ASTM A213 TP316L Stainless Steel Seamless Tube Heat Exchanger
ASTM A213 TP316L stainless steel seamless tube is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel tube designed for high-pressure, high-temperature applications such as boilers, heat exchangers, and superheaters.
Our ASTM A213 TP316L tubes are available in hot-drawn or cold-drawn versions. SA213 TP316L seamless tubes are manufactured using an extrusion process. This process involves extruding a high-temperature steel billet to precisely achieve the required dimensions. ASTM A213 UNS S316L00 seamless tubes feature a seamless design, extremely high strength, and a load-bearing capacity 20% higher than welded tubes. ASTM A213 TP316L tubes are available in outer diameters from 1/2 inch to 12 inches, and in lengths of single, double, random, and fixed lengths.

Comparison of ASTM A213 TP316L with other Common Materials
1.vs. 304/304L: The 304/304L series contains no molybdenum and is significantly less resistant to chloride corrosion than 316/316L. Therefore, 304 is a more economical choice for less corrosive environments.
2.vs. 316: The key difference between 316L and 316 lies in its carbon content. If equipment requires extensive welding or undergoes heat treatment during manufacturing, 316L is essential to avoid intergranular corrosion, while standard 316 can be used for simpler components that don't require welding.
