Instrumentation & impulse tubing
Durable Solutions for Instrumentation Tubing
Instrumentation and impulse tubing applications face significant wear challenges due to environmental stressors. Our seamless stainless steel and nickel alloy solutions are engineered to withstand these demanding conditions.
The service challenge
The primary wear mechanisms in this application include impact and sliding abrasion, leading to pipe degradation over time. Typically, the inner surfaces of the tubes experience erosion and thinning, compromising structural integrity and flow efficiency.
Recommended pipe or tube by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instrumentation Tubing | S30400 | 3-10 | Excellent corrosion resistance ensures a longer service life. |
| Impulse Tubing | N08825 | 2-8 | High strength and oxidation resistance significantly reduce maintenance costs. |
| Instrumentation Tubing | S31600 | 1-12 | Superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion enhances reliability. |
| Pulse Tubing | S32750 | 4-15 | Duplex structure offers remarkable strength and withstands harsh environments. |
| Impulse Tubing | N06601 | 3-9 | Outstanding high-temperature strength prolongs operational life. |
Selecting the right pipe or tube
Choose the right grade
Select a grade that matches your environmental conditions and mechanical requirements.
Consider thickness compatibility
Ensure that the tube thickness aligns with the pressure and temperature ratings of your application.
Evaluate corrosion resistance
Assess the materials based on potential exposure to corrosive substances.
Maintenance and inspection
Regular maintenance and inspection can help detect wear early and extend the life of the tubing.
Questions engineers ask
What is the typical lifespan of these tubes?
The lifespan can vary based on application conditions, but our materials are designed for longevity, often exceeding 5 years.
How do I choose the correct thickness?
Thickness should be chosen based on the specific pressure and temperature requirements of your system.
What benefits does duplex provide?
Duplex grades offer higher strength and better stress corrosion cracking resistance, ideal for demanding applications.
Can I get custom sizes?
Yes, we provide customization options to meet the specific dimensions and requirements of your projects.
