Stainless Steel 317L Reducing Nipple Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 317L Reducing Nipple Pipe Fittings feature a unique chemical composition, utilising iron and chromium as the main components. The stainless steel features 18% chromium content, which provides resistance to various corrosion, and an addition of 11% nickel which gives superior crevice corrosion cracking resistance. The alloy also contains 3 per cent molybdenum and carrier elements like silicon, nitrogen and sulphur, making it ideal in harsh or high-temperature environments where corrosion or oxidation is present. This combination helps form a pitting-resistant surface while offering excellent heat resistance over all other steel types.

317L Stainless Steel Reducing Nipple Pipe Fittings are designed to connect pipes of different diameters with nominal pressure ratings of up to 150 PSI. Their strength and corrosion resistance make them the ideal solution for harsh environments, notably those that contain chlorides. Over time, their composition and manufacturing process has seen them become increasingly suitable for use with soda-acid fire sprinkler systems and certain acids. An example is their ability to withstand ammonia in ambient temperatures from -20°C and +125°C. Another key benefit is their cost-effectiveness. Given the durability and longevity associated with these fitting types, users typically measure return on investment sooner than alternative products.
