ASTM A269 TP 316L Stainless Steel Tubing

We offer ASTM A269 TP316L stainless steel tubing in welded and seamless processes, ASTM A269 TP316L is an austenitic stainless steel grade containing molybdenum content, and the higher nickel and low carbon content offer better overall corrosion-resistant properties than 304, especially about pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments, ASTM A269 TP316L stainless steel tubing is used for general corrosion-resisting and low-or high-temperature service.

ASTM A269 standard specifies the tubing sizes and thicknesses usually furnished to this specification are 1⁄4 in. (6.4 mm) in inside diameter and larger and 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) in nominal wall-thickness and heavier, custom sizes are available upon requirements. ASTM A269 TP316L tubing can be finished in bright annealing (BA) and polished surface condition.

ASTM A269/A269M Abstract

Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Tubing for General Service

This specification covers nominal-wall-thickness, seamless and welded austenitic steel tubing for general corrosion-resisting and low- or high-temperature service.

All material shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition. The steel shall conform to the chemical composition requirements. Different mechanical test requirements that includes, including the flaring test, flange test, hardness test, and reverse flattening test are presented. Also, each tube shall be subjected to the non-destructive electric test or the hydrostatic test. Finally, the hardness requirements for different grades of tubes are highlighted.

Material furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of the current edition of Specification A1016/A1016M, unless otherwise provided herein.
