| Why is SS 316 better than SS 304 for nipple fittings? |
SS 316 contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich and marine environments where SS 304 would corrode. |
| Are you an SS 316 Nipple Fittings Supplier in Mumbai? |
Yes, we are a leading supplier in Mumbai, holding a large inventory of various nipple types to ensure quick delivery to projects across Maharashtra and India. |
| What is the difference between a Hex Nipple and a Barrel Nipple? |
A Hex Nipple has a hexagonal middle section for tightening with a wrench, while a Barrel Nipple is made from pipe and is typically tightened using a pipe wrench on the body. |
| Can these nipples be used for high pressure? |
Yes, when manufactured from Schedule 80 pipe or heavy wall tubing, SS 316 nipples can withstand high pressures common in industrial applications. |
| Do you supply NPT or BSP threads? |
We supply both NPT (National Pipe Thread) for American standards and BSP (British Standard Pipe) for European/Asian standards. |
| Do you provide Mill Test Certificates? |
Yes, we provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) as per EN 10204 3.1 with every order to verify the material chemistry and compliance. |
| What is a "Close Nipple"? |
A Close Nipple is a very short nipple that is threaded along its entire length, allowing two female fittings to be joined so they practically touch. |
| Do you make custom length nipples? |
Yes, as a manufacturer, we can cut and thread SS 316 nipples to specific custom lengths required for your unique piping assembly. |
