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.

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.
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 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 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.
| ASTM Grade | TP310H |
|---|---|
| UNS | S31009 |
| ASME Specification | SA312 |
| Product Form | Seamless Pipe |
| Material Type | Austenitic Stainless Steel |
| Primary Characteristic | High-temperature strength and oxidation resistance |
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% |
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.
