Where to get high quality heat exchanger tubes?
What are heat exchanger tubes?
Heat exchange tubes are intended for heating or cooling process fluids, they are for example suitable for closed circuit cooling of electrical equipment using demineralised water and for cooling water soluble oil solutions in quenching tanks.
Heat exchanger tubes in an extensive range of austenitic stainless steels, duplex stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium and zirconium, suitable for all types of heat exchangers, such as seawater coolers, condensers, evaporators, heaters and reheaters.
Heat exchanger Tubes are used in all types of process industries. Characteristic requirements are: bead worked weld, fixed lengths and extensive testing.
Surface protection: Unless otherwise stated in order tubes are delivered with inner and outer surfaces temporarily protected with a film of light mineral oil.
Tubes ends: The tubes are supplied plain, square cut and on request the tubes can be deburred.
Application:
Pipes are made from more than 20 steel grades of various corrosion resistance and are intended for application in conditions of a wide range of corrosion environments and temperatures in heat exchanger.
