Stainless Steel 316 Density

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

AISI 316 is an austenitic stainless steel with added molybdenum. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for harsh environments.

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.

Forging of SUS 316

Alloy 316 has great creep strength, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Learn about its machinability characteristics.

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.

Pressure Vessel

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.
