Stainless Steel 310 Seamless Pipe Price
SS 310 seamless pipe prices in India start from approximately ₹300 and go up to ₹900 per kg. These prices depend on outer diameter, wall thickness, schedule, and order quantity. International pricing falls between $4 and $12 per kg. Surface finish, certification needs (MTC, PED), and prevailing nickel/chromium LME prices also affect cost.

Chemical Composition of Stainless Steel 310 Seamless Pipes
Chemical composition of TP 310 seamless pipes per ASME SA-312 and ASTM A312 is listed below. The higher chromium and nickel content compared gives 310 stainless steel pipe its resistance to oxidation and carburisation at elevated temperatures. This 25Cr-20Ni balance separates Grade 310 from lower austenitic grades.
Mechanical Properties of Stainless Steel 310 Seamless Pipes
Minimum mechanical property values for Grade 310 seamless pipes per ASME SA-312 and ASTM A312 standards are provided below.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (min) | 515 MPa / 75 ksi |
| Yield Strength, 0.2% offset (min) | 205 MPa / 30 ksi |
| Elongation in 50.8 mm (min) | 35% |
| Hardness, Brinell (max) | 217 HB |
| Hardness, Rockwell B (max) | 95 HRB |
Stainless Steel 310 Seamless Pipe Equivalent Grades
The standard equivalent designation of SS 310 seamless pipe is UNS S31000. Other global equivalent designations are listed in the table below:
| Standard / Region | Designation |
|---|---|
| UNS | S31000 |
| Werkstoff (Germany / EU) | W.Nr 1.4841 / X15CrNiSi25-21 |

Stainless Steel 310 Seamless Pipe Industrial Applications
SS 310 seamless pipes serve 3 primary sectors where high-temperature oxidation, carburisation resistance, and structural integrity above 800°C are non-negotiable.
Furnace and Heat Treatment Equipment
Alloy 310 seamless pipe is the standard for radiant tubes, heat treatment baskets, muffles, and kiln liners. The 25Cr-20Ni composition handles scale formation and carburisation in carbon-rich furnace environments.
Chemical Processing and Petrochemical
Petrochemical plants use 310 stainless steel seamless pipes in reformer pigtails, cracker tubes, and sulphur recovery units. The alloy handles sulphidation and oxidation simultaneously in high-temperature gas streams.
Power Generation
Thermal power stations install ASTM A312 TP 310 pipes in superheater sections, flue gas ducting, and waste heat recovery systems.
Stainless Steel 310 vs SS 310S Seamless Pipes
Stainless Steel 310 and 310S seamless pipes are both high-temperature austenitic grades, but they differ in carbon content, heat resistance, and corrosion performance.
| Parameter | Stainless Steel 310 (UNS S31000) | Stainless Steel 310S (UNS S31008) |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Content | Up to 0.25% | Max 0.08% |
| Key Property | Higher creep resistance at elevated temperatures | Reduced sensitisation and improved intergranular corrosion resistance |
| High-Temperature Performance | Suitable for continuous service above 1035°C | Not as strong as 310 at extreme temperatures |
| Corrosion Resistance | Moderate in wet environments | Better in wet chemical (aqueous) environments |
| Weldability | Lower compared to 310S | Better weldability due to low carbon content |
| Typical Applications | Furnace internals, kiln liners (above 1035°C) | Chemical processing equipment (below 1035°C with aqueous contact) |
| Recommended Use Case | High-temperature structural strength applications | Corrosion-resistant applications with welding requirements |
