Application Of Stainless Steel Pipe In Petrochemical Industry
The stainless steel pipes in petrochemical industry, including the fertilizer industry, has a huge demand The stainless steel pipe in petrochemical industry mostly used is stainless steel seamless pipes , in 304, 321, 316, 316L, 347, 317L, etc, with OD around ¢18-¢610, and the WT around 6mm-50mm (generally, the selection specification is above Φ159mm). Specific applications are: furnace pipes, fluid pipes, heat exchanger tubings , etc. Heat-resistant stainless steel pipes are mainly used for heat exchange and fluid transportation. The Chinese market has an annual capacity of about 200,000 tons. Duplex stainless steel pipes are mainly used in fluid pipes and heat exchangers for chemical and fertilizers. Because of their high strength, stress resistance, corrosion resistance and economy, their annual consumption is about 8,000-10,000 tons. Stainless steel pipes , the pipes used in oilfield drilling and production is super ferritic stainless steel Cr13, Cr25, etc., which is highl...
