ASTM A403 WP316L Low Carbon Stainless Steel Reducing Tee
TOBO supplies ASTM A403 WP316L low carbon stainless steel reducing tees, the welding-optimized variant of 316. With maximum carbon content of 0.03%, WP316L eliminates the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding without requiring post-weld heat treatment, making it the ideal choice for field-fabricated piping systems in corrosive service.
Product Description
- Product: Stainless Steel Reducing Tee - Low Carbon Grade
- Material Grade: ASTM A403 WP316L (UNS S31603 / 1.4404)
- Size Range: 1/2" - 24" (DN15 - DN600) Seamless
- Wall Thickness: SCH10S, SCH40S, SCH80S, SCH160, STD, XS, XXS
- Type: Reducing Tee, Seamless Butt Weld
- Standards: ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11, ASME B16.28, MSS SP-43
WP316L Chemical Composition
| Element | C | Mn | Si | Cr | Ni | Mo | P | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WP316L (%) | ≤0.035 | ≤2.00 | ≤1.00 | 16.0-18.0 | 10.0-14.0 | 2.0-3.0 | ≤0.045 | ≤0.030 |
Why Choose WP316L Over WP316?
| Feature | WP316L | WP316 |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Content | ≤0.035% (Low Carbon) | ≤0.08% |
| Post-Weld Sensitization | Not Susceptible | Possible in heavy sections |
| Post-Weld Heat Treatment | Not Required | Recommended for thick sections |
| Intergranular Corrosion Test | Passes as-welded (ASTM A262) | Requires annealed condition |
| Field Welding | Ideal | Good with precautions |
Key Advantages
- Weld Without Worry: Low carbon eliminates chromium carbide precipitation risk during welding, no post-weld heat treatment needed
- As-Welded Corrosion Resistance: Maintains full intergranular corrosion resistance in the as-welded condition per ASTM A262 Practice E
- Field Fabrication Friendly: Ideal for construction projects where post-weld annealing is impractical or impossible
- Full Molybdenum Benefits: Retains all the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance advantages of WP316 with added weldability
- Dual Certified Availability: Can be supplied as WP316/316L dual certified for maximum flexibility
Applications
Field-fabricated chemical piping, offshore platform process piping, pharmaceutical clean systems, semiconductor gas distribution, food and beverage processing lines, brewery and dairy piping, water injection systems, fire water ring mains
