Stainless Steel 310 Pipe Price

Stainless steel 310 pipe is priced at approximately ₹700-900/kg in India for standard sizes (SCH 40, seamless). Prices on the international market range from $8 to $15 per kilogram, depending on the outer diameter, wall thickness, and finish.

SS 310 pipe costs roughly 30–50% more than SS 304 and 15–25% more than SS 316 due to higher chromium and nickel content. Final pricing depends on manufacturing type, surface finish, and quantity ordered. Contact Sachiya Steel International for a competitive quotation.

Stainless Steel 310 Pipe Industrial Applications

Industries use alloy 310 conduit: chemical processing, power generation, and heat treatment. In these industries, it is important that the material can resist oxidation at temperatures above 1000°C.

Heat Treatment & Furnace Industry

SS 310 pipe used in radiant tubes, muffle furnaces, and kiln linings for high-temperature carburising resistance.

Chemical & Petrochemical Processing

Essential for reactor piping, transfer lines, and catalyst systems due to superior oxidation resistance.

Power Generation & Boiler Systems

310 stainless steel pipe is applied in superheater tubing, boiler baffles, and exhaust ducting for high-temperature creep strength.

SS 310 vs 310S Stainless Steel Pipe Comparison

This comparison assists engineers and customers in selecting the appropriate high-temperature grade depending on welding specifications and operating temperatures. Grade 310 has better creep strength for heat that stays above 1000°C for a long time. Low-carbon 310S performs better in welded systems because it effectively prevents intergranular corrosion during the common cycles of heating and cooling.

Feature Stainless Steel 310 Stainless Steel 310S
UNS Designation UNS S31000 UNS S31008
Carbon Content (Max) 0.25% 0.08%
Creep Strength Higher in extreme heat Slightly Lower
Welding Risk Higher risk of sensitisation Reduced carbide precipitation
Max Service Temp Continuous above 1000°C Better for cyclic heating
Best Application High-strength furnace parts Welded piping & fabrications

Frequently Asked Questions:

What Sizes are Available for Stainless Steel 310 Pipe? +
SS 310 seamless pipe is available from 1/2” to 24” NPS. Welded pipe covers sizes up to 36” NPS. Standard schedules are available for SCH 5S, 10S, 40S, 80S, 160, and XXS. Standard lengths are 6 metres (single random) and 12 metres (double random).
What is the Maximum Temperature for 310 Stainless Steel Pipe? +
310 stainless steel pipe can handle continuous service temperatures up to 2100°F (1150°C). Intermittent service ratings reach 1900°F (1040°C). It's one of the highest temperature-rated austenitic stainless pipe grades available.
What is the Price of SS 310 Pipe per Kg? +
SS 310 pipe is approximately ₹700–900/kg in India for standard sizes. International rates range from $8 to $15/kg depending on size, schedule, and finish.
What is the Difference Between 310 and 310S Stainless Steel Pipe? +
The TP 310 pipe features a greater carbon content (0.25% maximum) to provide enhanced strength at high temperatures for various industrial furnace applications. By restricting carbon to a maximum of 0.08%, TP 310S offers exceptional weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion. Use 310 for extreme heat; use 310S for welded pipe in corrosive service.
Can 310 Stainless Steel Pipe be Welded? +
310 stainless steel pipe is weldable by TIG, MIG, and SMAW processes. Use matching 310 filler metal for best results. Post-weld heat treatment isn't typically required, though stress relief may be applied in critical applications.
What ASTM Specification Covers 310 Stainless Steel Pipe? +
ASTM A312 / ASME SA312 covers seamless and welded austenitic SS 310 pipe. ASTM A358 applies to electric-fusion-welded pipe, and ASTM A376 covers seamless pipe for high-temperature central-station service.
How Much does a 310 Stainless Steel Pipe Weigh? +
Weight depends on NPS size and schedule. A 2” NPS SCH 40S SS 310 pipe weighs approximately 3.24 kg/m. Refer to the ASME B36.19M weight chart for all size and schedule combinations.
Is 310 Stainless Steel Pipe Suitable for Cryogenic Applications? +
Due to its stable austenitic structure and low magnetic permeability, 310 stainless steel pipe offers excellent toughness at cryogenic temperatures down to -450°F (-268°C). Get in touch for availability and current pricing of SS 310 pipe from our inventory.
