SS 347 and SS 321 are stabilized austenitic stainless steel grades specifically developed for elevated-temperature service and resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. The primary difference lies in their stabilizing elements. SS 347 contains niobium (columbium), while SS 321 contains titanium. SS 347 generally offers improved creep resistance and superior performance during prolonged exposure to high temperatures, making it a preferred material for pressure vessels, boilers, and refinery equipment. SS 321 is widely selected for heat exchangers, exhaust systems, and general high-temperature process piping.

|---|---|---|
| Stabilizing Element | Niobium (Columbium) | Titanium |
| Intergranular Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
| High Temperature Strength | Excellent | Very Good |
| Creep Resistance | Higher | Good |
| Oxidation Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
| Typical Applications | Boilers, Refineries, Pressure Vessels | Heat Exchangers, Chemical Plants, Exhaust Systems |
Stainless Steel 347 pipes are available in both seamless and welded construction. Seamless pipes are manufactured from solid billets without a longitudinal weld seam, providing excellent strength for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Welded pipes are produced by forming stainless steel plate or strip and welding the joint, making them a cost-effective solution for general industrial applications where design specifications permit.
| Feature | Seamless Pipe | Welded Pipe |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | Produced without a weld seam | Manufactured by welding stainless steel strip |
| Weld Seam | None | Present |
| Pressure Capacity | Higher | Suitable for standard pressure applications |
| High Temperature Service | Excellent | Very Good |
| Cost | Generally Higher | More Economical |
| Typical Applications | Critical Process & High Pressure Systems | General Industrial & Utility Piping |
The selection between seamless and welded SS 347 pipes depends on the operating pressure, service temperature, corrosion environment, project specifications, and applicable piping standards.
