Stainless Steel 316
Stainless Steel 316 has the same contents with a minor variation belonging to series 300 of Stainless Steel. The chromium is between 16.5-18.5%, Carbon is 0.07%, Nickel is 10-13%, Molybdenum is 2-2.5%. The Ultimate Tensile Strength is 50000-70000 MPa at 20°C, and the Yielding Strength is 20000 MPa at 20°C. The Molybdenum content in SS316 is more than other grades so that makes it much more resistant to pitting and corrosion and the fluctuating temperature would have no effects on SS 316. Thus SS 316 grades are relative.
Forged Fittings
Fittings are parts or instruments used in the piping system to connect straight pipes, bent pipes, etc. for running the water or fluid continuously avoiding any leakage. These are called pipe fittings in normal terms however they are also named as per their materials and used and one such is Forged Fittings. The Forged Fittings are forged by machines and are relatively stronger and heavier than the usual ones. These fittings are made up of Stainless Steel are widely renowned for their durability, hefty finish, exact dimensions, optimum design, and resistance. The forged fittings made up of Stainless Steel make better pipe fittings.
Application of Stainless Steel 316 Forged Fittings
The Forged Fittings find an application in a wide range of industries all depending on its properties. Chemical Industry uses Stainless Steel forged fittings due to their corrosion-resistant property and is durable as it does not get affected by chemicals. In Food, Beverage, and Dairy industries other materials cannot be used as there happens to be chemical reactions on exposure which is not the condition with Stainless Steel as it goes with everything but it requires frequent cleanings. Just like Chemical Industry, Oil and Gas also rely on stainless steel fittings and vessels for durability and certain resistance. The other major industries that make use of SS forged fittings are Petroleum refinery sectors like catalytic, Power Generation plants, Thermal plants, Nuclear Plants, Solar Power Plants, Petrochemical and Refineries, Marine, Dredging, Offshore and Onshore drilling, Pharmaceutical industry, Paper Production. Forged Fittings are mostly used in construction, the fittings required for construction purposes are bigger than the ordinary ones.
