Manufactured according to ASTM A312, these stainless steel pipes provide excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion, oxidation, and creep deformation, making them suitable for long-term service under elevated temperatures.

TP347 and TP347H stainless steel pipes are widely used in:

  • Oil refineries

  • Petrochemical plants

  • Power generation facilities

  • Heat exchangers and boilers

  • High-temperature process piping systems

We are a professional exporter and supplier of ASTM A312 TP347H seamless stainless steel pipe, SA312 TP347H pipe, and ASTM A312 TP347 stainless steel pipe.


What Is ASTM A312

ASTM A312 is the standard specification covering seamless, welded, and heavily cold-worked austenitic stainless steel pipes intended for high-temperature and general corrosive service.

This standard specifies requirements for:

  • Chemical composition

  • Mechanical properties

  • Heat treatment

  • Dimensional tolerances

  • Testing and inspection procedures


Material Grades: TP347 and TP347H Stainless Steel

ASTM A312 TP347

TP347 is a niobium-stabilized (Nb) austenitic stainless steel that prevents chromium carbide precipitation during welding or exposure to high temperatures. This stabilization significantly improves resistance to intergranular corrosion.

Main characteristics:

  • Excellent corrosion resistance

  • Good weldability

  • High oxidation resistance

  • Suitable for elevated temperature service


ASTM A312 TP347H

TP347H is the high-carbon version of TP347 stainless steel, designed to enhance creep strength and high-temperature performance.

TP347H stainless steel pipes are commonly used in:

  • Boilers

  • Heat exchangers

  • Petrochemical processing equipment

  • Automotive and aircraft exhaust systems

  • High-temperature chemical processing plants

By adding niobium (Nb) as a stabilizing element, TP347H improves structural stability and resistance to carbide precipitation during high-temperature operation.

This material performs best in sustained operating temperatures between:

800°F – 1500°F (427°C – 816°C)

TP347H is also an excellent choice for heavy welded components that cannot be re-annealed after welding.
