Dimensions and weight

Selected ASME B36.19 dimensions. Schedule columns give nominal wall thickness. Theoretical inside diameter and mass use nominal dimensions, with a reference density of 8,000 kg/m³. Actual mass varies by grade and tolerances.

For tubing, order by actual outside diameter and wall. Drawing example: 25.4 × 2 mm straight tube or NPS 2 Sch 40S pipe.

Service and pressure basis

Use the approved design code and service conditions. The applicable rating depends on material, temperature, minimum effective wall, joint details and the limits of the connected assembly. A schedule or a hydrostatic test result alone cannot establish an operating pressure.

Application and product comparison

321H has its own material requirements for a hot-duty order.

For the enquiry, state the approved forming condition, critical OD tolerance and bend layout if required.

Ordering guidance

Keep 321 and 321H enquiries distinct

For a 321 requirement, state the grade exactly as specified and include the product standard. A similar grade name or dimensional match does not establish that a quoted item satisfies the same material requirement.

For a pipe spool, give the nominal size, schedule, length and end preparation. For a tube, give actual outside diameter, wall, length and finish. If the project requires tests beyond the nominated standard, include them on the purchase list.

Buyer’s guide

321 stainless pipe and tube for specified thermal service

Identify the stabilised grade

321 (UNS S32100) is a titanium-stabilised austenitic stainless grade. It is specified for some welded or temperature-exposed assemblies. If the drawing calls for 321, carry that exact designation through the material enquiry. 321H is a separate grade with its own requirements under the applicable product standard.

Match the connection and forming needs

For a welded spool, give nominal pipe size, schedule or wall, end preparation and the relevant specification. For tube forming, identify actual OD and wall, the delivery condition and any bending details the fabricator needs. If an outside diameter has to fit through an existing sleeve, state the tolerance on the purchase line instead of relying on a nominal size.

Make changes visible at the quote stage

Check the offer for grade, standard, route, delivery condition and length. Where the project imposes material traceability or additional test records, attach the inspection schedule. Give any permitted alternatives their own line and have the project reviewer compare them to the approved design.

Example enquiry

For a thermal-cycling assembly, send the drawing with the 321 material callout, tube length, outside diameter, wall and the bend layout. Identify whether the supplier is pricing straight stock or finished bent sections.

Will the 321 grade specify the bend radius?

The radius is set by the drawing and forming requirements. Give it explicitly if ordering a finished component.

UNS S32100 — A titanium-stabilised austenitic grade. Confirm 321 versus 321H on the purchase order.

Can I use the same page for a 321H order?

Use the 321H page and call out the H grade in the enquiry so it is quoted and checked separately.
