Stainless steel (S.S 304 – S.S 316L) ASME BPE

SS pipe grades used in pharmaceuticals are crucial for ensuring purity and safety in drug manufacturing. Common grades include SS 304, SS 316, and SS 316L. SS 304 is widely used for its good corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. SS 316 offers better resistance to chemical corrosion, particularly from chlorides, making it suitable for more demanding environments. SS 316L, with its lower carbon content, prevents carbide precipitation during welding, thus maintaining its corrosion resistance. These grades are selected based on the specific requirements of the pharmaceutical processes
