Stainless Steel 347 Equal Cross Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 347 Equal Cross Pipe Fittings are made of a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel alloy with Grade 347 as the base metal. This alloy comprises 18% chromium, 8-10% nickel, and other elements in trace amounts like nitrogen, iron, carbon, manganese and silicon. Combining these elements improves corrosion resistance against chloride pitting corrosion cracking compared to its 304-grade counterpart. Stainless Steel 347 is also slightly more rigid and more resistant to scaling at elevated temperatures than its 304 counterparts, making it an ideal choice for any application requiring increased high-temperature service safety or access to corrosive media environments.

347 Stainless steel equal cross pipe fittings are a highly sought-after product in the piping and plumbing industry due to their advantageous properties. With the addition of columbium (or niobium) to its composition, SS347 pipes have excellent resistance to corrosion in notching environments like seawater or acidic conditions. This makes them a prime choice for chemical industries with hazardous materials or locations near coastlines. Furthermore, these stainless steel parts can withstand high-temperature services ranging from 800℉ – 1650℉. As such, they are widely used in various industries such as oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and food processing that require strict hygienic standards. Apart from this, SS347 produces good tensile strength and flexibility even at subzero temperatures while maintaining formability and weldability to suit the demands of any project.
