SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H
SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H Supplier, ASTM A403 WP347H Stainless Steel Fittings, Reliable Pipes & Tubes.
Reliable Pipes & Tubes – Leading SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H Supplier
Reliable Pipes & Tubes is a leading supplier, stockholder, and exporter of high-grade SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H. SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H refers to ASTM A403 standard covering wrought columbium/niobium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel piping fittings for pressure service in the WP347H grade. The addition of columbium and tantalum (minimum 8 times the carbon content for 347H) in SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H stabilizes the material against chromium carbide precipitation, securing superior resistance to intergranular corrosion when exposed to temperatures in the carbide precipitation range of 800°F to 1500°F.
The SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H are designed for forged steel pipe fittings and can be used in many critical engineering fields including chemical processing, food and beverage, marine, power generation, pressure vessels, boilers, and other elevated temperature environments. Material under ASTM A403 is named as WP Grade, and for each WP grade stainless steel, several categories of pipe fittings are included to indicate that a seamless or welded structure is used.
We offer a comprehensive range of SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H from 1/2" NB to 48" NB in various schedules to meet custom applications. Every SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H supplied by Reliable Pipes & Tubes undergoes rigorous testing including tensile testing, chemical analysis, and visual inspection to ensure optimal quality and structural integrity.

What is SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H?
SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H refers to ASTM A403 standard for wrought austenitic stainless steel piping fittings, specifically the WP347H niobium-stabilized variant with controlled higher carbon content for enhanced high-temperature creep strength. The SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H are specifically designed for forged steel pipe fittings; cast pipe fittings are not suitable under this standard. The key advantage of SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H is its stabilization with niobium (columbium) and tantalum, which prevents sensitization during welding and ensures excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion in high-temperature settings. All SS Pipe Fittings A403 347H should be supplied in heat treated condition and all welding work should be done before heat treatment.
