Seamless 316 stainless steel tubing is normally used in natural gas/petroleum/oil, aerospace, food and beverage, industrial, cryogenic, architectural, and marine applications. Seamless 316 stainless steel tubing has high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, including in marine or extremely corrosive environments. It is stronger, though less malleable and machinable than 304.316 maintains its properties in cryogenic or high temperatures. 316 stainless steel seamless round tubing stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.
