FAQ

 

Q: What is ASTM B163?

A: A standard for seamless nickel & nickel-alloy tubes used in condensers, heat exchangers, and corrosive service applications.

Q: What are the available sizes?

A: OD: ⅛ inch to 3 inches. Wall thickness per schedule (e.g., SCH 40/80/160). Custom sizes are achievable.

Q: Do you provide certification?

A: Yes, full Mill Test Certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 with chemical & mechanical test reports.

Q: What testing is performed?

A: Hydrostatic/NDT, flattening, flaring, chemical analysis, and mechanical tests per ASTM B163.

Q: Typical delivery time?

A: Stock: 3-5 days; Customized (e.g., specific cut length/grade): 15-20 days

Q: Suitable for high-temperature service?

A: Yes, grades like Inconel 600/601 excel in heat exchangers and boilers up to 700°C+.

Q: Why choose seamless tubes?

A: No weld seams mean uniform strength, better corrosion resistance, and higher pressure ratings.
