Frequently asked questions
Can 310S pipe and tube be supplied seamless or welded?
Both routes can be reviewed. The choice starts with the ordered tubular standard, OD, wall, length, condition, dimensional tolerance, ends and required NDT rather than the grade name alone.
What seamless size envelope is published for the China route?
The published network envelope covers OD Φ6–Φ914 mm and 0.5–88 mm wall. Exact 310S combinations depend on the tubular standard, mill route, quantity and inspection scope.
Can the largest welded OD and wall be ordered together?
The published maxima describe different points in the manufacturing envelope and should not be combined automatically. Send the exact OD-to-wall combination, length and NDT scope for route confirmation.
Which NDT details belong in a 310S pipe RFQ?
Name the required method, coverage, acceptance criteria, reporting, witness points and governing standard. Hydrostatic, pneumatic, eddy-current, UT, RT or PT routes depend on product form and project specification.
Can 310S tube be cut and end-prepared?
Yes. State finished length, end type, bevel geometry or drawing, burr requirements, cleanliness and dimensional inspection points. Additional bending or fabrication should be supplied with the drawing.
