304 Stainless Steel Pipe
Corrosion Resistant 304 Stainless Steel Pipe
Stainless steel pipes are long, hollow tubes that are used for a wide range of industrial applications. They are produced by two distinct methods which result in either a welded or seamless pipe. Alloy 304 stainless steel pipe provides enhanced strength and corrosion resistance and can be used for all types of fabrication processes, especially those that are subjected to outdoor environmental conditions.
Alloy 304 vs 316 Stainless Steel Pipe
Stainless steel 304 and 316 alloy grade pipe products are synonymous with corrosion resistance. Both grades are known for possessing some of the best corrosion resistant properties within the world of metal. Additionally, each SS pipe alloy grade maintains its own unique properties, providing variations that allow 316 and 304 stainless steel to be used for both similar and differentiating industrial applications.
