Blundell Pipes and Tubes, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Stainless Steel 321 and 321H ERW Pipes. Renowned for their precision engineering and dependable performance, they produce electric resistance welded (ERW) pipes that excel in resisting intergranular corrosion and perform exceptionally well at high temperatures. Thanks to their advanced manufacturing techniques and rigorous quality control, Blundell Pipes and Tubes guarantees that each product adheres to international standards. These ERW pipes are perfect for demanding sectors like petrochemical, power generation, aerospace, and chemical processing, offering durable, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant solutions.
The Stainless Steel 321 and 321H ERW Pipes are made from titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel, which includes chromium, nickel, and titanium. The 321H variant, with its higher carbon content, offers enhanced high-temperature strength and creep resistance. Both grades excel in resisting intergranular corrosion, pitting, and oxidation, even in harsh environments. On the mechanical side, these pipes deliver high tensile and yield strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance, all while maintaining good weldability and machinability. Their ERW construction guarantees uniform wall thickness, dimensional stability, and reliable performance under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
