Stainless Steel Metal Tubing. 316/316L. Straight Length. Imperial. Dimensions ranging from 1/16″ to 1/4″. Length per tube is 6m.
Alloy 316/316L is the most used austenitic Stainless Steel in the chemical process industry, including steel tubing. The higher nickel and molybdenum content in this grade allows it to demonstrate better overall corrosion resistant properties than alloy 304/304L, especially regarding pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. The steel also offers higher creep, stress rupture and tensile strength in elevated temperature. Alloy 316L is an extra-lower carbon version of alloy 316 that eliminates harmful carbide precipitation due to welding. Generally, all Merinox tubing is dual-certified to meet both 316 and 316L.
