Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.
Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). There is commonly no appreciable price difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel.
The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.
Compared to chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels, 316L stainless steel offers higher creep, stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures.
These properties are specified for flat rolled product (plate, sheet and coil) in ASTM A240/A240M. Similar but not necessarily identical properties are specified for other products such as pipe and bar in their respective specifications.

Seamless coiled tubing is the preferred choice in critical applications, as it eliminates the risk of impurities often associated with welded coiled tubing.
With over ten years of experience exporting stainless steel tube products, we operate state-of-the-art production lines capable of producing continuous welded pipe. Utilizing world-class bright annealing technology, we perform online stainless steel pipe softening treatment alongside comprehensive testing: compressed, flaring, bending test, 100% hardness, stretch, and air tightness tests, ensuring reliable quality and industry-standard precision.
Grade 316L is the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). It offers higher creep, stress to rupture, and tensile strength at elevated temperatures compared to typical chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels, making it excellent for heavy gauge welded components.
Seamless coiled tubing is the optimal choice for critical applications because it carries zero risk of impurities, which are sometimes associated with welded tubing. It improves system safety, provides higher corrosion resistance, and eliminates the need for joints and fittings, reducing leak potential.
The common outer diameter ranges from 6.52mm to 20mm with wall thicknesses between 0.2mm and 2.0mm. Tolerances are precisely maintained with OD at ±0.1mm, wall thickness at ±10%, and length options from 300 to 3500 meters per coil.
Comprehensive quality control tests are applied, including compression, flaring, bending, 100% hardness, stretch, and air tightness tests, ensuring high tolerance precision and uniform wall thickness.
Stainless steel coiled tubing is widely used in refrigeration equipment, evaporators, gas-liquid delivery systems, condensers, beverage machines, petrochemical plants, CNG piping, boilers, desalination facilities, and geothermal plants.
