Product Description

The Austenitic Stainless Steel Welded Pipe is manufactured from high-quality austenitic stainless steel coils or sheets, formed into a cylindrical shape, and longitudinally welded using advanced Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) or Laser welding technologies. Austenitic grades are characterized by their face-centered cubic crystal structure, which provides excellent formability, toughness at cryogenic temperatures, and outstanding corrosion resistance. This welded pipe offers a cost-effective alternative to seamless pipe while delivering reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications.

Key Features of Austenitic Welded Pipe
  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Resists oxidation, organic acids, and many inorganic chemicals

  • Good Formability – Can be bent, flanged, and swaged without cracking

  • Toughness at Low Temperatures – Retains impact strength down to cryogenic ranges (-196°C)

  • Non-Magnetic – Low magnetic permeability in annealed condition

  • Cost-Effective – Lower cost than seamless pipe for equivalent wall thickness

  • Consistent Wall Thickness – High dimensional accuracy from coil feed stock

  • Wide Size Range – Available in large diameters up to 48 inches (1219 mm)

Weld Quality Assurance
Inspection MethodPurpose
100% Hydrostatic TestingVerifies pressure integrity
Eddy Current Testing (ECT)Detects surface and subsurface defects
Radiographic Testing (RT)Inspects weld seam quality (upon request)
Dye Penetrant Testing (PT)Identifies surface cracks in weld zone
Helium Leak TestingFor high-purity and vacuum applications
Applications
  • Chemical and Petrochemical – Low to moderate pressure process lines

  • Food and Beverage – Dairy, brewery, juice, and edible oil piping

  • Pharmaceutical – Clean steam and purified water distribution

  • Water Treatment – Potable water, reverse osmosis, and wastewater lines

  • HVAC and Plumbing – Chilled water, condenser water, and heating systems

  • Architectural – Handrails, guardrails, and decorative structures

  • Paper and Pulp – Low-corrosion service lines

  • Fire Protection – Sprinkler system piping (NFPA compliant)

  • Automotive – Exhaust system components (400 series available)
