Learn about ASTM A213 Alloy 317L Pipe for Oil & Gas
Alloy 317L / UNS S31703 / 1.4438 is a low carbon, molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel, a variation of Type 317 stainless steel, specifically designed for enhanced corrosion and pitting resistance. It is particularly suitable for use in the oil and gas industry.
Stainless Steel TP317L Key Features
- 1. Corrosion Resistance: In corrosive environments such as those encountered in offshore drilling operations or refineries, 317L stainless steel pipes offer excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive agents, including sulfuric acid, chlorides, and other harsh chemicals.
- 2. Strength and Durability: AISI 317L SS seamless pipes have a tensile strength of at least 75,000 psi and a yield strength of at least 30,000 psi.
- 3. Weldability: ASTM A213 UNS S31703 seamless pipes have slightly better welding properties due to the low carbon content in their composition.
