316L Stainless Steel Welded Cross Fitting for Chemical Processing Applications
As a specialized manufacturer based in Shanghai, China, Shanghai Quanbao Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd. delivers precision-engineered 316L Stainless Steel Welded Cross Fittings designed specifically for demanding chemical processing environments. Our fittings ensure exceptional fluid handling integrity, critical for maintaining safety and efficiency in corrosive applications where leakage is unacceptable. Engineered with industry-leading material science, these components provide long-term reliability in aggressive media transfer systems.
Core Advantages for Chemical Applications:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: 316L's low carbon content and molybdenum addition offer enhanced protection against pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich or acidic environments common in chemical plants.
- Zero-Leak Welded Construction: Precision TIG welding ensures seamless, homogeneous joints that eliminate potential leak paths inherent in threaded alternatives, crucial for handling hazardous chemicals.
- High-Purity Fluid Path: Electropolishing option minimizes surface adhesion and biofilm formation, maintaining fluid purity in pharmaceutical or food-grade chemical processes.
- Thermal & Pressure Stability: Maintains structural integrity under thermal cycling and system pressure fluctuations common in reaction vessels and transfer lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: How does 316L compare to 304 for sulfuric acid service?
A: 316L offers superior resistance, especially at lower concentrations and elevated temperatures, due to its molybdenum content which inhibits acid attack. -
Q: Can these fittings handle high-purity deionized water?
A: Yes, especially with electropolished finish, which minimizes ionic contamination and particle shedding. -
Q: Are weld procedures qualified?
A> Yes, our welding follows qualified WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications) for 316L stainless steel. -
Q: What is the lead time for custom sizes?
A> Standard sizes ship in 2-3 weeks. Custom dimensions typically require 4-6 weeks; expedited service is available. -
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A> Yes, Mill Test Certificates (MTC) or Certified Material Test Reports (CMTR) are supplied with every shipment. -
Q: Can fittings be supplied with beveled ends?
A> Absolutely. Standard bevels per ASME B16.25 are provided unless otherwise specified. -
Q: Is passivation included?
A> Yes, nitric acid passivation per ASTM A967 is standard to enhance corrosion resistance. -
Q: What is your MOQ?
A> Small orders are accepted. Volume discounts apply for quantities exceeding 50 pieces.
