Vipul Pipes and Tubes is a prominent manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Welded Pipes in Chennai, India, delivering corrosion-resistant, high-quality piping solutions for commercial and industrial uses. SS 316 is an austenitic stainless steel with excellent resistance to chloride environments, while 316L is the low-carbon variant that provides improved weldability and resistance to sensitization. Our welded pipes are precision-engineered to international quality standards, providing a superior surface finish, dimensional tolerance, and long term durability. Vipul Pipes and Tubes is catering to the chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, marine, and oil & gas industries.
16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum in Stainless Steel 316 and 316L provide an added resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion. 316 contains more carbon (up to 0.08%), whereas 316L contains ≤0.03% carbon and thus is the most suitable for welding. Both grades possess tensile strength of 515–760 MPa, yield strength ≥205 MPa, and elongation of approximately 35%. SS 316L possesses very good intergranular corrosion resistance, particularly following welding, whereas SS 316 provides marginally greater mechanical strength for structural use in severe environments.

Welded Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Pipes are extremely popular in chemical plants, refineries, and marine environments due to their exceptional resistance towards corrosive chemicals, particularly chlorides. They are utilized for piping systems in pharmaceutical and food processing industries where hygiene and corrosion resistance are necessary. The welded pipes are best suited for heat exchangers, process pipelines, water treatment systems, and structural components subject to aggressive chemicals or saltwater. SS 316L’s superior weldability makes it ideal for pressure vessels and fabricated assemblies, whereas SS 316 is used in cases that involve greater mechanical strength.
