Stainless Steel 316 and 316L Instrumentation Tubing are primarily made of iron, with added chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%) to boost corrosion resistance. The 316L variant has a lower carbon content (<0.03%) compared to 316, which helps minimize carbide precipitation during welding. Both grades boast impressive mechanical strength, with a tensile strength of around 515 MPa and a yield strength of about 205 MPa. They perform exceptionally well in extreme temperatures and harsh environments, making them perfect for demanding instrumentation applications where precision, durability, and corrosion resistance are essential.
