Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this 4.9" OD seamless pipe in 316 stainless steel (ASTM A312/A790) boasts a robust Schedule 160 wall thickness of 0.213". This configuration provides exceptional pressure containment capabilities, making it ideal for high-stress fluid and gas transfer. The inherent corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel, due to its molybdenum content, offers superior protection against pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments. Typical applications include chemical processing, offshore oil and gas, and high-purity systems.
