The density of Stainless Steel 316 is a critical property that indicates the mass per unit volume of the material. In metric units, it measures 8 g/cm³, meaning one cubic centimeter of SS 316 weighs 8 grams. In English units, the density is 0.290 lb/in³, which means one cubic inch of the material weighs 0.290 pounds. These values are essential for calculating the weight of stainless steel components, especially in engineering and manufacturing contexts where accurate measurements are vital for design and cost estimation. Stainless Steel 316 Density The addition of molybdenum enhances its resistance to general corrosion and pitting, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. This makes it a popular choice in industries such as marine, chemical processing, and medical equipment. AISI 316 Chemical Composition Stainless Steel 316 Mechanical Properties WNR 1.4401 Material Equivalent 316 SS Linear Coefficient of Thermal Expansion WNR 1.4401 is known for its strong resistance to rust and corrosion, thanks to its molybdenum content. It is often used in chemical processing, marine environments, and food processing due to its ability to withstand pitting and crevice corrosion. This makes it a top choice for hygienic and long-term exposure applications. Thermal Conductivity of SS 1.4401 INOX 316 Specific Heat Alloy 316 Magnetic Permeability Due to its molybdenum content, this alloy provides superior resistance to rust, chemicals, and extreme heat. It is commonly used in marine, chemical processing, and medical applications. The electrical resistivity of SS 316 is 7.2×10â»âµ ohm-cm, indicating it has higher resistance compared to copper or aluminum. Electrical Resistivity of SS 316 Forging of SUS 316 It has excellent creep strength, meaning it can withstand high temperatures and continuous pressure without deforming. This makes it ideal for industrial equipment and offshore applications. However, its machinability is rated at 60%, which is lower than free-machining alloys, requiring specialized tools and slower cutting speeds. Machinability of X5CrNiMo17-12-2 Machinability of SS 316 Material is 60% Weldability of UNS S31600 316 Stainless Steel Heat Treatment ASTM Standards of EN 1.4401 Grade Environmental Properties of BS 316S31 Material Resistance Factors: 1=Poor, 5=Excellent Why You Should Know the Density of AISI 316 Grade It is found that the formability of UNS S31600 increases up to 300°C, but decreases beyond that temperature. Therefore, 300°C is considered the optimal temperature for deep-drawing processes. Operating Temperature of WNR 1.4401 Is the 316 SS Material Magnetic? Is the SS 1.4401 Material Polishable?

A pressure vessel is a vessel that can withstand high pressures and is commonly used for storing, transporting, and processing various gases, liquids, and gaseous liquid mixtures. The pressure vessel is mainly composed of vessel body, flange, seal, support and accessories. Common pressure vessels are gas cylinder, gas storage tank, distillation tower, reactor and so on.
The design and manufacture of pressure vessels must comply with relevant national standards and specifications, and pass strict inspection and testing to ensure their safety and reliability. During use, you must comply with the operation regulations and safety precautions, and periodically check and maintain the device to ensure its normal operation and safe use.
The main business scope is various heaters, waste heat boilers, pressure vessels, supportingair preheaters, air coolers, furnace accessories and accessories, and provide equipment installation, with EPC ability of projects. At present, our customers have covered all large and medium-sized petrochemical enterprises in China and established long-term strategic cooperative partnership with them. Products are exported to Southeast Asia, Middle East, and other regions.
