​​ASTM A790 is the standard specification for seamless and welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel pipe. This specification covers piping intended for general corrosive and high-temperature service applications.​​

 

​​S31803 is the grade designation for a duplex stainless steel alloy under ASTM A790. It is also known as UNS S31803 or Duplex 2205. The "S" prefix indicates a stainless steel material, while "31803" is the Unified Numbering System (UNS) name for this specific alloy.​​

 

​​ASTM A790 S31803 is a specification covering seamless and welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel pipe for general corrosive and high-temperature service. SA790 UNS S31803 pipe exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance in seawater and other chloride-rich environments. Its resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking makes it one of the most cost-effective long-term solutions available.​​

 

​​Duplex 31803 seamless pipe is suitable for high-sensitivity applications requiring precise measurements. However, compared to welded UNS S31803 pipe, the seamless characteristic slightly reduces its strength.​​

 

​​A790 S31803 DSS ERW pipe is used in applications including seawater and marine environments, chemical processing industries, food processing plants, heat generators, automotive components, boiler parts, and other high-temperature applications. Electric fusion welded (EFW) duplex S31803 UNS pipe can also be used interchangeably for less critical applications where slightly lower performance requirements are acceptable.​
