Superior Material and Mechanical PropertiesSS 321/321H Pipe Fittings offer high tensile (minimum 515 MPa) and yield (minimum 205 MPa) strength, paired with an elongation of at least 35%. These properties, along with a density of 7.9 g/cm and rigidity, make the fittings suitable for high-pressure and extreme temperature applications. The combination of durability and mechanical strength ensures consistent performance in critical operations.
Versatile Applications and Connection OptionsAvailable in diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 36 inch and thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 12 mm, these fittings fit a wide variety of pipeline systems. With options for metal-to-metal sealing, NPT/BSP threading, or butt weld and socket weld connections, SS 321/321H Pipe Fittings adapt to various requirements in processing plants, refineries, and pipelines. This makes them ideal for transporting fluids under tough industrial conditions.
Testing, Quality Assurance, and PackingEvery fitting undergoes rigorous quality testing, such as hydrostatic, PMI, ultrasonic, and radiography tests, to guarantee safety and compliance. The surface is treated (polished or pickled) and packed securely in wooden boxes, cartons, or customized packaging to prevent damage during shipment. This attention to quality ensures the fittings reach you in optimal condition and are reliable in the field.
FAQs of Stainless Steel 321321H Pipe Fittings:
Q: How are Stainless Steel 321/321H Pipe Fittings manufactured?
