GH3039 Nickel Alloy Pipe

Specifications: Standards and Classifications

Nickel Alloy Pipes conform to rigorous standards and are available in various grades:

  • Standards: ASTM B161, ASTM B407, ASME SB163, AMS 5580
  • Grades: Incoloy 800 (N08810), Hastelloy C276, Inconel 600, Monel 400, Nickel 200, Alloy 20
  • Classifications: Corrosion-resistant alloys, high-temperature alloys, seamless nickel alloy pipes

These specifications ensure each Nickel Alloy Pipe meets strict quality benchmarks, validated through industry-recognized testing protocols.

Size Range: Dimensions and Customization

Nickel Alloy Pipes come in a wide range of dimensions, with options for customization:

  • Diameter: 6 mm to 600 mm (0.24 to 23.6 inches)
  • Wall Thickness: 0.5 mm to 50 mm (0.02 to 1.97 inches)
  • Length: Standard up to 12 meters (40 feet), customizable lengths available
  • Custom Options: Tailored sizes and schedules (e.g., SCH 10, SCH 40) per request

This versatility makes Nickel Alloy Tubes suitable for both small-scale fittings and large piping systems.

Types: Forms, Processes, and Finishes

Nickel Alloy Pipes are offered in various forms, produced with advanced techniques and finishes:

  • Forms: Seamless Pipe, Welded Pipe, Round Tube, Square Tube
  • Processes: Cold drawing, hot rolling, extrusion, welding
  • Surface Treatments: Pickled, polished (bright annealed), sandblasted, or as-rolled

For instance, an Incoloy 800 (N08810) Seamless Pipe might be hot-rolled for heat resistance, while a Nickel Alloy Tube could be polished for enhanced corrosion protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is nickel alloy pipe?

A:Nickel alloy pipe, such as Inconel or Monel, is a corrosion-resistant, high-strength pipe made from nickel and other elements like chromium or copper, designed for extreme environments like chemical processing or marine applications.

Q:What is nickel alloy pipe used for?

A:Nickel alloy pipe is used in oil and gas for pipelines, chemical plants for reactors, and aerospace for exhaust systems, thanks to its resistance to corrosion, heat, and pressure.

Q:Is nickel alloy the same as hastelloy?

A:Hastelloy is a type of nickel alloy pipe, but not all nickel alloys are Hastelloy. Hastelloy (e.g., C-276) has higher molybdenum for extreme acid resistance, while others like Monel focus on seawater durability.

Q:Is nickel alloy stronger than stainless steel?

A:Nickel alloy pipes, like Inconel 625, often outperform stainless steel in high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, though stainless steel may be more cost-effective for less demanding uses.

Q:Are nickel alloy pipe heavy?

A:Nickel alloy pipes have a density of 8.4-8.9 g/cm³, heavier than stainless steel (7.8 g/cm³). A 1m long, 50mm diameter pipe with 5mm thickness weighs around 5-6 kg, depending on the alloy.

Q:How durable is nickel alloy pipe?

A:Nickel alloy pipes are highly durable, resisting corrosion and wear in harsh environments. With proper maintenance, they can last 20-30 years in chemical or marine settings, even under high stress.
