Nestled in the industrial heart of Manila, Corazon Pipes and Tubes has built a solid reputation as a trusted supplier and manufacturer of high-quality steel products. Our commitment to precision and durability is perfectly embodied in our Stainless Steel 316316L Instrumentation Tubing. Crafted to meet rigorous international standards, this tubing is the go-to choice for industries where reliability under demanding conditions is non-negotiable. We take pride in providing robust solutions that form the critical arteries for essential processes.
What truly sets this tubing apart is its superior composition. It is primarily a chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy with low carbon content, which provides excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive elements. This includes protection against chemicals and pitting, especially in chloride environments. Mechanically, it offers impressive tensile strength and durability, allowing it to withstand high pressures and temperatures without compromising its structural integrity.

We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
When it comes to composition, Stainless Steel 316 and 316L tubing are made up of iron, chromium (16-18%), nickel (10-14%), molybdenum (2-3%), along with trace amounts of elements like manganese and silicon. The extra molybdenum in both grades offers exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in environments rich in chlorides. The main distinction between 316 and 316L lies in their carbon content, with 316L having a lower maximum carbon percentage of 0.03%, making it a better fit for welding applications. Both grades boast impressive mechanical properties, including high tensile strength (up to 620 MPa for 316 and 480 MPa for 316L) and good elongation, which allows them to be flexible and durable under various conditions.
