High-Performance Pipes & Tubes for Power Plants
In the demanding environment of power plants, wear and corrosion can significantly impact performance. Our seamless pipes and tubes provide the durability needed to overcome these challenges.
The service challenge
Power plants frequently face wear mechanisms such as corrosion and pitting, which often lead to failures in piping systems. The most vulnerable components are often weld seams and surface areas that experience abrasive fluids.
Recommended pipe or tube by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Exchanger Tubes | S31600 | 3-10 | Provides excellent resistance to pitting and oxidation at high temperatures. |
| Boiler Tubes | S34700 | 4-12 | Enhances longevity due to superior corrosion resistance in high-stress environments. |
| Feedwater Pipes | S32205 | 4-15 | Increases durability and reduces downtime with high strength and resistance to corrosion. |
| Condensate Return Lines | N06601 | 5-14 | Offers exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking in high-temperature applications. |
| Steam Lines | S31609 | 3-10 | Ensures reliable performance and resistance against high-temperature oxidation. |
Selecting the right pipe or tube
Choose the Right Grade
Select a grade based on the specific corrosion and temperature challenges in your application.
Consider Thickness Based on Pressure
