higher nickel content
Unlike 304, it boasts higher nickel content (10%-14%) and excellent mechanical properties, making it the go-to choice for projects requiring reliability in aggressive environments, while maintaining good weldability and formability with proper processing.
Widely recognized in global industries, our 316 pipes meet strict international standards, ensuring consistent quality and traceability for global export projects.
Molybdenum-enhanced corrosion resistance:
- Outperforms 304 in chloride environments (tolerates up to 1000ppm chloride), ideal for coastal and marine applications.
- Superior high-temperature performance: Maintains stability at 1200-1300℃, suitable for high-heat industrial scenarios like refineries and steam pipelines.
- Excellent mechanical strength: Tensile strength ≥515MPa, yield strength ≥205MPa, with good ductility and wear resistance for long service life.
- Food & medical-grade compatibility: Smooth surface prevents residue accumulation, meets FDA and GMP standards for sterile fluid transfer.
- Cost-effective long-term investment: While initial cost is 30%-50% higher than 304, its durability reduces maintenance and replacement costs by 60%+ in corrosive environments.
- Full traceability & certification: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing, with complete EN 10204 3.1 mill test reports and export documentation.

Typical Applications
Leveraging its molybdenum-enhanced corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, 316 stainless steel pipe is widely used in high-demand industries worldwide:
Marine & Offshore Engineering: Seawater pipelines, ship systems, offshore platforms, and desalination plants (resists salt spray corrosion).
Chemical & Petrochemical: Acid/base transport, reactors, refinery catalytic, and corrosive media pipelines.
Food & Beverage: Dairy, brewery, and food processing equipment-ensures no metal ion leaching and meets food safety standards.
Medical & Pharmaceutical: Sterile fluid transfer lines, laboratory equipment, and medical device components (complies with GMP/ISO 13485).
Automotive: Exhaust systems and high-corrosion components (withstands high temperatures and exhaust fumes).
Architectural & Decorative: Coastal building handrails, curtain walls, and decorative tubing (maintains aesthetics in high-humidity coastal areas).
Power Generation: Boiler tubes, heat exchangers, and thermal/nuclear power plant pipelines (tolerates high temperature and pressure).
Production, Packaging & Shipping
Lead Time: In-stock standard sizes are shipped within 3–7 working days; custom seamless pipes take 15–25 working days; custom welded pipes take 10–18 working days.
Packing: Each pipe is coated with anti-rust oil, wrapped in waterproof PE film, bundled with high-strength steel strapping, and secured on wooden pallets or in wooden cases-preventing scratches and corrosion during ocean transport. Custom packaging is available.
Loading Ports: Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, Qingdao (diverse shipping routes to reduce global transportation costs).
Shipping Terms: EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP-supports global port delivery and door-to-door service.
Documents: Full set of export documents, including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, and EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate (MTC), ensuring smooth customs clearance worldwide.
