SS Seamless Tubes Grade 316L Diameter 10mm X 0.9mm Thickness

Grade 316L is a low-carbon variant of the 316 stainless steel family, which is known for its resistance to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as seawater or salty air. The "L" in 316L stands for "low carbon," meaning this version contains less carbon than the standard 316 grade. This lower carbon content helps minimize carbide precipitation during welding, which in turn reduces the likelihood of corrosion at welded joints..

The 10 mm diameter seamless tube is relatively small, making it ideal for specific applications that require precision and compact tubing. These tubes are commonly used in delicate systems, such as instrumentation lines, hydraulic systems, and medical devices, where space is at a premium, but performance cannot be compromised.

Tube thickness plays a crucial role in determining the strength, flexibility, and weight of the tube. At 0.9 mm thickness, the tube offers a balance between flexibility and strength. Thinner walls (like 0.9 mm) are typically used in applications where the tubing needs to be lightweight yet durable, such as in laboratory equipment, HVAC systems, and lightweight industrial frameworks.

This specific size of 316L seamless tube—10 mm in diameter and 0.9 mm in thickness—makes it suitable for applications that demand precision without sacrificing strength. It’s an ideal choice for situations where both space and weight are critical factors, such as aerospace, automotive, or miniature hydraulic systems.

316L stainless steel also excels in high-temperature environments. It can withstand temperatures up to 870°C (1600°F) without losing its structural integrity. Additionally, its mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation, make it a suitable choice for applications requiring both heat resistance and mechanical strength, like furnaces and heat exchangers.
