ASTM A790 S31803 DUPLEX Stainless Steel PIPE
ASTM A790 S31803 is a specification for duplex stainless steel
pipe. Duplex stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that
contains both austenite and ferrite phases in its microstructure,
which gives it enhanced mechanical properties and corrosion
resistance compared to traditional stainless steels.
The S31803 grade refers to the specific composition of the duplex
stainless steel, which typically consists of around 22% chromium,
5-6% nickel, 3% molybdenum, and small amounts of other elements
such as nitrogen and manganese.
ASTM A790 is the standard specification for seamless and welded
duplex stainless steel pipe. It covers pipes of various sizes and
wall thicknesses, and specifies the requirements for chemical
composition, mechanical properties, and testing methods.
The S31803 duplex stainless steel pipe is commonly used in various
industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and marine
applications. It offers excellent resistance to corrosion, high
strength, and good weldability.
Overall, ASTM A790 S31803 duplex stainless steel pipe is a reliable
and versatile material that is suitable for a wide range of
applications.
