SS 321 Welded Pipe: Why 321 for welded pipes
Welded (ERW / EFW) pipe is economical in larger diameters and thinner walls, and accepted by most codes with the right testing. In SS 321, 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 321 is picked for high-temperature service between 425 and 815 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Aircraft exhaust — Manifolds, bellows and exhaust systems. |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER347 (AWS A5.9) |
