Stainless Steel 304 Pipes are corrosion-resistant piping material made from a versatile austenitic stainless steel alloy known as 304. This alloy contains chromium and nickel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and high temperatures. SS 304 Pipes are widely used in various industries such as construction, chemical, and food processing due to their durability and hygienic properties. These pipes are known for their formability, weldability, and strength, making them popular for conveying fluids and gases in various applications.

We offer These Stainless Steel 304 Pipes as per DIN, ISO, JIS or ANSI Standard.
Stainless Steel 304 Pipes applications are as diverse as the industries they serve driven primarily by the aerospace, railway, construction and automotive industries with petrochemical, nuclear, medical, Oil & Gas, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, Nuclear, Thermal Power plants, Paper and Pulp, marine and mining, etc.
Stainless Steel 304 pipes are sized based on their nominal pipe size (NPS), which is a standardized designation that doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual dimensions of the pipe. The NPS is a North American standard that indicates the approximate inside diameter of the pipe. Additionally, stainless steel pipes are specified by their schedule, which denotes the wall thickness. Common schedules include SCH 5, SCH 10, SCH 40, and SCH 80. The combination of NPS and schedule determines the pipe’s dimensions and pressure rating. It’s essential to consider the specific requirements of your application, such as pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility, when selecting the right size and schedule for Stainless Steel 304 pipes.
Stainless Steel 304 pipes are generally not recommended for cryogenic applications where extremely low temperatures are involved, such as those below -100°C (-148°F). While Stainless Steel 304 offers excellent corrosion resistance and strength at room temperature and moderately low temperatures, it becomes susceptible to brittleness and reduced mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures. For cryogenic applications, stainless steel alloys with better cryogenic properties, such as Stainless Steel 304L or Stainless Steel 316, are typically preferred due to their improved toughness and ductility at low temperatures.
Yes, Stainless Steel 304 pipes can be used for underground applications with proper precautions and considerations. However, it’s important to ensure that the stainless steel pipes are adequately protected against corrosion, which is particularly critical in underground environments where they may be exposed to moisture, soil, and other corrosive elements. This can be achieved through various methods such as using corrosion-resistant coatings, cathodic protection systems, or selecting Stainless Steel 304L pipes, which have lower carbon content and thus better resistance to intergranular corrosion. Additionally, proper installation techniques, such as ensuring adequate drainage and avoiding direct contact with dissimilar metals, can further enhance the longevity and performance of Stainless Steel 304 pipes in underground applications.
Yes, Stainless Steel 304 pipes can be welded using various welding techniques such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, or SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding). However, it’s important to use appropriate welding procedures and filler materials to ensure a strong and durable weld joint while minimizing the risk of corrosion or sensitization. Precautions should also be taken to avoid excessive heat input, which can lead to distortion or the formation of undesirable phases such as chromium carbides along the grain boundaries, reducing corrosion resistance. Overall, with proper welding techniques and controls, Stainless Steel 304 pipes can be successfully welded to meet the requirements of various applications.
