Duplex Stainless Steel S31803 Seamless Pipes & Tubes
Duplex S31803 is the earlier designation that overlaps with S32205. S31803 has a slightly wider composition range and may have a lower minimum PREN than S32205. Many existing specifications still reference S31803, though S32205 is now the preferred designation for new projects.
