Why this combination
Why SS 347 in pipes
Niobium survives welding better than titanium, so SS 347 welded pipe keeps its stabilisation through the joint, which is why it is chosen for heavily welded hot systems.
For creep-governed pressure piping, specify SS 347H.

Questions
About SS 347 pipes
SS 347 or SS 321 pipe?
Both are stabilised; SS 347 holds stabilisation better through welding and is somewhat stronger at temperature.
Is SS 347 pipe readily available?
Yes, in common sizes; larger sizes to order.
