Neeka Tubes is a trusted SS 316 Welded Tube Manufacturer in India, offering premium-quality tubing known for strength, reliability, and corrosion resistance. Our Stainless Steel 316 Welded Tubing is crafted using molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel, making it highly resistant to chlorides, harsh chemicals, and marine exposure. It’s a perfect solution for industries that need strong, long-lasting tubing for high-pressure and corrosive situations. As a dependable SS 316 Welded Tubing Supplier, we ensure every tube complies with ASTM A269, A249, and A312 standards. With precision manufacturing and strict quality checks, we deliver tubing that meets both performance needs and industry expectations.
Stainless steel 316 welded tubing is manufactured by rolling and welding flat strips or plates of grade 316 stainless steel into cylindrical shapes. The tube is perfect for structural and fluid transfer applications, as the welding process produces a strong, clean seam.Β Its high molybdenum content provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly from aggressive cleaning agents, acids, and chlorides. They are a durable, effective option made for applications, require both formability and strength. It effectively manages fabrication, bending, and welding without sacrificing integrity. These durable Stainless Steel 316 Tube Properties make it an ideal choice for engineers and decision-makers working in harsh or hygiene-critical environments.

The Benefits of 316 Stainless Steel Tubing are known for its balanced performance, durability, and ease of use.
When choosing between Stainless Steel Welded Tubing grades 304 and 316, the decision typically depends on the working environment, expected exposure to corrosive elements, and budget considerations.
Offers Better Corrosion Resistance
The biggest difference between 304 and 316 welded tubing is the presence of molybdenum in 316. Its resistance to acids, chlorides and industrial chemicals is increased by this addition which makes it the best choice in harsh situations.
More cost-effective for standard applications
Β If your project doesnβt involve harsh chemicals, saltwater, or acidic solutions, Stainless Steel 304 Welded Tubing is a smart, budget-friendly option. It performs well in dry indoor settings, architectural frameworks, and general fabrication.
Excels in Harsh or Chemical-Rich Environments
Β Salt spray, seawater, and chemical vapors can quickly break down standard stainless steel. Thatβs where 316 is ideal, commonly found in marine fittings, boat rails, offshore platforms, and chemical tanks.
Works Well in Food Prep and Residential Areas
With good resistance to oxidation and most mild chemicals, 304 works great in food prep equipment, sinks, countertops, and freshwater pipelines where exposure isnβt overly aggressive.
Preferred in Hygienic and High-Cleanliness Applications
Environments with regular washdowns or contact with acids require metal that won’t corrode or contaminate. 316 tubing excels here, especially in pharmaceutical lines, dairy plants, breweries and commercial kitchens.
Durability and lifecycle costs
While 316 is more costly initially, it pays over time by decreasing maintenance, corrosion-related failures and part replacements, particularly in harsh situations. When comparing 316 vs 304 SS tube it’s important to weigh performance over time, not just initial pricing.
The difference between 304 and 316 welded tubing is determined by the environment, exposure, and the amount of time the tubing is expected to function properly.

SS 316 welded tubing offers excellent heat and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for demanding industrial and marine applications. It can withstand intermittent high-temperature exposure up to 925Β°C (1697Β°F) and continuous service temperatures up to 870Β°C (1598Β°F) without loss of strength or oxidation issues. The presence of molybdenum enhances its resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion, which are common in seawater, brine, and chemical processing environments. This makes SS 316 welded tubing highly durable and reliable, even in acidic or aggressive media, ensuring long-term performance with minimal degradation.
We manufacture SS 316 welded tubing using advanced processes to ensure superior corrosion resistance, weld integrity, and precise dimensions.




We take the packaging of SS 316 welded tubing seriously to ensure every order arrives in perfect condition. Each tube is coated in moisture-proof material and has plastic end caps to protect against scratches, dirt, and impact. To ensure safety, we put the tubes in sturdy hardwood crates, with visible labeling for easy traceability. We follow international standards, including fumigation and crate reinforcement, so your stainless steel tubing shipment stays secure through long transit. Need something specific? We can provide custom packing alternatives, to meet your specific project or shipment needs. We manage the timely delivery of SS 316 welded tubes through a dependable logistics network, whether it’s a domestic or global shipment
Every SS 316 seamless pipe goes through a full set of quality checks before shipping. We carry out hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure tests to ensure leak-free performance. We can detect interior faults, using non-destructive procedures such as ultrasonic testing (UT), and eddy current testing (ECT). We use spectroscopy and PMI to verify materials. Mechanical tests, including tensile, hardness, and flattening, confirm pipe strength and durability. Our stainless steel pipe certification process involves third-party examination, which is supported by EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates. All SS 316 pipe testing adheres to ASTM A312, ASME, and global standards to ensure complete compliance.
Neeka Tubes is a trusted name in the industry for SS 316 welded tubing manufacturer, known for quality assurance, customization, and on-time delivery.
Stainless Steel 316 welded tubing is known for its superior corrosion resistance, strength and clean finish. These features make it the preferred choice in a variety of demanding sectors.
