Stainless Steel 316, 316L, and 316H Pipe Fittings are components used in piping systems made from these specific grades of stainless steel. These fittings play a crucial role in connecting and directing the flow of liquids or gases within industrial pipelines.
Stainless Steel 316 is an austenitic stainless steel alloy with a chromium-nickel content. It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride environments, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The alloy contains molybdenum, enhancing its resistance to corrosion and providing strength at elevated temperatures. Stainless Steel 316 is commonly used in chemical processing, marine environments, and the manufacturing of pharmaceutical equipment.
Stainless Steel 316L is a low-carbon variation of Stainless Steel 316, with a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. The reduced carbon content minimizes the risk of sensitization during welding, making it suitable for welding applications. While it retains the corrosion resistance and high-temperature properties of 316, 316L is preferred in applications where weldability and prevention of carbide precipitation are critical. It is commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices.
Stainless Steel 316H is a high-carbon variant of Stainless Steel 316, with a carbon content ranging from 0.04% to 0.10%. The higher carbon content enhances the alloy's high-temperature strength. It is specifically designed for elevated-temperature applications and is commonly used in heat exchangers, furnace components, and other high-temperature industrial processes. However, attention to welding practices is essential to avoid sensitization.
316 vs. 316L: The main distinction is the carbon content, with 316L having a lower carbon content to enhance weldability and reduce the risk of sensitization during welding.
316 vs. 316H: 316H has a higher carbon content, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. However, precautions must be taken during welding to avoid sensitization.

Stainless Steel 316:
Stainless Steel 316L:
Compared to 316, 316L stainless steel has a higher resistance to corrosion from chlorides and acids. This is because it has more molybdenum and less carbon.
"WP" stands for "welded pipe," indicating that the material is suitable for welding applications.
The lower carbon content in 316L improves its weldability by reducing the risk of carbide precipitation and sensitization during welding.
Due to the higher carbon content in 316H, precautions should be taken during welding to prevent sensitization and maintain corrosion resistance.
