A reputable manufacturer and supplier of stainless steel 316 and 316L instrumentation tubing for high-precision fluid and gas control systems, Vipul Pipes and Tubes is based in Chennai, India. These austenitic stainless steels are renowned for their remarkable ability to withstand corrosion, especially in acidic and chloride-containing environments. The low-carbon form of SS 316, known as SS 316L, provides better intergranular corrosion resistance and weldability. Vipul Pipes and Tubes provides instrumentation tubing with tight dimensional tolerances and smooth internal finishes, manufactured in accordance with ASTM A269 and A213 standards. These tubings are perfect for critical applications in the oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and marine industries.
The presence of chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%) in Vipul Pipes and Tubes’ stainless steel 316 and 316L instrumentation tubing greatly increases its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. Because SS 316L has a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, carbide precipitation during welding is minimised. These grades provide elongation of at least 35%, yield strength of 205 MPa, and tensile strength of 515 MPa. Both varieties are perfect for precision instrumentation and control line systems due to their flawless finish and exceptional corrosion resistance, while also maintaining strength and ductility at high temperatures.
