Pipe fittings play essential role in the piping system that are used to supply fluid. Pipe fittings are used to minimize the pressure drop in the piping system. Pipe fittings are available in different materials, types and shapes as per the needs in the industrial sectors. Inconel 600 is one of the reliable material used for the development of Pipe Fittings.
Benefits of Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings
These pipe fittings reduces the turbulence in the piping systems. These pipe fittings are easy to install and can be easily handled. Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings provide leakage proof connection. These pipe fittings are highly recommended due to its longer working life and higher performance even in hospital environments.
Chemical Properties
Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings contains nickel, chromium with addition of other elements like silicon, iron, molybdenum and many other. This unique chemical combination offers higher resistance to corrosion, oxidation at higher temperatures. The chromium and nickel content enable to retain the significant resistance to number of inorganic and organic elements.
Excellent corrosion Resistance
Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings offers very good resistance in chloride containing and carburizing atmospheres. The nickel content offers remarkable resistance to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking. These pipe fittings are also resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion and alkaline solutions. The chromium offers immunity from various oxidizing and sulphur compounds. Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings are unaffected by nitric acid, alkaline and neutral salt solutions and other caustic atmospheres. Apart from this, these pipe fittings resist air, steam and many other reducing media.
Other benefits of Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings
These pipe fittings offer exceptional mechanical features with the combination of very good workability and higher mechanical strength. Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings have higher durability and are readily weldable using standard methods. These pipe fittings possess cold forming characteristics. Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings have higher toughness and flexibility to sustain at elevated pressure and temperature atmospheres.
Applications
Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings offer unique chemical and mechanical benefits that make it widely used in many industrial applications such as power generation, chemical equipment, petrochemical, oil and gas processing, pharmaceutical, heat exchanger and many more. Due to excellent resistive features and less maintenance characteristics Inconel 600 Pipe Fittings are used in the nuclear reactors.
