Heat exchanger & condenser tubes
Durable Heat Exchanger & Condenser Tubes
Heat exchangers and condenser tubes face significant wear due to thermal cycling and corrosive environments. Our high-quality seamless tubes provide robust solutions against these challenges.
The service challenge
Heat exchangers and condensers often experience wear due to corrosive fluids and thermal fatigue, leading to corrosion fatigue failure. The first components to fail are typically the welded seams in conventional constructions due to stress concentrations.
Recommended pipe or tube by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Exchanger Tube | S30400 | 1.5-5.0 | Excellent corrosion resistance, extending service life. |
| Condenser Tube | S31600 | 1.2-4.5 | Improved pitting resistance, ideal for marine applications. |
| Heat Exchanger Tube | S32100 | 2.0-6.0 | Superior resistance to intergranular corrosion at high temperatures. |
| Condenser Tube | N08825 | 1.0-3.5 | Outstanding resistance to sulfuric and phosphoric acids. |
| Heat Exchanger Tube | S32750 | 2.5-7.0 | High strength and excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. |
Selecting the right pipe or tube
Choose Grade Based on Environment
Select a grade that aligns with the specific chemical exposure of your application.
Consider Tube Thickness
Opt for appropriate thickness based on the pressure requirements of your system.
Evaluate Temperature Conditions
Ensure the selected material can withstand the operational temperatures without compromising integrity.
Utilize Seamless Tubes
Seamless construction minimizes the risk of weak points and enhances overall reliability.
Questions engineers ask
What grades do you recommend for high-temperature applications?
For high-temperature applications, we recommend grades like S31008 and S32100 due to their excellent heat resistance.
How can I improve tube lifespan in corrosive environments?
Using high-alloy grades such as N08825 or S32760 can significantly enhance the lifespan in corrosive settings.
What thickness do I need for high-pressure systems?
The thickness required will depend on the specific pressure ratings; typically, a range of 2.0-6.0 mm is recommended for such applications.
How do I determine the right alloy for my heat exchanger?
Assess the operational environment, including temperature and pressure, as well as fluid composition to choose the most suitable alloy.
