Wave Spring for Oil & Gas Pipeline Seals 316 Stainless Steel 15mm ID 28mm OD 0.5mm Wire
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory is proud to present our premium 316 Stainless Steel Wave Spring designed specifically for oil and gas pipeline sealing applications. With an inner diameter of 15mm, outer diameter of 28mm, and a wire diameter of 0.5mm, this spring delivers reliable axial load and consistent sealing force under demanding conditions. As a manufacturer with over two decades of experience, we ensure that every spring meets the rigorous standards required by the energy industry.
Our wave springs are engineered to replace traditional coil springs in tight radial spaces, offering significant weight and space savings while maintaining high force output. The use of 316 stainless steel guarantees exceptional corrosion resistance against harsh chemicals, saltwater, and high-temperature environments commonly found in oil and gas pipelines. Whether you need a standard size or a custom configuration, our factory is ready to deliver precision components that enhance your system's reliability.
Below we present the key technical specifications and benefits of this product to help you make an informed decision.

Advantages of Using Wave Springs in Pipeline Seals
- Space Saving: Wave springs occupy only 50% of the axial space compared to conventional coil springs, allowing compact seal designs.
- Reduced Weight: Lighter components reduce overall system weight, which is critical for offshore and subsea installations.
- Consistent Force: The wave form provides a near-linear spring rate, ensuring uniform sealing pressure over the entire deflection range.
- Corrosion Resistance: 316 stainless steel withstands sour gas (H2S), chlorides, and other aggressive media present in oil and gas environments.
- Long Service Life: Excellent fatigue resistance and minimal set reduce maintenance intervals and downtime.
- Easy Installation: Can be stacked in series or parallel to achieve desired force without changing the envelope dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical lead time for this wave spring?
A: Standard sizes are usually in stock or produced within 7–15 working days. Custom orders require additional time for tooling and production, typically 15–25 working days. -
Q: Can you provide material certificates for the 316 stainless steel?
A: Yes, mill test reports (MTR) are available upon request for each batch of raw material. -
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this spring?
A: 316 stainless steel can typically withstand up to 300°C (572°F) in continuous service, but the actual limit depends on the presence of corrosive media. We recommend discussing your specific environment with our engineers. -
Q: How do I determine the correct number of waves for my application?
A: The number of waves affects the spring rate and deflection characteristics. For pipeline seals, a common configuration is 3 to 5 waves. We can help you calculate the optimal design based on your required force and space. -
Q: Do you offer samples for testing before bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We provide free samples (subject to shipping cost) for evaluation. Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: Is this wave spring suitable for high-pressure gas seals?
A: Yes, though the spring itself provides axial preload. The sealing performance also depends on the seal material and housing design. We recommend consulting with a sealing system specialist. -
Q: Can you customize the inner and outer diameters?
A: Yes, we can produce wave springs with custom ID, OD, and wire diameter. Minimum order quantity may apply for custom sizes. -
Q: What surface treatment is standard?
A: Standard is passivation per ASTM A967. We also offer electropolishing, black oxide, or other finishes upon request.
