2507 Seamless Super Duplex Steel Tube
What Is a Seamless Super Duplex UNS S32750 Tube?
UNSS32750, also designated EN 1.4410 and commonly called 2507, is the reference super duplex stainless steel. Its 25% chromium, 4% molybdenum and high nitrogen content produce a PREN above 40 together with roughly twice the yield strength of standard austenitic grades, which allows thinner walls and lighter structures in high-pressure seawater and subsea duty.
2507 Key Features and Technical Advantages
The Seamless Super Duplex UNS S32750 Tube (EN 1.4410 / Super Duplex 2507) is a premium-grade stainless steel pipe designed for demanding applications involving high pressure, aggressive chloride environments, and critical fluid transmission systems.
Produced from a single solid billet through a seamless process, this tube eliminates weld seams, ensuring uniform mechanical properties, superior pressure resistance, and enhanced operational safety compared to welded alternatives.
UNS S32750 is a Super Duplex Stainless Steel (SDSS) with a balanced 50% austenite and 50% ferrite microstructure, combining the advantages of both phases—high strength and outstanding corrosion resistance.

2507 Dimensional Standards and Tolerances
S32750 super duplex seamless tubes are supplied to the dimensional tolerances of ASTM A789 / A1016 unless a tighter project specification applies.
- For Specific Cut Lengths, the standard tolerance is +1⁄8 in. [3 mm], -0 in. [0 mm].
Important Note: The values presented here are based on the common tables in the ASTM A789 standard. The full specification, particularly the referenced ASTM A1016/A1016M (General Requirements for Ferritic Alloy Steel, Austenitic Alloy Steel, and Stainless Steel Tubes), contains other essential requirements like straightness and details for tubes with ODs outside of this range. Always consult the latest official standard for design and procurement.

| Certification | All Super Duplex S32750 tubes are supplied to ASTM A789 / ASME SA789 and ASTM A790 / ASME SA790 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. |
S32750 (2507) vs S32205 (2205) – Technical Comparison
S32750 super duplex and S32205 standard duplex are the two most common duplex choices. The selection usually turns on how aggressive the chloride environment is.
Chemical Composition and PREN
- S32750: ~25% Cr, ~4% Mo, ~0.3% N — PREN above 40
- S32205: ~22% Cr, ~3% Mo, ~0.17% N — PREN about 35
- The higher alloy content of S32750 is what buys the additional margin
Corrosion Resistance
S32750 resists pitting and crevice attack at higher chloride concentrations and temperatures than S32205, and tolerates more aggressive sour service. Where S32205 is near its critical pitting temperature, S32750 typically still has margin.
Mechanical Strength
Both deliver roughly twice the yield strength of 316L. S32750 is usually slightly stronger, and its higher alloy content allows use at somewhat higher temperature before the austenite-ferrite balance becomes unfavourable.
Selection Guide
- Choose S32750 for the most severe chloride service, high-temperature seawater and demanding subsea duty
- Choose S32205 for the broad middle ground of chemical, oil and gas and desalination piping where it has decades of service experience
- Confirm the critical pitting temperature of the actual service before deciding
Frequently Asked Questions About 2507 Seamless Super Duplex Steel Tubes
