Stainless Steel 316 Micro Tubes are precisely manufactured for use where high corrosion resistance and dimensional precision and reliability are required. The micro tubes are manufactured from SS 316 and SS 316L grade (2-3% molybdenum) and have increased resistance to chlorides and crevice and pitting corrosion over SS 304. 316L grade is a low carbon variety that is recommended for welded assemblies and systems with high purity requirements. These tubes can be seamless or welded, with ultra-thin walls and tight tolerances, and are commonly used in precision applications across various industries. USA piping solution is a reliable Micro Tubes Manufacturer and Supplier in the USA offering high quality Micro Tubes as per international standards with consistent performance and reliable service as per the customer requirements.
