How to Choose Right 316 Stainless Steel Tube

Seamless tubes are suitable for high pressure applications, while welded tubes are more economical. Surface finishes can be selected according to your application – polished tubes for hygienic applications and pickled tubes for industrial applications.

How to Maintain and Care for 316 Stainless Steel Pipe

To prolong the service life, 316 stainless steel pipes need to be cleaned regularly, avoiding contact with strong acid or alkali environments, to prevent static reactions and oxidative corrosion. In addition, the appropriate welding method should be selected during the welding process to reduce cracking and oxidation problems.
