DennisB is right. If your pipelines are welded then SS 316L is better.But depending on the chemical you have to make the selection of whether 304 or 316. Then L comes into picture. There are even SS304L steels also available in market. But if the chemical is dilute acid of strong alkali then SS 316 is better option. (except caustic and HNO3)
