

The addition of molybdenum (2.0–3.0%) provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.

Note: The values above are for reference only. Please refer to the mill test certificate for actual data.
