Located in Chennai, India, Vipul Pipes and Tubes is a top producer and supplier of 316 and 316L seamless stainless steel pipes, offering top-notch solutions for extremely corrosive and high-pressure settings. These austenitic stainless steels are perfect for demanding applications because of their exceptional resistance to acids, chlorides, and marine environments. Because of its low carbon content, SS 316L is particularly well-suited for welded structures. Serving sectors including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and food processing in India and international markets, Vipul Pipes and Tubes guarantees that every seamless pipe satisfies international standards for quality and performance.
Iron, 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum make up stainless steel 316 and 316L seamless pipes. Molybdenum improves resistance to corrosion, especially in the presence of chlorides and acidic media. Because the carbon content of the 316L variant is lower (maximum 0.03%), there is less chance of carbide precipitation during welding. Mechanical characteristics include elongation of 35–40%, yield strength of 170–310 MPa, and tensile strength of 485–620 MPa. These seamless pipes are appropriate for high-pressure and high-temperature service conditions due to their exceptional formability, strength, and resistance to corrosion.
