Description
ASTM A403 WP317L Pipe Fittings
ASTM A403 WP317L pipe fittings, also known as connectors, are integral components in plumbing systems, allowing one pipe to be attached to another to extend the piping or change its flow direction. These fittings are designed to combine, divert, or reduce the flow of various fluids. 317L fittings contain molybdenum, which improves their corrosion resistance and makes them ideal for applications involving chemical exposure.
Material Composition and Features
317L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel with additional nickel, chromium, and molybdenum content. This combination provides superior resistance to chemical attacks from acids such as formic, sulfurous, acetic, citric, and tartaric acids. These characteristics make Stainless Steel 317L Pipe Fittings suitable for industries such as chemical and petrochemical processing, power generation, food processing, pulp and paper handling, and textile equipment.
Types of ASTM A403 WP317L Fittings
- 317L Elbow
The 317L elbow is used to change the direction of material flow within a piping system. Its design adds some pressure loss due to friction, re-acceleration, and impact. These elbows are critical in various piping systems and come in different angles such as 45° and 90°, with varying radii depending on system requirements. - A403 WP317L Tee
The tee fitting is designed to either collect or distribute fluids within a piping system. It comes in two main types: equal and unequal tees, allowing flexibility in connecting pipes of different sizes or directions. - Stainless Steel 317L Reducer
A reducer decreases the pipe size from a larger diameter to a smaller one, ensuring a seamless flow between varying pipe sizes. It can also function as a diffuser or nozzle in fluid dynamics.
