Materials

Stainless Steel Grades

Grade Material
304 Stainless Steel Tubing: Good for corrosion resistance: Most widely used stainless steel with good formability and can be readily welded.
304L Stainless Steel Tubing: Good for corrosion resistance: Offers better weld-ability than standard 304 Stainless Steel.
316 Stainless Steel Tubing: Better for corrosion resistance: Offers higher strength at higher temperature than 304 Stainless Steel.
316L Stainless Steel Tubing: Better for corrosion resistance: Offers better weld-ability than standard 316 Stainless Steel.
Other Grades & Materials Connect with us for availability of other stainless steel tubing alloys and other materials.
  • Material: “Material” specification is required, and can contain any number of digits (text and/or numeric) between one (1) and four (4).
  • Tolerance Level: “Tolerance Level” is for Fractional Tubing. Please indicate F1 or F2.
  • Nominal OD: “OD” (outside diameter) specification is required and must contain from two (2) to four (4) numeric digits. (i.e., .032″ = 0032, 5mm = 05)
  • By Sign: Inclusion of a “by sign” (X) is required at this position for most sizes.
  • Nominal Wall: “Wall” thickness specification is required for most sizes and must contain three (3) numeric digits. (.006″ = 006, .035″ = 035)
  • Mfg. Type (WD or SL): Welded (WD) or Seamless (SL) material specification is required.
  • Category: “Category” specification is required and must contain one text digit as follows:
    • F = Fractional
    • H = Hypodermic
    • M = Metric
    • P = Pipe
    • B = Bar/Wire
