Stainless steel pipes are long, hollow tubes that are used in a wide variety of applications. They are manufactured in two ways, welded pipes and seamless pipes.
304 stainless steel pipe specifications, stainless steel 304 pipe is a metal pipe made of austenitic stainless steel, its composition contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, used in food production equipment, chemical equipment, nuclear energy, etc.
Pipe sizes range from A312 and A358 in ASTM specifications. Size ranges meet ASTM, ASME and API standards. Welded and SS 304 pipes and electric fusion welded pipes are available.
