Typical Errors to Avoid in Heat Exchanger Tube Selection

Image
  Tube selection for heat exchangers is important for thermal units to operate well, be power efficient, and last for its time. Some people often associate with misusing such parts through which costly damage, high repairs, downtime, and even safety issues arise. Heat exchanger tube selection is a critical design process for improved performance and efficiency in various processing industries. In this blog, we will analyze four common mistakes to avoid while selecting heat exchanger tubes, helping you to make the right decisions and increasing your returns on investment. 1. Overlooking Material Compatibility It is difficult to distinguish a mistake when selecting heat exchanger tubes the most; it is the problem of material compatibility. A variety of application areas is apparent in the use of the tube as a whole; not only the fluids but also the temperatures and pressures set a boundary on exact type and material. If you choose not to select the correct material, you will most lik...

4 Types of SA Category Boiler Tubes

Image
  Smoothing-Austenitic, SA tubes for short, are the tubes for general production purpose. A decent example of this strength is represented in the polycrystalline tubes which have no rusting, not at all subject to high shearing stress, and maintain high temperatures as well as pressures. In this article, we'll be looking at four types of SA tubes: tubes’ advantages and features will be detailed in this post to make the right decision when selecting the proper heat exchanger for your boiler system. 1. SA213 T11 The SA213 T11 grade is highly priced by b oiler tube manufacturers in India.  This ferritic alloy welded tube is designed for use in a high-temperature operation state, which is commonly found in boilers and heat exchangers. As its creep strength is high and it can work continuously at temperature up to 1200°F (649°C) which is the highest permissible temperature for alloy steel. So, SA213 T11 is very suitable for operating superheaters and reheating devices. Being the fac...

Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger Tubes' Advantages

Image
  Stainless steel heat exchanger tubes   have been recently widely adopted due to their remarkable properties and advantages, which enable the industry to provide high-quality products and services. In this blog, we will go through four major benefits that can be found in stainless steel heat exchanger tubes and the reasons why the majority of people tend to select them. 1. Corrosion Resistance Although the moniker of being the strongest metal is it’s most famous attribute, the  stainless steel heat exchanger tubes   best anti-corrosive properties probably come as its most significant advantage. An alloy of Stainless steel is that the wear layer on the outer surface would act as shield against corrosion and rust. Some common examples are:  SA213 TP304 and SA213 TP316 . These provide the best corrosion resistance options for your purpose, depending on the one you select. 2. High-Temperature Resistance Stainless steel heat exchanger tubes are manufactured to handl...
