1.4404 1 1/2"x16BWG Stainless Steel Welding Pipe EN 10217-7
Corrosion-Resistant Tube for Industrial Applications
The 1.4404 Stainless Steel Welding Pipe (1 1/2" x 16BWG) is a welded austenitic stainless steel tube manufactured in accordance with EN 10217-7. This high-quality 316L stainless steel pipe is ideal for high-pressure and high-corrosion-resistant applications. 1.4404 is a variant of 316L, which contains added molybdenum for superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and corrosive environments.
Applications
- Chemical processing and petrochemical industry for pipelines carrying corrosive chemicals
- Pharmaceutical and food processing equipment
- Marine applications where resistance to saltwater corrosion is critical
- Heat exchangers and cooling systems in power plants
- Exhaust systems and automotive components
- HVAC systems, including high-temperature pipelines
Advantages
- Superior corrosion resistance to chlorides, acids, and high-temperature environments
- Excellent weldability and formability, perfect for complex fabrications
- Low carbon content (316L) reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion and provides better weldability
- Ideal for marine environments, desalination plants, and seawater systems
- Meets EN 10217-7 standards, ensuring top-quality manufacturing
