Stainless Steel 304H Welded Tubes are tubular products manufactured from high-carbon austenitic stainless steel by forming the material into a tubular shape and joining the edges through a controlled welding process. Grade 304H, identified by UNS S30409, offers a combination of good corrosion resistance, strength, durability and improved high-temperature performance.
Stainless Steel 304H Welded Tubes are commonly supplied according to applicable ASTM specifications such as ASTM A312 and ASTM A249, depending on the product form and application requirements. These specifications cover applicable stainless steel pipe and welded tubing requirements for demanding industrial and high-temperature service.
Stainless Steel 304H is valued for its good corrosion resistance, elevated-temperature strength, oxidation resistance and durability. Its higher carbon content provides improved creep and stress-rupture strength at elevated temperatures compared with standard Stainless Steel 304.
These tubes are used in heat exchangers, boilers, chemical processing equipment, petrochemical plants, power generation, process piping and high-temperature industrial systems. They are available in different outside diameters, wall thicknesses, schedules, lengths and finishes according to customer and project requirements.
