ASTM A213 TP316 Seamless Tubes (UNS S31600)
ASTM A213 TP316 (UNS S31600) Stainless Steel Seamless Tubes are molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel tubes designed for high corrosion resistance, elevated temperature strength, and superior performance in chemical, marine, and industrial environments. Known for their exceptional resistance to chlorides, acids, and pitting, TP316 tubes are widely used in heat exchangers, condensers, superheaters, and boiler systems. With excellent mechanical strength, exceptional weldability, and outstanding resistance to chemicals and acids, ASTM A213 TP316 tubes are a preferred choice for industries that demand reliability in corrosive environments such as marine engineering, petrochemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The steel grade maintains stability at high temperatures, ensuring minimal thermal expansion and resistance to oxidation during continuous operation.
