ASTM A270 Grade TP316L stainless steel sanitary tubing from Hebei K-Steel Pipe Industry is specifically designed for high-purity and corrosive-resistant applications in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage, and cosmetic industries. Manufactured in accordance with ASTM A270 standards, this tubing offers excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, thanks to its low carbon content (0.03% max) and molybdenum addition.
Key Features:
1) Typically available in OD sizes from 1/2" to 6" or metric equivalents, with wall thickness schedules meeting sanitary requirements
2) Polished internal and external surfaces for hygienic applications
3) Excellent corrosion resistance in chloride-containing and sanitary environments
4) Suitable for orbital welding, tri-clamp fittings, and other sanitary connections
