ASME SA179 KCS Carbon Steel Seamless Tube for Heat Exchangers HIC SSC Tested

ASME SA179 Carbon Steel Seamless Tubes for Heat Exchangers HIC & SSC Tested

Our ASME SA179 Carbon Steel Seamless Tubes are specifically designed for heat exchangers, providing excellent performance and reliability. These tubes are manufactured to meet the stringent standards of ASME SA179, which outlines specific requirements for seamless carbon steel tubes.

Carbon steel is a crucial material in various industrial applications due to its strength, durability, and resistance to heat. The ASME SA179 seamless tubes are particularly known for their high tensile strength and outstanding corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in heat exchangers.

Testing Requirements: HIC and SSC

To ensure the quality and longevity of our tubes, we conduct rigorous testing in accordance with global standards:

• Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) Testing: This test assesses the resistance of the tubes to hydrogen-induced cracking, ensuring they can withstand challenging environments.
• Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSC) Testing: This evaluates the materials’ integrity under stress and corrosive conditions, guaranteeing their reliability in service.

Main characteristics of killed steel(KCS STEEL):

1. Stable Composition: Quiet steel is produced by reducing the oxygen content in the molten steel, which lowers the number of unreacted particles, resulting in a more uniform composition and performance.

2. Good Toughness and Ductility: Due to its specific chemical composition, quiet steel exhibits better toughness and ductility than ordinary carbon steel, maintaining good performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

3. Excellent Weldability: KCS steel has good welding properties, allowing for the formation of strong and reliable joints during manufacturing, making it suitable for the assembly of boilers and heat exchangers.

4. Corrosion Resistance: While it is not primarily a stainless steel, its low carbon characteristics give it certain corrosion-resistant properties in specific chemical environments.

5. Strong Adaptability: The mechanical and forming properties of quiet steel make it widely used in the manufacturing of equipment in industries such as petroleum, chemical, and power generation, particularly for pressure vessels and heat exchangers.

6. Heat Treatment Performance: Its good heat treatment performance allows the steel to adapt to various working conditions, enhancing durability and service life.
