Rithav Pipes and Tubes, based in Delhi, India, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Electropolished Pipes, specifically designed for ultra-clean and corrosion-sensitive applications. These pipes go through a meticulous electropolishing process, giving them a sleek, mirror-like finish that minimizes contamination and boosts corrosion resistance. Adhering to ASTM A269 and A270 standards, Rithav guarantees precise dimensions, excellent weldability, and impressive durability. These pipes are perfect for industries that demand hygienic conditions, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, biotech, chemical processing, and semiconductor manufacturing, where reliability, purity, and performance are absolutely essential.
Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Electropolished Pipes are made up of 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and pitting corrosion. The 316L variant has a lower carbon content (<0.03%), which helps minimize the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding. These pipes boast a tensile strength of 515–690 MPa, a yield strength of ≥205 MPa, and an elongation of ≥35%, with a Brinell hardness of about 217 HB. Electropolishing enhances the inner surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.4 µm), which is crucial for ultra-pure fluid transfer and clean-in-place (CIP) systems in sterile settings.
