The main difference between SS 310S and 310 tubes is the carbon content. SS 310S has a maximum of 0.08% carbon, which increases its weldability and resistance to carbide precipitation. SS 310, on the other hand, has a maximum carbon content of 0.25% for improved creep strength at high temperatures.
ASTM A213 310S Stainless Steel Seamless Tubes Manufacturer
We, Zhejiang Xintongda Special Steel (XTD), are a leading manufacturer and global supplier of high-quality stainless steel 310S seamless tubes. This tube is an austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel. It contains approximately 25% chromium and 20% nickel. This provides excellent oxidation resistance for intermittent service up to 2010°F (1100°C). We produce this tube in compliance with ASTM A213, A269, A511, and EN 10216-5 standards. SS 310S tube is a low-carbon version of the standard 310 grade. It offers superior ease of fabrication while remaining less prone to embrittlement in service. The tube’s unique resistance to high-temperature applications and hot corrosion makes it a preferred choice for furnaces and heat exchangers. We hold multiple international certifications and have an annual supply capacity of 25,000 tons. We can supply these tubes within a week for stock orders.

How is SS 310S Seamless Tube produced?
As an experienced 310S stainless steel tube manufacturer, our manufacturing process starts by heating solid billets. We then pierce the centre to make a hollow shell and use cold drawing or rolling to get the exact size. Lastly, we use solution annealing and pickling to ensure the UNS S31008 tube meets all the requirements for strength and finish. Refer to our production page to learn about our detailed manufacturing process.
What are the Characteristics of Stainless Steel 310S Seamless Tubes?
Stainless steel seamless 310s tubes have 3 main characteristics. These are: moderate strength at high temperature, oxidation resistance, resistance to hot corrosion.
- Moderate Strength at High Temperature: The AISI 310S stainless steel tube maintains its structural integrity and mechanical strength even when exposed to continuous high heat. This occurs because the high alloy content prevents the metal from softening or deforming under thermal stress.
- Oxidation Resistance: These stainless steel 310s tubes form a protective scale layer due to chromium that keeps oxygen from getting through and damaging the metal underneath. This feature allows the tubes to stay strong and resist scaling, even when they operate continuously at temperatures up to 2000°F.
- Resistance to Hot Corrosion: The SS 310S tube has a unique chemical composition which protects against corrosive gases like sulfur at elevated temperatures. This makes the tubes ideal for places where regular metals would normally be destroyed due to chemical combustion.
What is the Equivalent Standard for 310S Stainless Steel?
The equivalent standards of 310S tube include UNS S31008, DIN 1.4845 and JIS SUS310S. The table explains these equivalent standards more clearly.

Applications for Stainless Steel 310S Seamless Tube
AISI 310S stainless steel tube is used in the following 10 demanding applications:
Food Processing
In this industry, the SS 310S tube is used in high-heat cooking and drying equipment. Its corrosion resistance ensures that the food remains uncontaminated during intensive processing cycles.
Power Generation
This 310S stainless tube is used for coal gasifier internals and pulverised coal burners. These parts must endure the intense heat and abrasive particles found inside power plant boilers.
Furnaces
Inside industrial furnaces this tube is used for burners, doors, and fans. The tube survives the constant direct flame contact and thermal cycling without losing its shape.
Ore Processing/Steel Plants
The SS 310S seamless tube is vital for smelter equipment and continuous casting lines. It handles the molten metal splash and high radiant heat found near the melting pots.
Sintering/Cement Plants
The tube is used in burner shields and discharge systems. It resists the harsh, dusty, and high-temperature environment of the rotating kilns.
Heat Exchangers & Boilers
310S stainless tube is chosen for high-pressure boiler tubing and heat transfer systems. It efficiently moves heat while resisting the internal pressure and external oxidation.
Cryogenic Components
The SS 310S seamless tube is used to transport liquified gases because it stays tough at sub-zero temperatures. It prevents the piping system from shattering when exposed to extreme cold.
Fluidised Bed Furnaces
Our 310S stainless tube is installed in coal combustors and wind boxes to manage air flow. The material withstands the turbulent, high-heat environment where coal is burned for energy.
Thermal Processing
In thermal plants, the tube is used for annealing covers and muffles. It protects the treated metal parts from the atmosphere while maintaining consistent heat levels.
Petroleum Refining
The AISI 310S stainless steel tube is used in catalytic recovery systems and flare tips. These components must resist the corrosive chemicals and high heat generated during oil distillation.
