Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 Pipe: supplier, stockist and exporter in Mumbai, India
Rajgranth Metal & Alloys supplies duplex stainless steel 2205 pipe (UNS S32205) from Mumbai and exports it to 18 markets.
What is Duplex 2205 pipe?
Pipe is sized by nominal bore and schedule and is made to carry fluid or to act as structural section. Duplex 2205 pipe is supplied welded or seamless depending on the duty: welded for general and larger-diameter lines, seamless where there must be no weld seam or the design code requires it. Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205 and S31803, EN 1.4462) has a mixed austenitic and ferritic structure with 22 percent chromium, about 5 percent nickel and 3 percent molybdenum, plus nitrogen. It is about twice as strong as 316L and resists chloride pitting and stress corrosion cracking better.
Rajgranth Metal & Alloys lists Duplex 2205 among the grades it supplies and exports from Mumbai.

Standards for Duplex 2205 pipe
Duplex 2205 pipe is commonly specified to ASTM A790 / ASME SA-790 and ASTM A928. Commonly specified product standards. Confirm the standard, edition and any supplementary requirements on your order; we supply to the standard you name.
Why buyers choose Duplex 2205 pipe
Roughly twice the yield strength of 316L, allowing thinner walls
Good resistance to chloride pitting and stress corrosion cracking
Lower nickel content makes its price steadier than austenitic grades
Where Duplex 2205 pipe is used
- Oil and gas process and flowlines
- Desalination and seawater systems
- Chemical process vessels and pipe
- Pressure vessels and storage tanks
- Pulp and paper digesters
What to state when you enquire for Duplex 2205 pipe
- Nominal bore and schedule, or outside diameter and wall thickness
- Seamless or welded
- Length, with 5 m to 6.5 m the published stock range and longer to order
- End condition: plain or bevelled
- Surface condition: annealed and pickled, bright annealed or polished
- The standard, and the test certificate required
What to check on Duplex 2205 pipe before and after delivery
On Duplex 2205 pipe check the wall thickness against the schedule, the end preparation, and the heat number against the mill test certificate. For welded pipe, ask whether the weld seam has been dressed if the pipe is for exposed or polished use. Confirm that the pressure rating and design code your line is built to accept the grade and the pipe standard. Grade limits to design around: not for service above about 300 degrees C, where it loses toughness and welding needs controlled heat input to hold the phase balance.
Export of Duplex 2205 pipe from India

Duplex 2205 compared with similar grades
Buyers who look at Duplex 2205 pipe usually also compare Super Duplex 2507, SS 316L and Duplex 2304. The grade pages below give each one's designations, properties and limits side by side so you can choose for the service rather than the price alone.
FAQ
09Questions answered
- What is the difference between S31803 and S32205?
- S32205 is a tighter version of the same 2205 composition, with higher chromium and nitrogen minimums. Most material is now dual-certified to both.
- Why is duplex 2205 stronger than 316L?
- The mixed ferrite and austenite structure and the nitrogen content give it a minimum yield strength of 450 MPa against 170 MPa for 316L.
- What is the temperature limit of 2205?
- It is generally used up to about 300 degrees C. Above that, it can embrittle, so check the duty before specifying it.
- What is the difference between Duplex 2205 pipe and tube?
- Pipe is specified by nominal bore and schedule, which fixes the wall for each size. Tube is specified by actual outside diameter and wall thickness. If you have an outside diameter and a wall, you are normally buying tube.
- Which standard applies to Duplex 2205 pipe?
- Duplex 2205 pipe is commonly specified to ASTM A790 / ASME SA-790 and ASTM A928. Confirm the standard and edition on your order.
- What is the minimum yield and tensile strength of Duplex 2205?
- In the annealed condition, Duplex 2205 has a minimum yield strength of 450 MPa and a minimum tensile strength of 655 MPa, per the standard named in the table above.
- What is the UNS number and EN designation of Duplex 2205?
- Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 is designated UNS S32205 and EN 1.4462, and is also called S31803, 2205 and UNS S31803.
- What are the main alloying elements in Duplex 2205?
- To the standard in the composition table, Duplex 2205 carries chromium 22.00 – 23.00, nickel 4.50 – 6.50 and molybdenum 3.00 – 3.50 percent by weight. Confirm the composition on the mill test certificate supplied with your material.
- Do you supply a mill test certificate with Duplex 2205 pipe?
- Yes, to EN 10204 3.1 as standard, showing chemistry and mechanical properties against the heat. EN 10204 3.2 with third-party inspection is available on request.
