AISI 316L Bright Annealed Stainless Steel Sanitary Tube
Our AISI 316L Bright Annealed Stainless Steel Sanitary Tube is purpose-designed for hygienic fluid transfer in food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and beverage processing environments. The bright annealed surface ensures ultra-smooth internal walls that minimize bacterial adhesion and facilitate CIP (Clean-in-Place) protocols.
Key Features
- 316L Low Carbon Grade: Enhanced corrosion resistance with molybdenum content, ideal for acidic and chloride-rich processing environments.
- Bright Annealed Finish: Heat-treated in controlled atmosphere for a bright, oxide-free surface with Ra ≤ 0.8 μm internal roughness, meeting 3-A sanitary standards.
- Orbital TIG Welding: Precise, consistent weld quality with full penetration and minimal heat-affected zone, ensuring product purity.
- Wide Diameter Range: Covers 25.4mm to 114.3mm OD to accommodate various flow rate requirements in processing lines.
- Full Traceability: Each tube is marked with heat number for complete material traceability from mill to installation.
Applications
Ideal for dairy processing lines, beverage filling systems, pharmaceutical clean rooms, cosmetic manufacturing pipelines, biotechnology fermenters, and food-grade transfer systems where hygiene and corrosion resistance are paramount.
Quality Assurance
Manufactured to ASTM A270 and EN 10357 standards. Each shipment includes MTC, surface roughness measurement reports, and hydrostatic test certificates upon request.
