The ASTM A182 F316/L Equal Cross is a type of pipe fitting designed to connect three pipes of the same diameter at a single point, forming a cross-shaped junction. It is manufactured from F316/L stainless steel, which provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. The “L” in F316/L signifies a lower carbon content, which enhances the material’s weldability and minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation during welding. This fitting is commonly used in various industries, including chemical processing, petrochemical, and marine applications, where reliability and durability are crucial. The Equal Cross ensures a seamless flow of materials through the intersecting pipes and is available in different sizes and pressure ratings to suit specific application needs.
