Material (F51 Duplex Stainless Steel)
Corrosion Resistance:
- Exceptional resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking (SCC), suitable for seawater and acidic oil & gas environments.
- Resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion (PREN ≥35).
Mechanical Properties:
- High strength: Tensile strength ≥620 MPa (approximately twice that of 316 stainless steel).
- Good low-temperature toughness (applicable down to -50°C).
- Temperature Range: -50°C to +300°C (long-term use), with short-term exposure up to +350°C.
Typical Applications
- Marine Engineering: Seawater cooling systems, subsea Christmas trees.
- Oil & Gas: Gathering and transmission pipelines in sour gas fields (containing H₂S/CO₂).
- Chemical Industry: Transport of chloride-containing media (e.g., brine, hydrochloric acid).
- Desalination Plants: High-pressure reverse osmosis (RO) system branch connections.
- Advantages: Compared to austenitic stainless steel (e.g., 316L), it offers both high strength and corrosion resistance at a lower cost than super duplex stainless steel (e.g., F53).

More Information about MSS SP-97 A182 F51 Outlet Fittings
MSS SP-97 A182 F51 Outlet Fittings are forged branch connection fittings that comply with the following standards:
MSS SP-97: Specifies the design, dimensions, and testing requirements for integrally reinforced forged branch outlet fittings, suitable for socket weld (SW), buttweld (BW), and threaded connections.
ASTM A182 F51: A duplex stainless steel (Duplex Stainless Steel) material standard, corresponding to UNS S31803 (22% chromium, 5% nickel, 3% molybdenum), combining the advantages of austenitic and ferritic structures.
Selection and Installation Guidelines
Selection Criteria:
- Media Compatibility: Suitable for chloride-containing, weakly acidic, or alkaline media. Avoid strongly oxidizing acids (e.g., concentrated nitric acid).
- Temperature and Pressure: Ensure operating temperature ≤300°C and pressure complies with the Class rating.
- Welding Requirements: Use matching filler metals (e.g., ER2209) and control heat input (0.5–2.5 kJ/mm) to avoid sigma phase precipitation.
Installation Notes:
- Welding Process: Preheating is not mandatory, but interpass temperature must be ≤150°C.
- Surface Treatment: Passivation with pickling to restore corrosion resistance (especially post-welding).
- Inspection Requirements: Liquid penetrant testing (PT) or radiographic testing (RT).
Comparison with Other Materials

FAQ
- F53 (UNS S32750) is a super duplex stainless steel with higher chromium (25%) and molybdenum (4%) content, PREN≥40, offering superior corrosion resistance but at a higher cost.
- <10% concentration: Excellent resistance at ambient temperatures
- >10% concentration: Not recommended—consider alloy 20 (N08020)
- Hot concentrated acid: Avoid—use Hastelloy B-3 instead
- Continuous service: -50°C to +300°C (-58°F to 572°F)
- Short-term exposure: Up to 350°C (662°F)
- Avoid: Prolonged use >300°C (risk of embrittlement from sigma phase)
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.
