ASTM A213, ASME SA213 TP316L Stainless Steel Seamless Round Tube For Heat Exchanger

ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 TP316L Stainless Steel Seamless Tube

Overview

TP316L is a low carbon content stainless steel with high corrosion resistance.TP316L is required to meet specific chemical composition requirements including the elements iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen in content ranges.Mechanical property testing requirements for TP316L include tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness.

For various pipe sizes, ASTM A213 TP316L specifies a range of outside diameter tolerances to ensure compliance with the standard requirements. ASTM A213 TP316L piping is subjected to a variety of inspections, including chemical analysis, mechanical property testing, nondestructive testing, hardness testing, and pressure testing to ensure that its quality and performance are in accordance with the specification.

Uses&Application:

1>.Chemical and Petrochemical: TP316L is commonly used in equipment and piping systems that handle corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvents.

2>.Oil and Gas: TP316L is utilized in offshore and onshore oil and gas production applications, including pipelines, heat exchangers, and refineries due to its resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.

3>.Pharmaceuticals: TP316L is popular in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to its high purity, cleanability, and resistance to corrosion from harsh chemicals used in the industry.

4>.Food and Beverage: TP316L is suitable for food processing equipment, dairy plants, and breweries because it meets sanitary requirements, resists corrosion from food acids, and is easily cleanable.

5>.Power Generation: TP316L is used in power plants for boiler tubes, superheaters, and heat exchangers due to its excellent creep and high-temperature strength.

6>.Aerospace: TP316L can be found in aircraft components, such as hydraulic lines and exhaust systems, thanks to its good strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion at high altitudes.
