For applications involving aggressive chemicals, high chloride concentrations, and acidic compounds, our fittings provide the robust, long-lasting connections your critical systems require. We are committed to delivering excellence and reliability in every product we supply.

What Are 317/317L Pipe Fittings?

317/317L Pipe Fittings are specialized components used to connect, control, and branch piping systems in severely corrosive environments. What sets them apart from other stainless steel grades is their higher molybdenum content (over 3%). This enrichment gives them significantly better general and localized corrosion resistance than both the 304 and 316 grades, especially against pitting and crevice corrosion caused by chlorides.

The two grades in this family offer distinct advantages:

These products are manufactured under specifications like ASTM A403, with the designation ASTM A403 WP317L fittings confirming that they meet the stringent chemical and mechanical requirements for pressure piping in harsh service.

Heat Treatment & Tolerances of 317/317L Pipe Fittings

The final quality and reliability of a pipe fitting are heavily influenced by two critical manufacturing stages: heat treatment and dimensional control.

Heat Treatment Requirements of 317/317L Pipe Fittings

All our 317/317L Pipe Fittings are supplied in a fully solution-annealed condition. This heat treatment process, which involves heating the fittings to a range of 1040-1125°C (1900-2055°F) followed by rapid cooling, is essential. It relieves internal stresses from the forming process, dissolves any harmful chromium carbides, and restores the material to its maximum state of corrosion resistance and toughness.

Dimensional Tolerances of 317/317L Pipe Fittings

For a piping system to be leak-proof and efficient, every component must fit perfectly. We manufacture our fittings to the strict dimensional tolerances of ASME B16.9 (for buttweld fittings) and ASME B16.11 (for forged fittings). This ensures that every angle, diameter, and end preparation is precise, guaranteeing a seamless installation and reliable, long-term service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1. When should I use 317L instead of 316L?

You should choose 317L when your application involves more severe corrosive conditions, especially those with high chloride concentrations or strong acids. The higher molybdenum content in 317L stainless steel pipe fittings provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 316L.

2. Is 317L good for welding?

Yes, 317L is excellent for welding. The 'L' grade's low carbon content prevents sensitization at the weld, ensuring that the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone is maintained. This makes it the preferred choice for fabricated components.

3. Are these fittings suitable for high-temperature service?

While 317L is primarily known for its corrosion resistance at ambient and moderate temperatures, it can be used in some elevated temperature applications. However, for continuous service at very high temperatures, grades like 310S or other heat-resistant alloys are generally recommended.

4. What certifications do you provide with the fittings?

We provide a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) according to EN 10204 3.1 with every order. This certificate provides full traceability and documents the material's precise chemical composition and mechanical properties, guaranteeing it meets the specified standards.

5. How quickly can I receive my order?

For standard sizes and types in our inventory, we can typically dispatch your order within 24 to 48 hours. For custom or large-volume orders, we will provide a specific delivery schedule with your quote. Our efficient manufacturing processes ensure we can meet even tight project deadlines.
