Applications of Hastelloy Pipes and Overview of Flanges, Carbon Steel Flanges, And Stainless Steel Round Bar

Hastelloy pipes main application is in chemical process industries which expose them to oxidizing environments and therefore to corrosion.  They are also used in energy, oil and gas, flue gas desulfurization industries. The nickel based hastelloy pipes are corrosion resistant; they can withstand both alkali and acidic liquids. They are made to extremely high standard specifications and so offer stiff resistance to localized corrosion and uniform attack. They are easy to weld and fabricate.

Hastelloy flanges are made according to international standards. They are circular shaped with pits holes at the edges which facilitate proper installation and leave no room for loose shunting. The range available is wide and one can choose from slip-on flanges, socket weld, blind, lapped, screwed, wells neck, plate, plate black, screwed boss variety.

 Best quality raw material goes into the manufacturing of carbon steel flanges and that is why they are strong, durable, corrosion resistant  and of accurate dimension. Carbon steel flanges are made in many types like slip-on, blind, spectacle blind, weld cut, socket cut and threaded to suit the different industry applications. Diary, cement, fertilizer, chemical, oil and gas, petrochemical, beverage and sugar industry use them. They also come with special anti rust coating in red oxide, black Japan, oil; hot dips galvanized and clear transparent lacquer. Each product comes with Milli test report.

Stainless steel round bar comes in standard length of 4m but one can get it to customized length – smaller or greater.  There are many options to choose from – grade, sizes, finishes, tolerances. Two grades – duplex and super duplex grade is available.  Finishes are basically 4 types – drawn, peeled and reeled, smooth turned and ground. The finish will not have mirror like appeal but will have shine. The main difference is in diameter tolerance. These bars are in demand for their superior strength and super resistance to corrosion. They are mainly used in fabrication projects that involve exposure to chemical, acids, fresh water and salt water. Moreover they have excellent machining properties like welding, cutting and forming. Manufacturers use latest processing equipments to provide precision requirements of clients and offer value added services like same day shipping, delivery on time, bar coding and fabrication

The Basics of Duplex Steel Pipes, Plates, Fittings

Duplex means double and true to its name, duplex steel is made up of two substances – austenite and ferrite. Duplex steel tubes are manufactured and supplied to specifications such as range, form (seamless, ERW, welded). Petroleum refineries, pharma plants, nuclear facilities, electric power generation plants, food processing plants- all of them use duplex steel pipes. The pipes come in various sizes and type (hydraulic, capillary, boiler, precision) to suit the different applications. What makes them highly desirable are their properties such as high compound strength, ageing resistance, blowing resistance, chemical resistance and fire safety. They come with additional features like easy assembling and installation, less maintenance cost. As they are used in critical applications, there is no compromise on quality or safety aspect, the best process, technique and testing is applied to ensure they match the highest quality and safety specifications. Stringent product and quality control management is in place to meet industry requirements and maintain product credibility. The manufacturers also provide value added services like electro polish, drew expansion, bending and buffing.

 There is commendable range available in duplex steel pipe fittings. The special features are good welding ability, high mechanical strength, high performance, and high energy absorption. The high content of chromium, nitrogen and molybdenum make them offer resistance to localized and uniform resistance.  These pipes find extensive usage in pulp and paper industry, desalination plants, bridges, water heaters and storage tanks. The pipes come with Milli Test certificate.

Duplex steel plates last long but cost low in maintain ace. They are corrosion resistant, reliable made to precision engineered construction.  They are fabricated according to national and international quality specifications. They come in various grade, range, size, shape and form (foil, slim sheet, rolls, perforated and chequered plate).  These pipes are used in ship building, nuclear, chemical, textile and diary industry. Manufacturers have stock and logistic support to deliver order whenever and wherever the client needs. Clients can place seek enquiry, place order and get quotes online. Manufacturers readily furnish catalogue with all the specifications of products. The best way is to compare the product specifications and price to make the right purchase.
