Stainless Steel 317L Instrumentation Fittings

Developed specifically for use within corrosive environments, Stainless Steel 317L instrumentation fittings are composed primarily of iron, chromium and nickel. The chromium content gives the material its corrosion resistance in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres, while nickel strengthens the alloy by forming an austenitic structure. Additional elements such as molybdenum, manganese, silicon and sulfur are also present to improve mechanical properties and formability, making them ideal for tubing. All these materials ensure that Stainless Steel 317L instrumentation fittings remain strong and durable even when exposed to moisture and chemicals, thus lasting for a long time.

Thanks to their significant benefits, 317L Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings are popular for instrumentation systems. They offer excellent corrosion resistance to acidic solutions and chlorides, making them ideal for applications like chemical processing industries and hydrochloric acid processing. Additionally, they feature good high-temperature strength and can handle temperatures up to 1595°F, making them suitable for high-heat equipment. These fittings also boast outstanding formability and weldability. Their smooth internal surfaces provide leak-tight joints with minimum restrictions on the flow of engineering fluids and gases. Furthermore, high levels of chromium in these fittings increase their durability, providing ultimate performance longevity. As such, Stainless Steel 317L Instrumentation Fittings are an optimal choice for any application that requires corrosion resistance and durability in extreme temperatures.
