A358 GR 348H

Available in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 60 inches nominal bore (NB), A358 GR 348H pipes are manufactured with wall thicknesses that comply with various schedules such as SCH 10, SCH 40, SCH 80, and SCH XXS. These pipes offer exceptional mechanical strength with a tensile strength of 515 MPa and a minimum yield strength of 205 MPa. The high carbon content in A358 GR 348H enhances its creep resistance, making it suitable for elevated temperature applications.

The chemical composition includes 17-19% chromium, 9-13% nickel, and niobium/tantalum stabilization, ensuring excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal fatigue. These pipes are available in multiple forms such as round, square, and rectangular, with finishing options like plain, beveled, and threaded ends. Surface treatments like polished, pickled, and passivated ensure durability and superior corrosion resistance, even in aggressive environments.

Dimensional tolerances for A358 GR 348H pipes are meticulously maintained, with an outside diameter variation of ±1% and wall thickness tolerances of +12.5%/-10%. The manufacturing process employs advanced electric fusion welding (EFW) techniques and includes critical heat treatments like annealing at 1050-1120°C. Comprehensive testing, including ultrasonic, hydrostatic, and radiographic inspections, ensures these pipes meet the highest industry standards.
