Stainless Steel 317 Equal Cross Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 317 Equal Cross Pipe Fittings are composed of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum and manganese as their primary elements. Chromium is the ingredient that makes this alloy stainless steel and provides corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. Nickel boosts corrosion protection, while molybdenum helps to get uniform connections and improves the mechanical characteristics of the metal. Nickel also enhances its strength, while manganese gives a high hardness capability. While durable and robust, Alloy 317 offers excellent flexibility and formability. It is an ideal material for both machining and welding processes because it combines materials in its composition.

317 Stainless Steel Equal Cross Pipe Fittings connect or branch four separate pipes together. They are commonly used in transporting fluids with different pressure ratings and in applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The benefits of using Stainless Steel 317 pipe fittings over other materials are their superior corrosion and pressure-resistant properties due to the addition of molybdenum in their chemical composition. This allows it to be used in extreme temperatures and high chlorine environments, making it one of the most popular industrial piping materials today. As a bonus, they require little to no maintenance, making them durable and cost-effective over their lifetime.
