ASTM A213 TP316 Tube (Pipe) Supplier & Exporter in Mumbai

ASTM A213 TP316 Tube is an austenitic stainless steel seamless tube designed for high-temperature and high-pressure service. The addition of molybdenum significantly improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-containing environments.

Manufactured under ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 specifications, TP316 tubes are widely used in boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, and process piping systems where superior corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength are required. Although commonly referred to as a “pipe” in trade terminology, ASTM A213 technically covers seamless stainless steel tubes.

Key Features of ASTM A213 TP316

  • Enhanced Chemical Composition
    Contains 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. The molybdenum addition significantly improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to TP304.
  • Excellent Mechanical Strength
    Designed to perform reliably under pressure and thermal stress conditions in demanding industrial environments.
  • Superior Pitting & Crevice Corrosion Resistance
    Offers strong resistance in chloride-rich environments, marine exposure, and chemical processing applications.
  • High Temperature Performance
    Maintains oxidation resistance and structural stability at elevated temperatures in boiler and heat exchanger systems.

Chemical Composition

  • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08%
  • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00%
  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045%
  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030%
  • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00%
  • Chromium (Cr): 16.0 – 18.0%
  • Nickel (Ni): 10.0 – 14.0%
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0 – 3.0%
  • Iron (Fe): Balance

Mechanical Properties (Annealed Condition – Minimum)

  • Tensile Strength: ≥ 515 MPa
  • Yield Strength (0.2% Proof): ≥ 205 MPa
  • Elongation: ≥ 35%

Applications of ASTM A213 TP316 Tube

  • Marine Industry
    Suitable for seawater exposure and saline atmospheres due to enhanced chloride resistance.
  • Chemical Processing
    Used in systems handling aggressive chemicals, solvents, and acidic environments.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry
    Ideal for high-purity systems requiring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.
  • Food & Beverage Industry
    Ensures hygiene and resistance to corrosion from food acids and cleaning chemicals.
  • Power Generation
    Commonly used in boilers, superheaters, and heat exchanger applications requiring elevated temperature performance.
