Know more about the components of your Heat Exchanger Tube

It always helps to know more about the components of your heat exchangers so you will know how you can better take care of them and extend their life span. Heat Exchanger Tubes are plain and finned, external or internal. The plain tube is used in the normal heat exchanger units while the finned tubes give an increased heat transfer surface. Another type is the duplex tube. It is a tube within a tube snugly fitted by drawing the outer tube onto the inner tube. It is useful in conditions where the shell side fluid is not compatible with the material satisfactory for the tube side fluid. The outside diameters of the tubes vary from 6 mm to 40 mm. The thickness generally varies depending on the materials of construction and diameters. Tube lengths also vary from 0.5, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 meters. They are laid out either on an equilateral triangular pitch or a square pitch. The minimum pitch is 1.25 times the outside diameter of tubes. When tubes are on the square pitch a minimum cleaning l...

Uses of Stainless Steel Tubes and Pipes

Image
 A usual imagination of pipe is a hollow cylinder or tube which is used to transfer some sorts of liquid material from one place to another. It was in the middle of the 19th century when bulk steel production started in India. It was the Bessemer process that made not only the bulk production possible, but also helped to produce it in cheaply manner. There is hardly any industry which is not using Stainless steel pipes today. So wide are the applications of Stainless Steel Tubes and  Pipes . Earlier iron Stainless Pipes and Tubes were in use, but they were not very much durable and cost-effective as they got rusted after a few years. Steel has improved very much in quality in recent years, and so has grown its industrial use. It is available in different shapes and sizes today such as Ferritic, Martensitic, heat-resistant tubes, Heat-Exchanger Tubes , duplex Stainless Steel Tubes, high-pressure tubes, and U-bend Tubes . Stainless steel is very much in demand for its anti-corro...

Various Types of Stainless Steel Tubes and Their Use

Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and oxidation in low and high temperature because it contains chromium. This is what makes stainless steel different from mild steel or any other steel. Although tubes are not the cheapest option on the market, they have many benefits. Apart from being resistant to corrosion, which enables them to be useful in thin wall piping, they have low fluid friction properties and are easy to maintain, making them cost-effective. They have been used in the construction of safe and long-lasting structures, like factories. Different types of stainless steel tubes are made to withstand different environments, with varying temperatures. Here are several types of such tubes: • Austenitic - ductile, non-magnetic and good for welding. It is used to make kitchen wares, large scale piping, and containers. • Ferritic - same as austenitic, but a better resistant to corrosion. It is used in indoor equipment, like washing machines. • Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex) -...
