Stainless Steel 310S Seamless Pipe Weight Chart
Pipe weight per metre is calculated using: Weight (kg/m) = (OD – WT) × WT × 0.02466 × density factor. For SS 310S (density 7.98 g/cm³), multiply the carbon steel weight by 1.0155.
| NPS | OD (mm) | SCH 10S (kg/m) | SCH 40S (kg/m) | SCH 80S (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 inch | 21.3 | 0.80 | 1.27 | 1.62 |
| 1 inch | 33.4 | 2.09 | 2.50 | 3.24 |
| 2 inch | 60.3 | 3.93 | 5.44 | 7.48 |
| 4 inch | 114.3 | 8.37 | 16.07 | 22.32 |
| 8 inch | 219.1 | 19.96 | 42.55 | 64.64 |
Stainless Steel 310S Seamless Pipe Price List
SS 310S seamless pipes typically cost ₹520–₹800 per kg in India, and internationally cost $1.5 to $9 per kg. The exact price depends on the pipe’s outer diameter, wall thickness, order quantity, and whether it meets A312 or A376 specifications. Sizes above 4″ NPS and below 1-1/2″ are slightly more expensive. Because raw material prices change every week.

Stainless Steel 310S Seamless Pipe Industrial Applications
SS 310S seamless pipes are used where temperatures reach 1050°C (1925°F) and strong resistance to oxidation, carburisation, and sulphidation is essential. Three primary categories cover the majority of demand:
Furnace and Kiln Applications
Alloy 310S seamless pipe performs reliably inside industrial furnaces, roller hearth kilns, and annealing lines. Radiant tubes, muffles, and retorts in heat treatment plants also rely on this grade.
Heat Exchanger Applications
Heat exchanger tube bundles operating above 800°F (427°C) benefit from 310S’s creep resistance and thermal stability. Waste heat recovery boilers, superheater sections, and flue gas exchangers are common installations.
Petrochemical and Refinery Applications
Petrochemical crackers, reformer pigtails, and catalyst regeneration lines use TP 310S seamless pipes to resist carbon diffusion. Refinery flare tips and thermal oxidiser ducting also use this grade.
Stainless Steel 310S vs 310 Seamless Pipes Key Differences
The table below compares Stainless Steel 310 and 310S seamless pipes, showing how they differ in carbon content, weldability, strength, and typical high-temperature uses.
| Feature | Stainless Steel 310 | Stainless Steel 310S |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Content | High (C <= 0.25%) | Low (C <= 0.08%) |
| Primary Advantage | Higher creep strength at extreme temperatures | Superior weldability and corrosion resistance |
| Service Temperature | Up to 1150 C (2100 F) | Up to 1150 C (2100 F) |
| Weldability | Difficult; prone to carbide precipitation | Excellent; resists intergranular corrosion |
| Common Applications | Kilns, furnace components, saggers | Heat exchangers, boiler tubes, flare tips |
