In the modern industrial landscape, the efficiency and safety of boiler systems are paramount. Among the crucial components that facilitate these operations are seamless steel pipes. This post delves into the categorization of seamless steel pipes specifically used for high-pressure applications, presenting their composition, structural integrity, and testing requirements.
For high-pressure boiler systems, seamless steel pipes constructed from high-quality carbon structural steel, alloy structural steel, and stainless heat-resistant steel are critical. These pipes are specifically designed to endure extreme conditions, typically operating under elevated temperature and pressure.
The rigorous environment in which high-pressure boiler tubes function exposes them to oxidation and corrosion due to high-temperature flue gas and water vapor. As such, it is essential that these steel pipes exhibit high lasting strength, remarkable oxidation resistance, and excellent organizational stability.
The steel grades utilized for high-pressure boiler tubes include:
- **High-Quality Carbon Structural Steels:** 20G, 20MnG, 25MnG.
- **Alloy Structural Steels:** 15MoG, 20MoG, 12CrMoG, 15CrMoG, 12Cr2MoG, 12CrMoVG, 12Cr3MoVSiTiB.
- **Rusty and Heat-Resistant Steels:** Commonly used grades include 1Cr18Ni9 and 1Cr18Ni11Nb.
Ensuring the structural integrity of high-pressure boiler tubes requires rigorous testing protocols, including hydraulic pressure tests, expansion tests, and flattening tests. Additionally, specific requirements may be established for the microstructure, grain size, and decarburization layer of the finished steel pipes, which are delivered in a heat-treated condition to meet industry standards.
