A surface condenser is a heat exchanger used to condense steam or vapor into liquid by passing it through tubes cooled by water or air, with the cooling fluid flowing outside the tubes. This non-contact design, commonly employed in power plants and industrial processes, ensures efficient heat transfer and allows the condensed liquid to be reused in a closed-loop system. …
Metalsin Tech supplies stainless steel TP316L welded tubes for shell-and-tube heat exchangers of gas treaters in rich amine service. Rich amine service involves handling and processing amine solutions that have absorbed acidic gases like hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in gas processing or refining operations. These “rich” amine solutions are typically regenerated by heating to release the absorbed …
The ASTM A213 T9 seamless tubing is a typical heat-resistant ferritic steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tube, which has the nominal composition 9Cr-1Mo and UNS number K90941. It is also known as 9Cr-1Mo tubing. These tubes are widely used in oil refineries, chemical industries, and fossil or nuclear power plants. The main advantage of 9Cr-1Mo steel is the improved stress …
Chemical Composition Requirements ASTM A213 TP321 seamless tubes are a series of seamless boiler, superheater and heat exchanger tubes made from titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel 321. TP321 contains additional titanium to stabilize the carbon, improving its resistance to sensitization (the formation of chromium carbides) and subsequent intergranular corrosion in high-temperature environments. Compared to TP304 tubing, it exhibits improved corrosion resistance …
The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is a key piece of equipment for natural gas cooling on offshore platforms. The tube side is usually made of ASTM B338 grade 2 titanium U tubes. Its unique U-tube design and efficient heat transfer capabilities make it ideal for the limited space and harsh environmental conditions encountered on offshore platforms. 1. Design and Structure U-tube …
PVC coated stainless steel tubing, also known as stainless steel tubing with PVC coating, is generally a hollow product of round cross section made of stainless steel with an outer coating of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The core tubing, either seamless or welded, is usually made of austenitic stainless steels in accordance with ASTM A269. It is primarily used for general …
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), or butanone, is a volatile, colorless liquid primarily used as a solvent in coatings, adhesives, and chemical production. It is highly effective in dissolving resins and other synthetic polymers and serves as a degreasing agent and chemical intermediate. Methyl ethyl ketone is typically produced in petrochemical plants and refineries through the MEK unit, which is often …
What is a downhole chemical injection line? A downhole chemical injection line is a specialized tubing system used in oil and gas wells to deliver chemicals directly into the wellbore at specific downhole locations. These chemicals are injected to manage and mitigate various issues that can occur during the extraction of hydrocarbons, such as corrosion, scale formation, hydrate formation, and …
ASTM A789 is a standard specification for seamless and welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel tubing, commonly known as duplex stainless steel. UNS S31803 and S32205 are two very commonly used grades under this specification. These tubes, either furnished in average wall thickness or minimum wall thickness, are manufactured for services requiring general corrosion resistance at temperatures usually no greater than 600°F …
Java-7 Power Plant The Java-7 power plant (also called PLTU Jawa 7) is a 2,100 MW coal-fired power plant (CFPP) comprised of two units located at Terate Village, Kramatwatu District, Serang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia. This project is located on the island of Java, Indonesia, with a total investment of more than US$1.88 billion and a total installed capacity of …
Sizes & Wall Thicknesses Metalsin Tech supplies seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel feedwater heater tubes, which are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A688. These tubes may be furnished in straight length or be bent into the form of U-tubes for application in tubular feedwater heaters. The tubing sizes covered shall be 5/8″ to 1″ [15.9 mm to 25.4 mm] …
Metalin Tech supplies TP316 and TP316L welded austenitic stainless steel boiler, superheater, heat exchanger, and condenser tubes, which are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A249 (identical with ASME SA-249). Among the various grades specified under this standard, TP316 and TP316L are widely used due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and good weldability. Designated with nominal composition of 16Cr-12Ni-2Mo, …
