SS 904L Rectangular Tube: Why 904L for rectangular tubes
Rectangular tube is used for frames, supports and architectural work. In SS 904L, 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 tubulars are the default for corrosive and hygienic service. SS 904L is picked for dilute sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and chloride-bearing cooling water. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Sulphuric acid plants — Coolers, piping and tanks for dilute sulphuric acid. |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER385 (AWS A5.9) |
