Stainless Steel Metal Tubing. 317L. Metric. Dimensions ranging from 15mm to 22mm. Length per tube is 6m.
Alloy 317L is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel, with greatly increased resistance to chemical attack compared to the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic steel tubes as 304L & 316L. The addition of molybdenum gives alloy 317L tubing improved resistance to chloride and other halides. Due to its low carbon content, 317L tubing can be welded without risk of sanitisation due to inter granular corrosion that can result from chromium carbide precipitation in the grain boundaries. 317L is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, but can become slightly magnetic because of welding.
