316L Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe/ Tubo sin soldadura de acero inoxidable
316L has been widely used in chemical industry because of its excellent corrosion resistance.
Main Standard: ASTM A213, ASTM A312, ASTM A269
Main Grade: 316L; 1.4404
Outer Diameter: 10-25mm
Wall Thickness: 1.5-6mm
Length: Random
Surface Treatment: pickling or as customers’ requirement
How is it Measured? Outer Diameter (A) X Schedule or Wall Thickness (B) X Length
PS: L in 316L means LOW.
