Manufacturing Process

Advance Steel and Tube Mills started its manufacturing unit a decade ago for STAINLESS STEEL ERW PIPES & TUBES with production ranging from 1/4" NB to 8"NB manufactured on fully automated tube mills of TIG welding without any addition of filler metal (A 312). Our products are in close contact with the manufacturer having the manufacturing facility from 10" NB to 24" NB with the addition of filler wire.(A 358).

Technical Data
S.S Fusion Welded Pipe from Plates as per ASTM A -358
Introduction & Scope

This covers electric - fusion welded authentic Chromium-nickel stainless steel pipe suitable for corrosive or high temperature service, or both. Five classes of pipe are covered under this specification.


Introduction & Scope

Class 1 : Double side welded using filler Material and 100% radiography
Class 2: Double side welded using filler Material. No radiography required
Class 3 : Single side welded using filler Material and 100% radiographed.
Class 4: As class 3, Accept root pass may be made without filler
Class 5: Double welded using filler Material and spot radiographed


Material

This specification covers nineteen grades of Material steel. The plate material comply with there requirements of ASTM A-240. Most commonly manufactured grades are 304, 304L, 304H, 316L 310


Size Range
OD : 10" NPS (273.05 mm) to 24" NPS (609.6 mm)
Thick : NB Size in Schedule 5, 10S, 10 and 40 S
