Other Features:

1) Chemical and Physical characteristic: durable, corrosion resistant and high-temperature resistant

2) We also produce pipes with special specifications according to customers’ requirements;

TP316L STAINLESS STEEL SEAMLESS PIPE  is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids.

It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stiffer per unit weight than solid members.

TP316L SMLS pipe is formed by drawing a solid billet over a piercing rod to create the hollow shell. As the manufacturing process does not include any welding, seamless pipes are perceived to be stronger and more reliable.

Historically seamless pipe was regarded as withstanding pressure better than other types, and was often more easily available than welded pipe.
