Description

ASTM A358 / ASME SA358 CL.1 TP316/316L Stainless Steel EFW Pipe Double Welded Pipe

ASTM A358 TP316/316L Class 1 Stainless Steel EFW Double Welded Pipe is a large-diameter, longitudinal welded stainless steel pipe. It is made from a dual-certified low-carbon stainless steel plate, welded from both sides for full penetration, and then fully heat-treated to maximize corrosion resistance. It is a high-integrity product designed for severe service conditions.

The entire pipe is heated to a temperature range (typically 1900°F to 2050°F for 316L) and then rapidly cooled (quenched) to put the chromium carbides back into solution. This ensures the weld seam and the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) have the same corrosion-resistant properties as the base metal. Class 1 pipes are also 100% radiographically inspected.

Comparison Between ASTM A312 Welded Pipe and ASTM A358 Welded Pipe

Feature ASTM A312 Welded Pipe ASTM A358 Class 1 EFW
Typical Welding Method Single-Welded (from Outside) Double-Welded (Outside + Inside)
Weld Access Outside only (automatic fusion) Inside and Outside (with back-gouging)
Heat Treatment Solution Annealed (Required) Solution Annealed (Required for Class 1)
Typical Use Case General corrosion service, smaller diameters, lighter walls. Critical service, large diameters, thick walls, high pressure.
Double Weld Allowed? No Yes (Mandatory for Double Welded spec)

The Process: EFW (Electric Fusion Welding)

  • EFW is a welding process where the pipe is formed from a flat plate (skelp) and then welded longitudinally.

  • How it works: The plate edges are prepared, brought together, and fused using an electric arc. Filler metal is typically added.

  • Comparison to ERW: While often used interchangeably, EFW typically refers to welding with filler metal (consumables), whereas ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) usually does not use filler metal and relies on pressure and resistance heat. EFW is preferred for thicker walls and critical services.

Applications

Because of the robust welding method and high corrosion resistance, this pipe is used in demanding environments:

  • Chemical Processing: Handling acids, sulfates, and chlorides.

  • Petrochemical Refineries: High-temperature hydrocarbon service.

  • Pharmaceutical & Food Processing: Where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are vital.

  • Water Treatment: Desalination plants and wastewater treatment (resists chloride corrosion).

  • Power Generation: Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems.
