Stainless Steel 316/316H/316L/316TI Pipe Fittings

SS 316/316l/316h/316ti pipe fittings types
Bushing :- Hexagonal bushing is manufactured as per b16.11 and are available in different size for connecting the two threaded items.
Tees:- Tees are used in places where a split or change in the direction is needed. Tees usually gives a change of 90 degree to the pipes. There are two categories- reduced and equal tee. Equal tee is one for same size of branch and header pipe. The reduced tee finds application where these two pipes differ in sizes. The ends of these tee are either butt-welded, threaded or have socket extremities. The dimensions of stainless steel 316/316l/316h/316ti pipe fittings are defined by the mss sp-75 and ASME b16.9.

Coupling
Coupling joins two pipes together and has either threaded or socket weld extremities. Some couplings have combination of both the extremities. Half coupling connects pipe and fitting and also has one of the two extremities.

About grade of stainless steel 316/316l/316h/316ti pipe fittings
Grade 316:- This has molybdenum to enhance the pitting chloride, corrosion resistance properties while expanding the strength of fittings. Sulfuric acid, formic, hydrochloric, alkaline chlorides, acid sulphates and tartaric acid shows less or no effect on pipe fittings due to enhanced resistant properties.
Grade 316l:- This however has same properties but additionally show resistance to intergranular corrosion. Also, this stainless steel pipe fitting contains low carbon which gives this addition property.
Grade 316h:- It has higher carbon making it suitable for number of applications.
Grade 316 ti:- This contains titanium which further enhances the properties with an exception making it suitable in sensitization atmosphere. Common characteristics of stainless steel 316/316l/316h/316ti pipe fittings are excellent formability, higher creep resistance and rupture strength.
