General purpose stainless steel with good corrosion resistance for most applications. Used for: Bar rails, Boat railings, Canopy supports, Chemical processing equipment, Chemical tubing, Column covers, Duct works, Feed-water tubes, Food preparation equipment, Food processing equipment, Heat exchanger tubes, Hypodermic needles, Ladders, Mechanical & structural components, Pharmaceutical processing equipment, Piping systems, Railings (architectural), Traffic barriers, Water pipes.
TP 304H
Higher carbon content than 304L, for increased strength, particularly at elevated temperatures.
TP 304L
Chemical plant and food processing equipment, where freedom from sensitisation is required in plate thicknesses
TP 316 / 316L
Used where higher corrosion resistance is required. Boat railings, Canopy supports, Chemical tubing, Column covers, Duct works, Feed-water tubes, Food preparation equipment, Food processing equipment, Heat exchanger tubes, Hypodermic needles, Ladders, Mechanical & structural components, Pharmaceutical processing equipment, Piping systems, Railings, Street (urban) furniture, Textile tubing, Traffic barriers, Water pipes.
TP 316H
Similar oxidation resistance to TP 316. Main areas of application: Heat exchangers, furnaces, chemical and petrochemical plant.
TP 321
Heat exchanger tubing, Chemical processing tubing, Pressure tank tubing. Suitable for heat resisting applications to 800?C.
TP 321H
This is the high carbon version of TP 321 which ensures greater creep resistance. Behaves much the same as TP 321 in oxidation resistance. Main applications: Heat exchangers, furnaces, boilers in chemical and petrochemical plant.
TP 316Ti
A titanium stabilised version of 316 used where good resistance to intergranular corrosion and high temperature strength is required.
TP 317
Chemical processing tubing, Dyeing equipment, Ink manufacturing equipment, Pulp & paper manufacturing equipment
2. Super-Austenitic Steels
TP 904L
High resistance to general corrosion in e.g. sulphuric and acetic acids, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, pitting in chloride bearing solutions.
3. Ferritic and Martensitic steels
TP 405
Used for applications where hardening upon cooling from high temperatures must be avoided. Has excellent long-time stability up to 1200°F.
TP 410
General purpose grade for use in mildly corrosive environments
