MSS SP-97 A182 F316 Outlet Fittings
MSS SP-97 A182 F316 Outlet Fittings are integrally reinforced forged branch connection fittings compliant with the U.S. MSS SP-97 standard, manufactured from ASTM A182 F316 austenitic stainless steel for severe corrosive environments.
High Quality MSS SP-97 A182 F316 Outlet Fittings
- Connection Types: Socket weld, buttweld, threaded.
- Pressure Ratings: Class 3000, 6000, 9000 (~750 psi, 1500 psi, 2250 psi).
- Reinforced Design: Forged construction provides extra thickness at the branch-to-header junction, eliminating the need for reinforcement pads

FAQ
- F316L (low-carbon) is preferred for welded applications to prevent sensitization; F316 is suitable for non-welded components.
Not recommended – use urea-grade stainless (e.g., 316L Mod).
MSS SP-97 A182 F316 Outlet Fittings deliver exceptional corrosion resistance and structural reliability, making them the premier solution for chemical, marine, and other corrosive applications. Selection must carefully consider media composition, concentration, and temperature parameters. Material corrosion testing is advised for extreme conditions.
