Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 316L and 304 stainless steel?
316L contains molybdenum, providing enhanced resistance to corrosion, particularly in chloride environments, making it suitable for marine and chemical applications, while 304 lacks molybdenum and is more prone to corrosion in these environments.
Can 316L stainless steel be welded?
Yes, 316L is highly weldable, and its low carbon content ensures better corrosion resistance at welded joints compared to regular 316 stainless steel.
Are custom lengths available for this pipe?
Yes, we offer customizable lengths, with standard lengths available from 6 meters to 12 meters, and bespoke lengths can be manufactured according to project requirements.
Is the pipe suitable for use in seawater environments?
Yes, 316L stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion in seawater and is commonly used in marine applications, including heat exchangers and condenser systems.
