It is the difference in carbon content that distinguishes the two grades. 316L (low carbon) has carbon max 0.03% and 316 has 0.08%.

Research the website there you will ofnd techincal papaers reated to stainless steel.

After you have read that lot you can search the websites of Sandvik, Avesta, RA Amterials and Outokumpu.

It means the material is "Dual Rated" with the corrosion resistant properties of the "L" grade and the mechanical allowable stress properties of the "straight" grade.
