Stainless Steel 321 Seamless Round Tubing, 1/2" OD, 0.402" ID, 0.049" Wall, 36" Length

This 321 stainless steel seamless round tubing is suitable for use in the transport of fluids and gases under pressure and in corrosive environments. The tubing is seamless for a smoother interior flow and greater burst strength than welded tubing. It is alloyed with titanium for corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability and annealed to restore formability for bending or flaring tubing. This 321 stainless steel seamless round tubing meets MIL-T-8808 and Society of American Engineers (SAE) AMS5556 and AMS5557 standards for heat and corrosion-resistance and is suitable for use in applications such as heat exchangers.Metal tubing, also called fractional tubing, is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round shape and a hollow center. Metal tubing is commonly made with various grades of austenitic stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium materials and their alloys. Construction types include seamless, welded, or welded and drawn. Seamless tubing has no seam or weld point, which enables it to better withstand high pressure and resist corrosion. Welded tubing, made by rolling and welding metal sheet stock, is weaker than and not as rounded as seamless tubing, but it has a more consistent wall thickness for tighter wall tolerances. Welded and drawn tubing, also known as "drawn over mandrel" (DOM), is typically welded tubing that is drawn through a die and over a mandrel to create a smooth inner diameter, which gives the tubing comparable corrosion resistance to seamless tubing while still offering welded tubing's tighter wall tolerances. Compression, vacuum, sanitary, and flared fittings connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Metal tubing is used in HVAC and plumbing systems and for applications in the aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, food and beverage, manufacturing, and medical industries.
