316L stainless steel heat exchanger
Basic Information
Generally, Heat Exchangers Tubes are a device which is used to transfer heat between the fluids. These exchangers are widely used in many industries. The material used in the fabrication of these tubes is stainless steel commonly. The 316L is popularly used in the manufacturing of exchanger’s tubes. It is known to be the lower carbon version of 316 grades which has its specialty in resisting to carbide precipitation.
Due to its good mechanical properties, it is commonly used in the manufacturing of heat exchanger tubes. The austenitic structure of this grade enhances its hardness and toughness even at the cryogenic temperatures. Furthermore, the grade offers good creep properties, higher stress to rupture and excellent tensile strength at high temperature.
