Stainless Steel 316 / 316L Buttweld Fittings are mainly made up of chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%) content, which increases corrosion resistance especially against chlorides and acidic media. 316L has a lower carbon content (max 0.03%) than 316 (max 0.08%), lowering the possibility of carbide precipitation upon welding and enhancing weldability. These fittings offer superior mechanical strength with a tensile strength of around 515 MPa and yield strength of 205 MPa, as well as superior ductility and toughness in cryogenic and high-temperature conditions.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.

Stainless Steel 316 / 316L Buttweld Fittings from Meet Fittings offer exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in seawater and harsh environments. They are known for their high strength, durability, and resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. We provide precise manufacturing, quality control, and reliable service for diverse industrial applications.
Stainless steel 316/316L Buttweld Fittings provide excellent corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments such as the marine and chemical industry, and the presence of molybdenum provides superior strength, durability and superior heat resistance against, making it ideal for important projects. The lower carbon content of 316L reduces the risk of sensitivity and intergranular corrosion, and enhances weldability. These materials are highly resistant to pitting and cravis corrosion, providing long service life. In addition, it is inert, easy to maintain, and provides flexible and leak-proof connections to plumbing systems.
