More Details About Each Stainless Steel Tube Grade

  • 304

    304 grade stainless is common in the oil and gas industries, as well as in the food service industry. Because of its high strength, corrosion resistance, and formability, it is one of the most popular stainless steel grades. It also has a chemical composition with lower carbon content and good ductility.

  • 304L

    304L is the ultra-low carbon variant of 304 stainless. It is more resistant to intergranular corrosion than 304.

  • 316L

    316L is the ultra-low carbon variant of 316 stainless. Some applications for this stainless steel grade include: chemical processing equipment, furnace pans, and marine applications. Excellent corrosion resistance makes it a top choice for heat exchangers, jet engine parts, evaporators, textile processing equipment, and tubing exposed to marine environments.

  • 409

    409 grade stainless steel tube shows excellent corrosion resistance making it useful in applications like automotive and truck exhaust systems, heat exchangers, agricultural spreaders, fuel filters, gas turbine exhaust silencers, and other applications where toughness and weldability are required.
