AISI 310S · UNS S31008
An SS 310 / 310S bend is a pipe bend with a larger radius than a standard elbow, made from SS 310 / 310S to ASTM A403 WP310S. Bends of 3D, 5D and larger radius give smoother flow than elbows and suit slurry, pigging and pipeline service. They are induction- or cold-bent from pipe.

SS 310 / 310S Bend: Why 310S for bends
Bends of 3D, 5D and larger radius give smoother flow than elbows and suit slurry, pigging and pipeline service. They are induction- or cold-bent from pipe. In SS 310 / 310S, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Stainless fittings keep the line clean and corrosion-free. SS 310 / 310S is picked for furnaces, burners and heat treatment at high temperature. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Furnace parts — Muffles, retorts, radiant tubes and conveyor belts. |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER310 (AWS A5.9) |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiSS 310 / 310S Bend — questions buyers ask
Bend or elbow — what is the difference?
An elbow has a fixed 1D or 1.5D radius to ASME B16.9; a bend is bent from pipe to a larger radius, typically 3D or 5D.
Can SS 310 / 310S bends be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers SS 310 / 310S bends?
The material is ASTM A403 WP310S; dimensions follow ASME B16.49 · project specs. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a SS 310 / 310S bend?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
