Nandini Steel is a trusted 316 stainless steel sheet supplier in Mumbai, India. We supply ASTM A240 / ASME SA-240 Type 316 stainless steel sheet (UNS S31600 / AISI 316) in thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 20 mm and widths up to 2000 mm. We are ISO 9001-certified, and all our TP316 Sheets are supplied with mill test certificates
316 SS sheet is an austenitic stainless steel flat product supplied in several surface finishes: 2B mill finish, brushed (#4), mirror polished (#8), and bright annealed (BA). Sheets can be cut to the size required by the customer.
The steel contains 16.0 to 18.0% chromium, 10.0 to 14.0% nickel, and 2.00 to 3.00% molybdenum. The molybdenum content is what makes it different from 304 stainless steel, giving it better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. It has a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa (75 ksi), a minimum yield strength of 205 MPa (30 ksi), and a minimum elongation of 40%.
We keep standard 316 stainless steel sheet sizes in stock, including 1000×2000 mm, 1219×2438 mm (4×8 ft), and 1500×3000 mm. We can also provide custom cut sheets. Available to AMS 5524 upon request for aerospace applications. Marine, chemical processing, food processing, and architectural industries use 316 stainless steel sheet because it resists chloride corrosion. For other grades, see our stainless steel sheets.

316 Stainless Steel Sheet Industrial Applications
Marine & Offshore Applications
316 marine-grade stainless steel resists saltwater damage, making it ideal for boat fittings, deck hardware, and offshore platform panels.
Chemical Processing & Petrochemical
316 stainless steel sheet handles moderate sulphuric, phosphoric, and acetic acids well. It is widely used in chemical plant heat exchangers, reactors, and storage tanks.
Food Processing & Pharmaceutical
316 stainless steel sheet is hygienic and corrosion‑resistant for food and pharma. It’s used in brewing, dairy, kitchens, and cleanrooms.
Architectural & Construction
Architects use 316 stainless steel on coastal building exteriors for cladding and sculptures. The brushed No.4 finish looks uniform and resists outdoor corrosion well.
Heat Exchangers & Pressure Vessels
The 18-8 low-carbon plate fabricates shell-and-tube heat exchangers, pressure vessel heads, and condenser plates for power generation.
