Stainless Steel 310H Seamless Pipes

What is Stainless Steel 310H Seamless Pipe?

Stainless Steel 310H Seamless Pipes are high-temperature austenitic stainless steel pipes developed for applications where elevated-temperature strength, oxidation resistance and reliable performance are important. The 310H grade is a higher-carbon version of Type 310 stainless steel and is commonly selected for demanding thermal service, furnace equipment, heat-treatment systems and industrial process environments. Its seamless construction provides a continuous pipe structure without a longitudinal welded joint.

Kamal Steels supplies Stainless Steel 310H Seamless Pipes in a range of outside diameters, wall thicknesses, schedules and lengths to meet different industrial piping requirements. These pipes can be supplied according to applicable ASTM and ASME specifications, including ASTM A312 TP310H / ASME SA312, with material documentation, inspection and testing arranged according to project requirements. SS 310H pipes are suitable for high-temperature applications where material selection must consider operating temperature, corrosion conditions, pressure and mechanical requirements.

SS 310H Seamless Pipe Size Chart

SS 310H Seamless Pipes are available in a broad range of nominal pipe sizes and outside diameters to accommodate different industrial piping systems. Selection of the appropriate size depends on flow requirements, operating pressure, temperature, wall thickness and applicable piping specifications.

Nominal Pipe Size Outside Diameter Common Applications
1/2 Inch 21.3 mm Instrumentation and small-bore piping
1 Inch 33.4 mm Process and utility lines
2 Inch 60.3 mm Industrial process piping
3 Inch 88.9 mm Process and equipment connections

Additional sizes and non-standard dimensions can be considered based on manufacturing capability, applicable standards and project requirements.

SS 310H Seamless Pipe Weight Chart

The weight of Stainless Steel 310H Seamless Pipe depends primarily on outside diameter, wall thickness, pipe length and material density. Heavier wall pipes generally have greater weight per metre than thinner schedules of the same nominal size.

Pipe Size Outside Diameter Example Wall Thickness Weight Consideration
1 Inch 33.4 mm 3.38 mm Depends on actual length and density
2 Inch 60.3 mm 3.91 mm Depends on actual length and density
3 Inch 88.9 mm 5.49 mm Depends on actual length and density
4 Inch 114.3 mm 6.02 mm Depends on actual length and density
6 Inch 168.3 mm 7.11 mm Depends on actual length and density

Actual pipe weight should be confirmed from the specified dimensions, schedule, length and applicable dimensional standard. Kamal Steels can provide dimensional and weight details according to the required product specification.

SS 310H Seamless Pipe Schedule Chart

Pipe schedules identify standardized wall thickness ranges for different nominal pipe sizes. SS 310H Seamless Pipes can be supplied in commonly requested schedules, subject to the applicable size and manufacturing specification.

Schedule Typical Availability General Use
SCH 5S Selected sizes Light-wall piping applications
SCH 10S Common sizes Light to moderate service
SCH 40S Common sizes General industrial piping
SCH 80S Common sizes Higher wall thickness requirements
SCH 160 Selected sizes Heavy-wall service applications

Schedule availability varies with nominal pipe size and applicable specification. The required schedule should be selected based on design pressure, temperature, corrosion conditions, mechanical requirements and project standards.

ASTM A312 TP310H Seamless Pipe

ASTM A312 TP310H Seamless Pipe is manufactured from Type 310H austenitic stainless steel for applications requiring resistance to corrosion and oxidation together with useful strength at elevated temperatures. The specification covers seamless, welded and heavily cold-worked austenitic stainless steel pipe intended for specified corrosive and high-temperature service.

ASTM A312 TP310H pipes can be supplied in different nominal sizes, wall thicknesses, schedules and lengths according to the applicable requirements. The corresponding ASME designation is commonly referenced as SA312 when the material is required for applications governed by the applicable ASME Code.

SS 310H Seamless Pipe Chemical Composition & Mechanical Properties

The chemical composition of SS 310H is designed to provide a combination of chromium and nickel content with controlled carbon levels for elevated temperature service. The higher carbon content distinguishes 310H from standard 310 and contributes to its high-temperature strength.

Element Typical / Specified Range
Carbon 0.04–0.10%
Chromium 24.0–26.0%
Nickel 19.0–22.0%
Manganese Maximum 2.00%
Silicon Maximum 0.75%
Phosphorus Maximum 0.045%
Sulfur Maximum 0.030%
Iron Balance

Mechanical properties and other material requirements should be verified against the applicable ASTM or ASME specification and product condition. Actual test values are documented through the applicable material test certificate when supplied.

Mechanical Property Typical Requirement
Tensile Strength Minimum 515 MPa
Yield Strength Minimum 205 MPa
Elongation Minimum 35%

SS 310H Seamless Pipe vs Welded Pipe

Both seamless and welded stainless steel 310H pipes can be used in industrial applications, but their manufacturing methods are different. A seamless pipe is produced from a solid billet without a longitudinal welded joint, whereas a welded pipe is formed from stainless steel strip or plate and joined along the seam.

Feature SS 310H Seamless Pipe SS 310H Welded Pipe
Manufacturing Produced from solid billet Produced from strip or plate with a welded seam
Longitudinal Weld No longitudinal weld Contains a welded seam
Size Range Commonly selected for seamless pipe sizes Can be advantageous for larger diameters
Application Specified pressure, process and high-temperature services Process, fabrication and industrial piping applications
Selection Based on design and applicable specification Based on design, weld requirements and applicable specification

The choice between seamless and welded construction should be based on pressure, temperature, pipe dimensions, fabrication requirements, inspection requirements and the governing project specification rather than on construction type alone.
