316L NACE Compliance
316L NACE Compliance
(OP)
Per NACE MR-01-75 / ISO 15156 does 316L (UNS 31600) have the same restrictions as 316 (UNS 31603)? That is without qualification can it be used for application other than instrument tubing or compression fittings.

Table A.1 refers the Austenitic Stainless Steel materials to "Any Equipment or Component" made of these steels, with the exception of few specific applications where other Tables also applies.
Hope this helps.
