For a variety of industrial uses, Vipul Pipes and Tubes, a well-known manufacturer and supplier with headquarters in Chennai, India, provides premium Stainless Steel 316 and 316L ERW Pipes. These Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes are renowned for their exceptional weldability, high strength, and resistance to corrosion. While SS 316L has a low carbon content for better weldability and reduced carbide precipitation, SS 316 contains molybdenum, which increases its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in environments rich in chloride. These pipes are perfect for the global chemical, marine, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries because Vipul delivers them with precision engineering and reliable quality.
Chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%) make up the majority of stainless steel 316 and 316L ERW pipes, which improve corrosion resistance. Because SS 316L contains less carbon (maximum 0.03%) than 316 (maximum 0.08%), there is less chance of intergranular corrosion following welding. These pipes have an elongation of 40%, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and a tensile strength of roughly 515 MPa. They are appropriate for both structural and pressure-bearing applications in demanding industrial settings because the ERW manufacturing process guarantees uniform thickness and smooth internal finishes.

316 and 316L ERW stainless steel pipes are widely used in industries that require high strength and resistance to corrosion. They are perfect for use in the pulp and paper, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, marine, and chemical processing industries. Because of its low carbon content, which inhibits weld decay, SS 316L is particularly well-suited for welded components in corrosive environments. Pipelines, heat exchangers, condensers, fluid handling systems, and architectural structures subjected to severe weather or saltwater all use these pipes. They are a dependable option for demanding and protracted service applications due to their longevity, hygienic qualities, and structural soundness.
