What is a stainless steel reducer?

A stainless steel reducer is a fitting used in piping systems to connect pipes of different sizes. It is designed to reduce the size of the pipe bore, allowing for the smooth flow of liquids or gases through the system. Stainless steel reducers are popular due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for various applications, especially in industries where hygiene and cleanliness are crucial, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing.

What is grade SS316L/UNS S31603?

Grade SS316L/UNS S31603 is a type of stainless steel that is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments. It is a low carbon version of SS316, which means it has better corrosion resistance than SS316 in welded structures due to its reduced carbon content.

This grade is often used in various industries such as chemical processing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine applications due to its superior corrosion resistance properties. It also offers good strength and weldability.
