Manufacturing Process

Formed from a single billet of cold-drawn or hot-rolled steel, has a uniform, dense structure without welded seams.
Conforms to ASTM A312/A249 standards, suitable for high pressure and high temperature environments.

Advantages over welded pipe

Higher strength: seamless structure to withstand higher pressure, suitable for boilers and chemical equipment.
Better precision: smooth inner wall, small dimensional tolerance, suitable for precision fluid transportation.
Corrosion resistance: no welding defects, more uniform corrosion resistance.

Excellent corrosion resistance and weldability

Low-carbon design reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion during welding and meets ASTM A312 standards. Maintains integrity over long periods, even in wet or chemical environments.

High strength and durability

Composed of 18-20% chromium and 8-12% nickel, it ensures stable performance under high temperature and high pressure, reducing the frequency of maintenance to save long-term cost.

Seamless reliability

Seamless design enhances the pipe’s ability to withstand pressure and avoid leakage, which is suitable for industries with strict hygiene and safety requirements, such as pharmaceutical and food industries.

Customization support

A wide range of sizes (OD DN6-DN600, wall thickness 0.5mm-50mm) and surface treatments (pickled, polished), available to meet the demand for non-standard sizes.

304L Seamless Pipe Application

304L stainless steel seamless pipe is a widely used material in industry for its excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical: Acid-alkali transport pipelinesto ensure safety and no leakage.
Food Processing: Sanitary pipelines meeting FDA standards for food safety.
Energy Sector: High-temperature boilers and heat exchangers for stable performance.
Construction and Marine: Structural supports resisting moisture corrosion.
