Industrial Applications of Stainless Steel 304 Large Diameter Pipes

SS 304 large diameter pipes are used in 4 major sectors: oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and food production.

Oil & Gas Pipeline

SS 304 large diameter pipes are used in oil and gas operations for transfer lines and header pipes.

Chemical & Petrochemical Processing

Chemical plants use AISI 304 large bore pipes for reactor feed lines and heat exchanger connections handling mildly corrosive media.

Water & Waste Treatment

Heat exchangers, reactors and process piping in nitric acid and organic acid production rely on 347H for corrosion performance under thermal cycling. Niobium stabilisation prevents weld decay in heat-affected zones.

Food & Beverage Processing

Food and beverage processing lines require sanitary-grade piping.
