Stainless Steel 316 EFW Pipe manufacturers, Suppliers, and Exporters in India

Mcneil Instrument is a renowned manufacturer, supplier, and exporter in India specializing in Stainless Steel 316 EFW Pipes. These pipes are crafted using electric fusion welding, a method where high voltage electricity is applied to the material, heating and melting it seamlessly. The advantage lies in eliminating the need for additional welding materials. Mcneil Instrument ensures the production of EFW pipes ranging from 6 inches to 100 inches in diameter, employing various grades of stainless steel materials.

The A312 Efw Pipe is corrosion resistant to certain chemicals and agents. Therefore it is used in petrochemical industries, textile, food processing and in fertilizer industries as well. The Mill Tolerance For Efw Pipe is the maximum allowable thickness of the pipes in a manufacturing mill. The larger pipes are manufactured in larger mills. The wall thicknesses of Pipe Sch 10s Efw 304/304l SS A312 correlates to the outer diameter of the pipe. There are different schedules in the SS 316 Efw Pipe and the SS 304 Efw Pipe products which can be used for different pressure requirements. Our SS Electric Fusion Welding Steel Pipe are manufactured according to international standards and are tested for quality. These pipes are welded by rolling the plates and welding the seam and then cleaning the weld flash with scarfing blades. Please contact us for further details.

Why use X-ray welding for Stainless Steel EFW Pipes?

Mcneil Instrument, a renowned name in the manufacturing of stainless steel and other metallic pipes, employs various techniques for pipe fabrication, including hot rolling, cold drawing, electric resistance welding, and electric fusion welding (EFW). Among these methods, EFW stands out, particularly with the integration of X-ray welding technology.

X-ray welding, a relatively recent advancement in EFW, offers distinct advantages despite requiring specialized conditions and higher room standards. Despite the increased cost, X-ray welding provides precise focus on smaller spots, facilitating faster metal melting. This precision minimizes the affected zone, thereby preserving the mechanical properties of the material. Unlike conventional EFW methods, which may cause slight deformations in the pipes, X-ray welding ensures minimal to no deformation, eliminating the need for additional treatments such as adjustments to wall thickness, absolute roughness, or shape.

Given these benefits, Mcneil Instrument is increasingly adopting X-ray welding for its EFW pipes, ensuring superior quality and efficiency in their products.
