Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter – Inox Steel India

ASTM A790 / A928 – UNS S31803, S32205, S32750

Inox Steel India is one of the leading manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steel Pipes in India, supplying to global industries across the GCC, Middle East, African nations, European countries, and both North & South America.

We specialize in Duplex & Super Duplex pipes made from premium grades — Duplex 2205 (UNS S31803 / S32205) and Super Duplex 2507 (UNS S32750) — conforming to ASTM A790 and ASTM A928 standards for seamless, welded, and EFW pipes.

With ISO, PED, and NACE certifications, every pipe from Inox Steel India is manufactured using controlled solution annealing, pickling, and precision sizing processes, ensuring excellent pitting resistance, chloride corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength even in seawater and offshore environments.

Our Duplex & Super Duplex pipes are widely used in desalination plants, offshore platforms, marine engineering, oil & gas, petrochemicals, subsea pipelines, and high-pressure chemical service — where strength + corrosion resistance + reliability are non-negotiable.

What Is a Duplex / Super Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe and How Is It Made?

A Duplex / Super Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe is a hollow tube made with a dual-phase microstructure (50% ferrite + 50% austenite), combining the advantages of both ferritic and austenitic stainless steels:

  • Twice the strength of 304/316
  • Superior resistance to pitting & crevice corrosion
  • Excellent chloride stress corrosion cracking resistance
  • High toughness & fatigue strength

Duplex 2205 is ideal for high-strength + moderate-chloride service, while Super Duplex 2507 provides PREN > 40, making it suitable for seawater, RO desalination, offshore, and subsea environments.

How Duplex & Super Duplex Pipes Are Manufactured

  1. Billet Selection & Heating: High-purity billets of Duplex 2205 / Super Duplex 2507 are heated to ~1250°C.
  2. Piercing & Elongation: A rotary piercer forms a hollow seamless shell with zero weld joints.
  3. Sizing & Rolling: Hot rolling or cold drawing is used to achieve precise OD, WT, and dimensional tolerances.
  4. Heat Treatment (Solution Annealing): Restores austenite-ferrite balance and enhances mechanical strength.
  5. Pickling & Passivation: Removes surface scale and optimizes corrosion resistance—critical for chloride environments.
  6. Final Inspection: Hydro, UT, PMI, G48 Pitting Test, and Ferrite % checks ensure flawless quality as per ASTM standards.

Key Factors to Consider When Selecting Duplex & Super Duplex Pipes

Choosing the correct Duplex/Super Duplex grade depends on:

01.

Operating Environment:

  • Duplex 2205 → Heat exchangers, chemical plants, moderate chloride service
  • Super Duplex 2507 → Seawater, offshore, RO desalination, subsea pipelines

02.

Temperature & Pressure Ratings:
Select appropriate Schedules (SCH 10 to XXS) per ASME B36.19 / B36.10.

03.

Corrosion Resistance & PREN Value:

  • Duplex → PREN 30–38
  • Super Duplex → PREN > 40 (ideal for seawater)

04.

Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)
Both grades outperform 316L and 317L significantly in chloride-rich environments.

05.

Certification & Compliance Requirements

Ensure material comes with:

  • EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2
