316 Stainless Steel Reducing Couplings 1 inch x 1/2 inch (316 Stainless Steel Reducing Coupling 1X1/2)

316 Stainless Steel threaded reducing couplings are 150#.

Similar to 304, Grade 316 stainless steel has high amounts of chromium and nickel. This grade also contains silicon, manganese, and carbon, with the majority of the composition being iron. The major difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel is the chemical composition. 316 contains a significant amount of molybdenum; The higher molybdenum content results in this grade possessing increased corrosion resistance.

316 stainless steel is one of the most suitable choices when selecting an austenitic stainless steel for marine applications. Other common applications of 316 stainless steel include:

• Chemical processing and storage equipment.
• Refinery equipment
• Medical devices
• Marine environments, especially those with chlorides present
