ASTM B163 Standard Specification for Seamless Nickel and Nickel Alloy Condenser and Heat-Exchanger Tubes. Nickel alloy tubes under ASTM B163 can meet the High Strength and corrosion resistance in a range of media including seawater, hydrofluoric acid, sulphuric acid, and alkalies.
ASTM B163 Nickel Alloys Seamless Tube Sizes
ASTM B163 seamless tube sizes covered by this specification are 3 in. (76.2 mm) and under in outside diameter with minimum wall thicknesses of 0.148 in. (3.76 mm) and under, and with average wall thicknesses of 0.165 in. (4.19 mm) and under.
ASME SB 163 Specification Grades
The most popular nickel alloy tube materials under ASTM B163 Standard are: UNS N04400(Monel 400); UNS N06600(Inconel 600); UNS N08800(Inconel 800); UNS N08810(Incoloy 800H); UNS N08811(Incoloy 800HT); UNS N08825(Incoloy 825); UNS N02200(Nickel 200); UNS N02201(Nickel 201), etc.
Nickel Alloys Seamless Tube Resistant To Corrosion
ASTM B163 Coiled Tubing is highly resistant to corrosion in different environments. This tubing enables the speed of the operation to be fast at the same time, it is very safe and easy to run. ASME SB 163 Tubing is used in applications for drilling, logging, fracturing, perforating, and production operations.
