321 Stainless Steel Reducers

Grade: 321

Types:

Concentric Reducer, Eccentric Reducer, Straight Reducer, Seamless Reducer, Welded Reducer

Standard:

ASME B16.9, EN 10253-4:2025, JIS B2312/2313

321 is a titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel based on the 304 family. Titanium reduces the tendency for chromium carbide precipitation during elevated-temperature exposure, making the grade useful for welded fittings subjected to heat and thermal cycling. It provides good general corrosion resistance together with good high-temperature stability and is commonly specified for thermal process piping, heat exchangers and petrochemical equipment.
