Reputable for producing and supplying stainless steel 904L EFW (Electric Fusion Welded) pipes, Vipul Pipes and Tubes is based in Chennai, India, and offers high-performance piping solutions for demanding and highly corrosive applications. Vipul is well-known for their dedication to accuracy, quality, and prompt delivery. They offer 904L EFW pipes that satisfy demanding international standards. These pipes are perfect for use in chemical and marine environments because of their exceptional resistance to acids, chloride stress corrosion, and pitting. Vipul Pipes and Tubes serves vital industries like petrochemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and power generation, guaranteeing consistent quality and customised solutions.
High concentrations of nickel (23–28%) and chromium (19–23%) make up stainless steel 904L EFW pipes, while molybdenum (4–5%) and copper (1–2%) are added to improve corrosion resistance. Carbide precipitation during welding is reduced by the low carbon content (≤0.02%). These pipes have outstanding mechanical qualities, such as a yield strength of ≥220 MPa, a tensile strength of 490–710 MPa, and a 35% elongation. Stainless steel 904L is perfect for welded piping systems exposed to phosphoric, acetic, and sulphuric acids in harsh industrial settings because it combines excellent resistance to harsh chemicals with strong mechanical durability.
