Quality Assurance and Manufacturing Process

Certification

All TP310MoLN (UNS S31050) tubes are supplied to ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 and ASTM A312 / ASME SA312 with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates. Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TUV, Lloyd's), PMI reports and full heat-number traceability can be provided on request.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Hydrostatic or eddy-current testing is performed on 100% of tubes. Ultrasonic testing (UT) and dye-penetrant inspection (PT) are available for critical service, with records retained for each production lot.

Material Verification

Positive Material Identification (PMI) and spectrometric analysis confirm that the chemical composition matches the ordered grade and that the ferrite/austenite balance is within the specified range.

Mechanical Testing

Tensile, yield, elongation and hardness tests are carried out per heat. Impact testing can be supplied at the project design temperature for subsea and low-temperature service.

Dimensional Inspection

Outside diameter, wall thickness, ovality and straightness are measured against ASTM A1016 / A1016M or ASTM A789 tolerances. Length, square-cut ends and end-finish conditions are verified before packing.

TP310MoLN vs TP316L / TP310 – Technical Comparison

TP310MoLN is a specialised high-alloy austenitic grade developed for urea service. Comparing it with TP316L and TP310 clarifies its niche.

Chemical Composition

TP316L: 2–3% Mo, no nitrogen addition, carbon 0.030% maximum
TP310: 24–26% Cr, 19–22% Ni, no molybdenum, no nitrogen
TP310MoLN (S31050): ~25% Cr, ~22% Ni, 2–3% Mo, 0.10–0.16% N, fully austenitic

Urea Carbamate Resistance

TP310MoLN was developed specifically to resist urea carbamate corrosion, the failure mode that governs urea stripper and carbamate condenser life. Neither TP316L nor TP310 has the combination of molybdenum, nitrogen and fully austenitic structure required for that duty.

Chloride Stress-Corrosion Resistance

The combination of high chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen gives TP310MoLN excellent resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking, better than TP316L and comparable to the other high-alloy austenitic grades. It is also fully non-magnetic.

Selection Guide

Choose TP310MoLN for urea synthesis equipment — strippers, carbamate condensers and high-pressure internals
Choose TP316L for general corrosion service where neither urea nor severe chloride duty applies
Choose TP310 where high-temperature oxidation resistance is the requirement and molybdenum is not needed

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TP310MoLN tube?

TP310MoLN (UNS S31050) is a high-alloy, fully austenitic stainless steel tube developed specifically for urea-grade service. Its chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content delivers exceptional resistance to urea carbamate corrosion.
