Versatile & Corrosion-Resistant: TOBO Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes | ASME

TOBO Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes are engineered to offer a superior combination of corrosion resistance, formability, and strength for a vast array of industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured in compliance with rigorous ASME standards, these pipes are the most widely used type of stainless steel, known for their excellent durability and hygiene. The austenitic microstructure, stabilized by nickel and chromium, provides non-magnetic properties and outstanding toughness, even at cryogenic temperatures. Ideal for conveying fluids in aggressive environments, they ensure long-term performance, low maintenance, and reliability in sectors ranging from food processing to architectural design.

1. Product Description
TOBO Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes are made from iron-chromium-nickel alloys, primarily from the 300 series. The most common grades offered are Type 304 (general purpose) and Type 316 (with molybdenum for enhanced chloride resistance). This family of steels is characterized by a face-centered cubic crystal structure that gives them high ductility and excellent weldability. Our product line includes both seamless and welded pipes, produced to exacting dimensional tolerances with superior internal and surface finishes suitable for sensitive applications.

2. Key Specifications

• Primary Material Standards: ASTM A312 / A312M (Seamless and Welded) for grades such as 304/304L and 316/316L.

• Size Range: Available in a wide range of Nominal Pipe Sizes (NPS), commonly from 1/8 inch to 24 inches in diameter.

• Wall Thickness: Conforms to standard schedules including SCH 5S, 10S, 40S, and 80S.

• Manufacturing & Design Standards: Produced to meet ASME B36.19M for dimensional standards.

• Temperature Suitability: Performs reliably from cryogenic temperatures up to approximately 800°C (1472°F), depending on the grade.

3. Application
These pipes are versatile and serve as the backbone for countless systems:

• Food, Beverage & Pharmaceutical: Ideal for process lines, CIP systems, and utilities where hygiene and cleanability are paramount.

• Chemical & Petrochemical: Handling a variety of corrosive chemicals, especially with Type 316 in moderate chloride environments.

• Architecture & Construction: Used for handrails, structural components, and exterior facades due to aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance.

• Water Treatment & Distribution: For potable water lines, wastewater treatment, and desalination pre-treatment systems.

• General Industrial & Automotive: For hydraulic lines, instrumentation, exhaust systems, and general fluid transport.

4. Key Advantages

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Provides strong resistance to a wide range of atmospheric, chemical, and organic corrodents, ensuring longevity.

• Hygienic & Easy to Clean: The smooth, non-porous surface prevents bacterial adhesion and allows for thorough sanitation, meeting strict industry standards.

• High Formability & Weldability: Can be readily bent, formed, and welded using standard techniques, facilitating complex installations and fabrication.

• Good Mechanical Properties: Offers a balanced profile of strength and ductility, with good impact strength at low temperatures.

• Aesthetic Appeal & Cost-Effectiveness: Provides a clean, modern appearance and offers an excellent lifecycle cost due to its durability and low maintenance needs.

5. Function
The primary function of TOBO Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipes is to provide a safe, clean, and durable conduit for transporting liquids, gases, and vapors. They are designed to maintain fluid purity, prevent contamination, and withstand operational pressures and temperatures while resisting corrosion from both the conveyed medium and the external environment. Their reliability helps ensure process integrity, protect public health, and minimize downtime across diverse applications.
