310 / 310S STAINLESS STEEL PIPE PROPERTIES    High Temperature: Austenitic stainless steel with excellent high temperature oxidation resistance Good for continuous exposure to 2100 degree F Intermittent service to 1900 degree F. Corrosion Resistance:

• Good aqueous corrosion resistance due to high chromium content
• Good resistance to oxidizing and carburizing atmospheres
• Excellent resistance to corrosion at normal temperatures

Heat Resistance:

• Good resistance to oxidation in intermittent service up to 1040°C temperatures, and in continuous service up to 1150°C.
• Good resistance to thermal fatigue and cyclic heating.
• Widely used in areas with elevated temperatures, and sulphur-dioxide gas.
• Continuous use in 425-860°C temperature range can deteriorate aqueous corrosion resistance due to carbide precipitation.
• Generally used in applications with temperatures starting from about 800 or 900°C.
