Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipes

Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipe is an austenitic stainless steel pipe manufactured by forming stainless steel material into a tubular shape and joining the longitudinal seam through welding. The grade contains higher levels of chromium, nickel and molybdenum than standard 304 stainless steel, providing improved resistance to aggressive chemical and corrosive environments.

The higher molybdenum content of 317 provides enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while chromium and nickel contribute to general corrosion resistance and structural stability. This makes 317 welded pipe suitable for process systems exposed to corrosive chemicals and industrial fluids.

Kamal Steels is a Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipe Manufacturer and Exporter in India, based in Mumbai. The company supplies SS 317 welded pipes in various sizes, schedules, wall thicknesses, lengths and surface finishes for industrial and international requirements.

Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipe is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel pipe developed for applications requiring higher corrosion resistance than conventional 304 and 316 stainless steel. Its higher chromium, molybdenum and nickel content provides improved resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and aggressive chemical environments.

Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipes are commonly specified under ASTM A312 TP317 for pressure and process piping applications. The material is suitable for corrosive chemical processing, petrochemical equipment, pulp and paper systems and other industrial applications where enhanced corrosion resistance is required.

Kamal Steels supplies Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipes from India in different sizes, schedules, wall thicknesses, lengths and finishes. Pipes can be supplied with applicable inspection, testing and material documentation according to customer and project requirements.

Stainless Steel 317 contains chromium, nickel and molybdenum as its primary alloying elements. The increased molybdenum content compared with common austenitic grades helps improve resistance to localized corrosion in chloride-containing and chemically aggressive environments.

The actual heat analysis should be verified against the applicable ASTM material specification and the material test certificate supplied with the pipe.

Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipes are manufactured in different nominal pipe sizes, outside diameters and wall thicknesses. Pipe dimensions are selected according to pressure requirements, operating conditions, piping design, fabrication requirements and applicable standards.

Common schedules include SCH 5S, SCH 10S, SCH 40S, SCH 80S, SCH 160 and XXS, depending on the nominal pipe size. Custom outside diameters, wall thicknesses and cut lengths can also be supplied for project-specific requirements.

Kamal Steels supplies Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipes in standard and custom dimensions, schedules, wall thicknesses and lengths according to applicable standards and customer requirements.

ASTM A312 TP317 Welded Pipes are manufactured with controlled dimensional requirements for outside diameter, wall thickness and length. These dimensions help ensure proper pipe fit-up, welding, fabrication and installation.

Dimensional inspection can include outside diameter, wall thickness and length measurements. Additional inspection can be arranged according to customer specifications and project requirements.

The pressure rating of Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipe depends on nominal size, wall thickness, operating temperature, allowable stress and the applicable piping design code. Therefore, pressure capacity should be calculated using the actual design conditions rather than assigning one pressure rating to every pipe size and schedule.

The final allowable working pressure should be established using actual design pressure, temperature, pipe dimensions, material properties and the applicable engineering code.

Stainless Steel 317 is identified by different designations under international material standards. These designations help identify the same or closely corresponding grade when sourcing material for industrial applications.

Material equivalency should be confirmed against chemical composition, mechanical properties, product form, manufacturing requirements and the applicable project specification before accepting a substitute grade.

The surface finish of Stainless Steel 317 Welded Pipe is selected according to the application, corrosion environment, cleaning requirements and fabrication process. Industrial process piping generally uses annealed and pickled or mill finishes, while specialized applications may require brighter or polished surfaces.

The required finish should be selected according to the operating environment and project specification.
