Stainless Steel 348H Concentric Reducer Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 348H Concentric Reducer (SS348HCR) is a stainless steel alloy comprising 18% chromium, 12-14% nickel, and 2-4% molybdenum – known as B16. This resilient austenitic alloy was created to increase temperature longevity for chemical engineering applications requiring improved resistance to oxidation, carburization, and moderate corrosion or heat. The B16 designation makes the stainless Steel 348H Concentric Reducer an essential choice by industrial engineers for use in hoppers, supports, beams, deflection systems and pressurized piping due to its superior thermal performance properties. This alloy offers excellent toughness and high yield strength with diverse temperatures and pressures, so Stainless Steel 348H Concentric Reducer is an intelligent solution for many industrial applications.

SS 348H Concentric Reducers are used for various commercial, industrial, and process piping applications. The alloy is known for its exceptional strength at elevated temperatures and excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and stress cracking. Its high chromium content provides good oxidation resistance in dry air up to 1038°C. Additionally, the material has high mechanical strength even at abnormal temperatures and is therefore often found in applications that require fast flow rate transitions and high operating temperatures. Generally speaking, the material meets various industry standards, including BSI, ASTM A403, ASME SA403, ANSI B16>9, and MSS SP-43.
