Stainless Steel 348H Instrumentation Fittings

Stainless Steel 348H Instrumentation Fittings comprise chromium, niobium, and carbon. Chromium provides the steel with corrosion-resistant properties as it binds to oxygen to form an invisible surface layer. The niobium stabilizes the microstructure by forming carbides and preventing grain boundary precipitation. Additionally, the carbon creates a martensitic-austenite balance in combination with nickel and nitrogen, which improves mechanical strength and increases pressure tolerance throughout the material. This makes Stainless Steel 348H ideal for instrumentation fittings in environments where the equipment must retain a high level of integrity to keep them from becoming corrupted or weakened.

348H Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings are renowned for their corrosion resistance, durability and performance. These fittings are used in critical steam and air systems, oil refineries and seawater piping applications for superior safety levels. Their ability to withstand high temperatures, up to 815°C, makes them ideal for use when heat is a factor, such as in Control Valves, onshore/offshore exploration and production systems and natural gas plants. Moreover, they can endure corrosive liquids or gases because of their molybdenum content. Additionally, provide excellent forms of protection against elevated temperatures, stress corrosion cracking and various other conditions, such as thermal cycling. Stainless Steel 348H Instrumentation Fittings offer numerous industrial benefits, which have made them a popular choice amongst industry professionals.
