316 / 316L Stainless Steel Pipe
TW Metals, a trusted metals pipe supplier, offers a range of 316/316L stainless steel pipes, with an inventory tailored to meet industry requirements. These grades of austenitic stainless steel offer many of the same characteristics and advantages as 304/304L, but they have an added element that elevates their corrosion resistance: molybdenum. At TW Metals, we prioritize the quality and reliability of our products, with most of our inventory being dual-grade specified or with multiple specifications, including ASTM, ASME, MIL-P, and the European standard PED 97/23EC.
Common Industry Applications for 316/316L Stainless Steel Pipe
