Stainless Steel 446 Instrumentation Fittings

Stainless Steel 446 Instrumentation Fittings are composed primarily of chromium, iron and trace amounts of other elements such as molybdenum, copper, and nitrogen. This highly versatile alloy's chromium content is essential for corrosion resistance and heat resistance—both requiring a minimum content level of 18%, providing superior strength and pipe weldability than other steels. Trace levels of molybdenum have been added to improve further the corrosion resistance qualities found in 446 fittings, while the addition of copper helps to optimize their thermal conductivity. Nitrogen gives it an increased tensile strength without sacrificing any ductility or formability that so many end-users desire when fabricating products. As a result of this unique chemical composition, these fittings are ideally suited for some severe environments, such as acidic food processing systems and marine environments.

446 Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings are designed to be used in environments that require superior corrosion resistance. The material protects against acids, mineral salts, sulfur compounds, and alkalis. These fittings are also strong enough to withstand pressure while being lightweight and easy to install. Furthermore, they boast excellent thermal properties that allow them to use in high-temperature services with little to no distress. Stainless Steel 446 Instrumentation Fittings can make a perfect choice for applications requiring long-term structural integrity and maximum corrosion protection. Whether you need them for general-purpose projects or specialized application requirements such as food processing machinery, these fittings should provide years of reliable performance for any job!
