Stainless Steel UNS S31600 Instrumentation Fittings

Stainless Steel UNS S31600 Instrumentation Fittings are made from an alloy containing a minimum of 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. This material also contains small amounts of silicon, nitrogen, manganese and carbon. The high levels of chromium and molybdenum aid in corrosion resistance and lend themselves to marine-grade applicability, such as oil pipelines. The small amount of nickel allows austenitization to higher temperatures, enabling cold forming to achieve the required shapes. The low levels of carbon provide maximum strength without reducing ductility or hardness after welding, thus allowing the design requirements to be met with assurance at a reasonable cost.

SS UNS S31600 Instrumentation Fittings are high-performance components that provide a secure connection between fluid lines and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. These fittings are widely utilized in the instrumentation, hydraulic, pneumatic, and oil & gas industries and feature excellent humidity resistance and superior strength and durability. The corrosion-resistant steel alloy allows for safe connections when transporting liquids, gases, and chemicals between insulators, valves and other devices. Additionally, the UNS S31600 stainless steel offers superior ease of maintenance; its smooth surface does not require frequent cleaning or painting to remain corrosion free. In summary, Stainless Steel UNS S31600 Instrumentation Fittings are highly trusted by manufacturers for their many attractive features such as strength, corrosion resistance and easy maintenance.
