Grade 304L Vs 304 Stainless Steel Pipes

Stainless Steel 304L Pipe is made up of a lower carbon version of the 18–8 austenitic stainless steel material that is the most used in the world. The lower carbon content allows for excessive welding without localized corrosion. This is because the Stainless Steel 304L Pipe produces less carbide precipitation during welding and does not form much intergranular corrosion. There are seamless and welded pipe types. The welded pipes are made by welding the strips of the same grade end to end or spirally.

The 304L Stainless Steel Tubing has higher strength in comparison to a pipe. These tubes can be both hot and cold rolled and showcase enhanced durability. They are easy to bend and coil without causing any fracture or wrinkling. The Stainless Steel 304L Seamless Pipe is drawn from a single billet of material. So the drawn seamless pipes are much smoother. These are used in high pressure and high temperature applications. A Stainless Steel 304L Pipe Supplier can produce pipes in different sizes and schedules to suit the requirements of different industries.

Stainless Steel Pipe 304 is normally used for aerospace, food and beverage, machinery, architectural, chemical, and cryogenic applications. 304 stainless, the most Common Stainless Steel alloy on earth, provides high strength and good corrosion resistance outside of marine and highly corrosive environments. Rising Steel Industries are one of the pioneer manufacturers & exporter for high quality 304 Stainless Steel Pipe, where low nickel content of it makes them price stable. 304 pipe stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.

As the most common stainless steel alloy, 304/304L stainless steel is very versatile. This grade of austenitic stainless steel pipe demonstrates excellent machinability and is a good welding material with or without adding filler metals. It resists corrosion from a range of corrosive environments. These characteristics make 304/304L stainless steel pipes widely used. A 304 Stainless Steel Pipe Supplier generally supplies piping products that are produced in either seamless or welded configurations. A Stainless Steel 304 Seamless Pipe has 20% higher load-bearing capacity and strength when compared to a welded pipe.
