Customized
There are various requirements for AISI 316 pipe size, wall thickness, and joint forms in the mining industry. Our suppliers can flexibly customize them according to the actual needs of customers.
Advantages of Welded Pipes In Mining
Stainless steel welded pipes are formed by rolling plates and then welding, and the cost is lower than seamless pipes. Welded pipes enable the manufacture of large diameter and thin-walled pipes with ease. In the mining industry, large amounts of slurry, wastewater or gas need to be transported, and large-diameter welded pipes are more economical and practical than seamless pipes. And has strong customization capabilities.
