Bosega Pipes and Tubes is a top-notch manufacturer and supplier located in Cape Town, South Africa, specializing in high-quality Stainless Steel 316/316L Heat Exchanger Tubing. These tubes are celebrated for their durability, resistance to corrosion, and outstanding performance, making them perfect for the rigorous demands of today’s industrial applications. Bosega employs cutting-edge technology and rigorous quality control measures to create tubing that guarantees efficient heat transfer, robust mechanical strength, and a long lifespan. Their 316/316L tubing solutions are relied upon by various industries, including chemical processing, marine engineering, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, where reliability and precision are absolutely essential.
Stainless Steel 316/316L Heat Exchanger Tubing is an austenitic stainless steel alloy primarily made up of iron, with 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, which boosts its resistance to corrosion and pitting in chloride-rich environments. The 316L version features a lower carbon content, enhancing its weldability and reducing the risk of carbide precipitation. This tubing boasts a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of roughly 205 MPa, and an elongation of 40%. It retains excellent toughness, strength, and corrosion resistance, even under high temperatures and aggressive chemical conditions.
