ASTM A312 TP317 Seamless Pipe refers to Type 317 austenitic stainless steel pipe manufactured according to the applicable requirements of ASTM A312. The specification covers seamless, welded and heavily cold-worked austenitic stainless steel pipe intended for corrosive and high-temperature service.
SS 317 Seamless Pipe can also be supplied to corresponding ASME requirements when specified for an applicable project or engineering application. The required grade, dimensions, heat treatment, testing and certification should be confirmed before procurement.
Grade 317 is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum austenitic stainless steel. Its molybdenum content is higher than that of conventional 304 stainless steel and contributes to its resistance in several corrosive environments.
| Element | Typical / Maximum Requirement |
|---|---|
| Chromium | Approx. 18.0–20.0% |
| Nickel | Approx. 11.0–15.0% |
| Molybdenum | Approx. 3.0–4.0% |
| Carbon | Maximum 0.08% |
| Manganese | Maximum 2.00% |
| Silicon | Maximum 1.00% |
The required tensile strength, yield strength and elongation depend on the applicable specification and product condition. Material testing should be evaluated according to the specified standard and purchase requirements.
Stainless Steel 317 and 316 are both molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels. However, Grade 317 contains a higher level of molybdenum and generally higher chromium than 316, which can provide improved resistance in certain aggressive chemical environments.
| Feature | SS 317 | SS 316 |
|---|---|---|
| Material Type | Austenitic stainless steel | Austenitic stainless steel |
| Molybdenum | Higher | Lower than 317 |
| Corrosion Resistance | Enhanced resistance for selected aggressive environments | Very good general corrosion resistance |
| Typical Selection | More demanding chemical service | Broad industrial and process applications |
The final material selection should be based on the actual chemical environment, operating temperature, pressure, corrosion mechanism, fabrication requirements and project specifications.
Stainless Steel 317 Seamless and Welded Pipes are manufactured using different processes. Seamless pipe is produced from a solid billet and does not have a longitudinal weld seam, while welded pipe is formed from stainless steel strip or plate and joined along the seam.
| Feature | SS 317 Seamless Pipe | SS 317 Welded Pipe |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | No longitudinal weld seam | Longitudinal welded seam |
| Typical Selection | Specified pressure and demanding service applications | Fabrication and suitable process piping applications |
| Size Range | Available in various nominal sizes | Can be advantageous for larger diameters |
| Cost | Generally higher depending on size and specification | May offer economical production for suitable applications |
The appropriate construction should be selected according to the applicable standard, pipe diameter, wall thickness, pressure, temperature, corrosion conditions and project requirements.
