Product Description
NIKO STEEL AND ENGINEERING LLP is one of the industry-leading manufacturers, traders, suppliers, and exporters of a wide range of Stainless steel 316l Butt Weld Pipe Fittings. Stainless Steel 316l contains higher chromium and low carbon content. Lower carbon means less chromium carbide precipitation due to welding. This steel type contains as low as 0.03% of carbon content and thus reduces its susceptibility to intergranular corrosion.
It is applicable in various applications like car headers, machinery parts, screws and also food handling equipment. We offer these DIN 1.4301 Stainless Steel Butt Weld Fittings in different forms like Tees, Reducers, Cross, Stub Bends, Elbow and End caps. SS UNS S30400 Butt Weld Pipe Elbow execute excellent forming and welding properties.
Comprehensive Range of FittingsOur SS 316L Butt weld Fittings include elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, crosses, and caps, all manufactured to meet rigorous ASTM and ASME standards. With sizes spanning 1/2 to 24 inches in diameter and available in various thicknesses (SCH 10S, SCH 40S, SCH 80S), these fittings ensure compatibility across diverse piping systems and streamline fluid transmission solutions.
Unmatched Corrosion ResistanceCrafted from 316L stainless steel, these butt weld fittings offer excellent resistance to corrosion. Their robust alloy composition is particularly effective in environments with harsh chemicals or saltwater, such as marine and chemical processing applications. Pickled and annealed surfaces enhance longevity, providing a reliable solution for industries with stringent safety and durability requirements.
Reliable Performance and DurabilityPrecision manufacturing through cold or hot forming and subsequent annealing processes results in fittings with consistent quality. Featuring high ductility (elongation 40%) and low hardness (95 HRB), SS 316L fittings can withstand extreme pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for challenging industrial environments. Compliance with international standards further guarantees reliable performance and durability.
FAQ's of SS 316L Butt weld Fittings:
Q: What are the primary benefits of using SS 316L Butt weld Fittings in industrial applications?
A: SS 316L Butt weld Fittings offer excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and superior ductility. Their durability and ability to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures make them suitable for environments such as chemical processing, oil & gas, and marine industries.
Q: How are SS 316L Butt weld Fittings manufactured and what processes are involved?
A: These fittings are produced using cold or hot forming techniques followed by annealing, ensuring optimal metallic structure and mechanical properties. The surface is often pickled and annealed to enhance corrosion resistance and provide a smooth finish.
Q: When should I choose SS 316L Butt weld Fittings over other grades of stainless steel?
A: SS 316L is preferable when excellent corrosion resistance is essential, especially in chloride-rich or chemically aggressive environments. It is also ideal if reliability and mechanical performance are critical under high pressure or temperature conditions.
Q: Where can SS 316L Butt weld Fittings be applied?
A: They are suitable for industrial piping, chemical processing plants, oil & gas transmission, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and marine piping systems-anywhere a robust, corrosion-resistant joint is needed.
Q: What packaging options are available for shipping these fittings?
A: Fittings can be packaged in cartons, wooden cases, or tailored according to the customer's requirements to ensure safe delivery during transportation and storage.
Q: What is the typical lead time for ordering SS 316L Butt weld Fittings?
A: The standard lead time ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the order size, customization needs, and current production schedules.
Q: How is the connection and sealing achieved with these fittings?
A: SS 316L Butt weld Fittings use beveled ends, conforming to ASME B16.25 standards, to facilitate strong welded joints that deliver reliable long-term sealing without the need for threads or coatings.
