Zapp Quality System certified to ISO 9001:2015

Grade 316, 1.4401, UNS S31600 from Zapp for

  • Armoring applications on electromechanical cables
  • Wirelines/ Slicklines for down hole service applications

Characteristics

ZAPP 316, UNS S31600, DIN No. 1.4401 is an austenitic stainless steel that provides good corrosion resistance in CO2 well environments. The ZAPP Grade 316 stainless steel is our entry level CRA (corrosion resistant alloy) product for oil patch applications. It contains about 17% chromium, 12% nickel, and 2.5% molybdenum, which readily enables it to replace conventional carbon/plow steel in corrosive environments.
The material offers good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, but is not recommended for use in H2S environments. Performance in these areas is often measured using Critical Pitting Temperatures (CPT), Critical Crevice Temperatures (CCT), and Pitting Resistance Equivalent Numbers (PREN). ASTM Standard Test Methods G 48 is also referenced. It covers the procedures for the determination of the resistance of various alloys to pitting and crevice corrosion.

Chemistry Standards of Grade 316 stainless steel:

  • AISI 316
  • UNS S31600
  • Alloy-No. 1.4401
  • ASTM A580
For comparison purposes, PREN and CPT numbers are presented for these alloys:

Limiting Chemical Composition of ZAPP Grade 316

Tensile strengths in the order of 205/260,000 psi are achieved through cold drawing. At these strength levels, the wire is ductile and able to successfully pass the wrap test in the as drawn condition as well as the as drawn plus exposed to temperatures as high as 300°F conditions. This wrap or bend test shows no surface cracking or failure in either condition.

Grade 316 stainless steel is also identified as UNS S31600. Wire products are covered by ASTM A580. Materials produced to the UNS S31600 chemistry ranges and manufactured into armor wire or wirelines by Zapp Precision Wire will provide an excellent quality product. Zapp Precision Wire technology, quality, and superior wire drawing capabilities will make the difference for these critical applications. The Zapp Precision Wire quality system is registered to
ISO-9001:2008.

Examples of Theoretical Acceptable Well Environments for ZAPP 316 Wire*

* The theoretical acceptable well environments are based on the SOCRATES software. SOCRATES is a comprehensive material selection tool for oil and gas applications that selects corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) through material evaluation based on mechanical strength parameters, heat treatment/cold work and ardness limitations. The program also evaluates the characterization of the environment in terms of operating pressure, temperature, pH, H2S, chlorides, elemental sulfur, aeration, gas to oil ratio and water to gas ratio water cut. Stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement cracking, sulfide stress cracking and
resistance to pitting corrosion are also evaluated. The examples above are based on the environment listed and do not take into consideration the actual values of elemental sulfur, aeration, gas to oil ratio and water to gas ratio water cut.

PI= Cr + 3.3Mo + 11N + 1.5(W+Nb)
PREN = Cr + 3.3Mo + 30N
