Description
Schedule 10 316L Stainless Steel Welded Pipe - 20' Lengths
Schedule 10 316L Stainless Steel Welded Pipe provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant piping option for welded industrial, mechanical, and process piping systems. Supplied in 20-foot lengths, this pipe is manufactured to ASTM A312 / ASME SA312 requirements and is designed for fabrication with compatible welded fittings and additional lengths of pipe.
Schedule 10 has a thinner wall than heavier pipe schedules, helping reduce overall pipe weight while maintaining the corrosion resistance and fabrication characteristics associated with 316L stainless steel. This product uses welded pipe construction, so a longitudinal weld seam is present as part of the finished pipe.

Schedule 10 Construction
Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe uses a relatively thin wall compared with heavier schedules such as Schedule 40 or Schedule 80. This lowers the overall pipe weight and can simplify handling and installation where Schedule 10 is appropriate for the system design.
Actual wall thickness varies by nominal pipe size. Verify the required pipe diameter and Schedule 10 wall thickness before ordering, fabrication, or installation.

316L Stainless Steel
316L stainless steel is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel grade commonly selected for piping applications requiring strong general corrosion resistance.
The low-carbon composition is well suited to welded fabrication, making 316L a common choice for compatible process, industrial, and mechanical piping systems.
Welded Pipe Construction
This product uses welded pipe construction. The pipe is formed and longitudinally welded during manufacturing, creating a weld seam as part of the finished pipe.
Field connections can be welded to compatible fittings and additional pipe lengths using an appropriate welding procedure for 316L stainless steel and the applicable piping system requirements.
Why Choose Schedule 10 316L Stainless Pipe?
Lightweight Construction
- Thinner wall than heavier schedules
- Lower weight per foot
- Easier material handling in many installations
- Can reduce structural load compared with heavier schedules
- Useful where Schedule 10 meets system requirements
316L Material
- Good general corrosion resistance
- Low-carbon stainless grade
- Commonly selected for welded fabrication
- Suitable for many compatible industrial services
- Useful where 316L is specified by the system design
Schedule 10 vs. Schedule 40
Schedule 10
- Thinner wall construction
- Lower pipe weight
- Often easier to handle and fabricate
- Used where system design permits thinner-wall pipe
- This product configuration
Schedule 40
- Thicker wall construction
- Greater weight per foot
- Different mechanical characteristics
- May be specified for more demanding service conditions
- Wall thickness varies by nominal pipe size
