UNS S32304 ASTM A790 Stainless Steel Pipe For Potable Water Distribution Systems
ASTM A790 UNS S32304 Stainless Steel Tube For Potable Water Distribution Systems
Specifications
ASTM A790 covers seamless and straight-seam welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel pipe intended for general-purpose applications.
ASTM A790 UNS S32304 Seamless Duplex Steel Pipe,UNS S32304 also called Duplex 2304 or 1.4362 is a lean duplex stainless steel with a balanced austenite + ferrite microstructure. It provides higher strength than 304/316 austenitic stainless steels while maintaining good resistance to general corrosion, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking—at a more cost-effective alloying content.
