ASTM A312 TP 304 Pipes & Tubes are high-quality austenitic stainless steel pipes widely used across industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and high-temperature strength. TP 304 grade, also known as 304 stainless steel, contains 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel, providing outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion in a variety of environments, including chemical processing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine applications.
These pipes and tubes are manufactured according to ASTM A312 standards, ensuring compliance with international specifications for seamless (SMLS) and welded (ERW, LSAW, SSAW) forms. They are available in a wide range of diameters, wall thicknesses, and lengths, making them suitable for pipelines, heat exchangers, condensers, and structural applications..
The mechanical properties of ASTM A312 TP 304 Pipes & Tubes make them strong, ductile, and easy to fabricate, which allows for bending, welding, and forming without cracking. Typical properties include a minimum yield strength of 215 MPa, tensile strength of 505–700 MPa, and elongation of ≥40%. These properties, combined with excellent impact resistance, make TP 304 ideal for industrial, petrochemical, and construction applications..
