Stainless Steel 317L Pipe Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in India — Nishra Overseas
Nishra Overseas is a leading Stainless Steel 317L Pipe manufacturer in India, and a dependable 317L Pipe supplier and exporter in India, serving power generation, petrochemical, and condenser-equipment buyers across domestic and international markets. Whether you're sourcing Stainless Steel 317L Pipe in India for a single project or for ongoing supply, our stock depth and manufacturing capability are built to support both.
317L is a low-carbon austenitic grade that pushes the 316 family's molybdenum and chromium content further, which is exactly what gives it an edge over standard 316 in aggressive chloride environments. With chromium at 18–20% and molybdenum at 3.0–4.0% — both higher than 316L's typical ranges — 317L delivers noticeably better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly where 316 starts to fall short. Stainless Steel 317L pipe carries a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa (≈75,000 psi) and a minimum yield strength of 205 MPa (≈30,000 psi), with a density around 8000 kg/m³ and elongation of at least 35%.
As with other "L" grades, keeping carbon low (0.03% max) reduces the risk of carbide precipitation and sensitization at welds, so 317L retains its corrosion resistance even after fabrication — a meaningful advantage in field-welded piping. With a melting point near 1454°C and good formability, 317L shows up regularly in power generation equipment, condensers, and petrochemical process lines where standard 316/316L isn't quite enough for the chloride load involved. As a trusted Stainless Steel 317L Pipe manufacturer, supplier, and exporter in India, Nishra Overseas' goal is straightforward: deliver certified, high-quality 317L pipe and tube at fair, competitive pricing, backed by dependable stock availability.
