Various material grades and type test specifications for elbows in stainless steel pipe fittings

Jul. 14, 2025

The various materials of elbows in stainless steel pipe fittings are 304, 316L, 2205, etc., which are more common. 304 316L stainless steel is a common corrosion-resistant steel, belonging to chromium-nickel stainless steel. It has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties and is one of the widely used stainless steel materials. 2205 duplex stainless steel is a stainless steel with two phase structures of austenite and ferrite. It has high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and good welding performance, meeting the occasions of high strength and corrosion resistance, so 2205 stainless steel elbows are often used in the fields of oil and gas, chemical industry, etc.

The type tests they require under strict conditions are as follows

304 stainless steel pipe fittings type test

Appearance inspection: Check whether there are defects such as cracks, bubbles, oxidation, etc. on the surface of the pipe fittings.

Dimension inspection: Use measuring tools to check whether the outer diameter, wall thickness and other dimensions of the pipe fittings meet the design requirements.

Mechanical property test: Conduct tensile tests and hardness tests to evaluate the mechanical properties of the pipe fittings such as tensile strength, yield strength and elongation.

Corrosion resistance test: Test the corrosion resistance of pipe fittings in a specific environment through salt spray test and other methods.

316L stainless steel pipe fitting type test

Appearance inspection: Same as 304 stainless steel pipe fittings, check whether there are defects such as cracks and bubbles on the surface of the pipe fittings.

Dimension inspection: Use measuring tools to check whether the size of the pipe fittings meets the design requirements.

Mechanical property test: Perform tensile test and impact test to evaluate the mechanical properties of the pipe fittings.

Corrosion resistance test: Place the pipe fittings in the corrosive medium to observe its corrosion resistance and corrosion degree.

2205 duplex stainless steel pipe fitting type test

Appearance inspection: Check the surface quality of the pipe fittings to ensure that there are no defects such as cracks and slag inclusions.

Dimension inspection: Measure the size of the pipe fittings to ensure that it meets the design requirements.

Mechanical property test: Perform tensile test, impact test and hardness test to evaluate the mechanical properties of the pipe fittings.

Corrosion resistance test: According to the specific application scenario, pitting potential measurement, crevice corrosion test, etc. are carried out to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the pipe fittings in a specific environment.

In summary, the three stainless steel pipe fittings materials, 304, 316L and 2205, have different grades and characteristics and are suitable for different application scenarios. When conducting type tests, they need to be inspected and tested according to specific application scenarios and standard requirements.
