Buy & Source the Right Grade: SS 317, 317L & 317LN Pipes

Low-carbon Stainless Steel 317LN pipes prepared for chemical processing pipeline installation.

SS 317 Pipes & Tubes – Premium High-Molybdenum Chemical Grade

Standard SS 317 Pipes contain a high-molybdenum matrix with 18-20% chromium and 3-4% molybdenum, providing exceptional resistance to severe pitting and oxidation in aggressive acid media. As a dedicated Stainless Steel 317 Pipes & Tubes Stockist in India, we supply this grade for chemical processing lines, acid handling equipment, and pulp bleaching towers where standard 316 steel faces severe pitting attack.

SS 317L Pipes & Tubes – Low Carbon for Safe Welding

Sourcing from a primary Stainless Steel 317L Pipes & Tubes Supplier in India provides an ultra-low carbon alloy (0.030% max) that prevents chromium carbide precipitation during welding. This allows heavy-gauge SS 317L Tubes and pipes to operate safely in aggressive chemical environments in the as-welded condition without needing post-weld solution annealing.

SS 317LN Pipes & Tubes – High-Strength Nitrogen-Enhanced Alloy

Partnering with a specialized Stainless Steel 317LN Pipes & Tubes Stockist in India grants access to a nitrogen-alloyed (0.10-0.22%) low-carbon matrix. The addition of interstitial nitrogen acts as a solid-solution strengthener, raising the yield strength of SS 317LN Pipes to 245 MPa min—significantly higher than 317L—while retaining maximum resistance to intergranular corrosion and severe pitting attack.

Frequently Asked Questions

SS 317 contains up to 0.08% carbon, whereas SS 317L limits carbon to 0.030% max. This prevents carbide precipitation during welding, making 317L ideal for heavy welded structures.

"L" stands for Low Carbon (0.030% max) to safeguard against intergranular corrosion during welding. "N" indicates Nitrogen (0.10–0.22%), an alloying addition that increases yield and tensile strength without sacrificing ductility or impact toughness.

SS 317 and 317L feature higher molybdenum (3.0–4.0%) and chromium (18.0–20.0%) levels than 316/316L, providing a much higher Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) to withstand strong organic acids and severe chloride pitting.

No, they are fully austenitic and non-magnetic in the annealed state. Light cold working or tube drawing may introduce slight magnetism.

Choose SS 317LN when your system requires higher mechanical yield strength (245 MPa min) along with maximum pitting resistance.
