  There are two common types of stainless steel tubing used in manufacturing and fabrication. The first is seamless tubing. The second is welded tubing, which is one of the most versatile metal alloys available to manufacturers. A person’s decision on whether to use seamless or welded tubing is usually determined by the product’s application requirements. In choosing between the two keep in mind that first the tubing must be compliant with your project specifications, and secondly, it must meet the conditions for which it will ultimately be used.   During the manufacturing process, seamless meaning steel pipes are manufactured by rolling the round steel billet through hot and cold rolling processes, as well as cold drawing, without a seam appearing on the body of the pipe. Steel pipes are manufactured from flat steel plate, and the seams of the pipe are welded onto the body of the pipe. ERW pipes, LSAW pipes, and SSAW pipes all belong to this category.

What is Stainless Steel 316?   Stainless steel is a steel alloy containing at least 10% chromium, which is a corrosion resistant metal. Through the addition of chromium to stainless steel, a thin layer of metal oxide is created over the metal’s surface that protects it from the attack of corrosion-causing substances. With a content of 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, 2 to 3% molybdenum, and a small amount of carbon, stainless steel 316 is a popular stainless steel grade. When compared with other grades of stainless steel, stainless steel 316 has a greater corrosion resistance due to the presence of molybdenum. Other alloys further enhance its properties.   There are many characteristics and properties of stainless steel 316 that make it one of the two most widely used stainless steel grades after stainless steel 304. It is used in corrosive environments such as chemical plants, refineries, and marine engines. Stainless steel’s melting point falls between 2550 and 2790°F or 140

  In the austenitic stainless steel grade, this pipe has a good range of corrosion resistance from chloride ions, as well as a good level of stress cracking resistance due to its austenitic nature. This means that the pipe can be used in marine applications and in seawater environments without any problems as a result of its properties. Pipes can be welded, seamless or electric fusion welded, and there are a wide variety of types of pipes available in the market. A 316 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe, and 316 Stainless Steel Welded Pipe ranges in outer diameter between 12 inches and 16 inches, while welded pipes range up to 24 inches and electric fusion welded pipes range up to 100 inches in diameter. There is no difference between the strength of the 316 Welded Pipe and the 304 Welded Pipe since both types of pipes are made from strips of the same grade. In spite of this, because the pipe contains 4% molybdenum, it has an enhanced corrosion resistance. It is a member of the A312 specifi

  There is a perception among many people that PVC pipes and fittings are less durable, less resilient, and much less long-lasting than metal materials, particularly stainless steel pipe, which is why the majority of them believe they are less durable, less resilient, and more likely to be short lived than stainless steel pipe. It is important to note that this assumption is a generalized assumption that can prove false in many real-world situations. We will discuss here the important operation characteristics between PVC and stainless steel, and show how PVC actually outperforms stainless steel on certain levels.    Comparing a plastic like PVC with a robust metal such as stainless steel may seem foolish to some, but here we will discuss the important operation characteristics between the two. It has been proven that PVC pipe and fittings can be incredibly durable, resistant and able to offer a service life that is far greater than the service life provided by stainless steel pipe
