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.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between SS 310S and SS 310 Seamless Pipes? +
SS 310S has lower carbon (≤0.08%) than SS 310 (≤0.25%), so it welds better and resists intergranular corrosion while keeping a similar 25Cr-20Ni composition and high-temperature rating.
Is ASTM A312 / ASME SA-312 a Seamless Pipe specification? +
ASTM A312 covers both seamless and welded stainless steel pipes. For seamless pipes specifically in high‑temperature service, ASTM A376 / ASME SA‑376 also applies to TP 310S.
What is the difference between SS 304 and SS 310S Seamless Pipes? +
310S has higher chromium and nickel (about 25Cr‑20Ni) than 304, giving much better oxidation resistance above 800°F (427°C). Use 310S for sustained service above 800°F.
What sizes are available for SS 310S seamless pipes? +
Available from 1/2″ to 24″ NPS (6–610 mm OD), wall thickness 0.6-20 mm, schedules SCH 5S to SCH 160, in single random, double random, or custom-cut lengths.
What is the maximum service temperature for SS 310S Seamless Pipes? +
310S seamless pipes can be used continuously up to 2000°F (1050°C) and intermittently up to 2100°F (1150°C), offering strong oxidation resistance under mildly cyclic conditions.
How to calculate the weight of SS 310S Seamless Pipe? +
Use the formula: Weight (kg/m) = (OD – WT) × WT × 0.02466 × density factor. For 310S (density 7.98 g/cm³), multiply the equivalent carbon steel pipe weight by 1.0155.
