A312 TP 321 / 321H STAINLESS STEEL SEAMLESS TUBES

The A312 TP 321/321H stainless steel tubes are a type of tubing widely used in various industrial applications. These tubes are crafted from stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy known for its durability and strength. The "A312" designation refers to the ASTM A312 standard, which outlines the specifications for seamless, welded, and heavily cold worked austenitic stainless steel pipes.The "TP 321/321H" designation indicates the specific grade of stainless steel used in these tubes. Stainless steel grade 321 is a stabilized version of 304, primarily containing titanium to prevent carbide precipitation during welding, which could lead to intergranular corrosion.

ASTM A312 TP 321.321H STAINLESS STEEL TUBES

Grade 321H is a higher carbon version of 321, designed for high-temperature applications. These tubes find application in a range of industries including petrochemical, chemical, food processing, and more. They are especially valued for their resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environments. Their seamless construction ensures minimal weak points, while their welded counterparts are suitable for less demanding environments.


A312 TP 321/321H stainless steel tubes are often used in processes involving fluids or gases that require a high level of purity and resistance to corrosion. Their properties make them well-suited for use in heat exchangers, boiler tubes, superheaters, and other components in demanding industrial settings. It's important to note that proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of these tubes in service.
