316L Stainless Steel Pipe 6 inch Sch 40

316L stainless steel pipe 6 inch Sch 40 is a seamless austenitic pipe supplied with a 168.3 mm outside diameter and a 7.11 mm nominal wall. Its low-carbon 316L chemistry resists chloride pitting and intergranular corrosion after welding, which makes it a standard choice for petrochemical, chemical and process piping.

Specifications

This item sits within our wider range of stainless steel pipe, supplied in sizes from 1/2 inch to 12 inch in grades 304, 304L, 316 and 316L.

Applications

Typical applications include process lines, heat exchanger and condenser tubing, reactor and column piping, acid and solvent transfer, and utility piping in refineries and chemical plants. Because 316L keeps its corrosion resistance in the welded condition, the 6 inch Sch 40 size is often specified for headers and manifolds that are fabricated and field welded. It is also used in desalination, pulp and paper, and food processing plants where hygienic, low-carbon stainless is preferred.
