WHAT ARE BOILER TUBES AND HOW ARE THEY MADE? Boiler tubes are seamless tubes and are made of either carbon steel or alloy steel. They are widely used in steam boilers, for power generation, in fossil fuel plants, industrial processing plants, electric power plants, etc. Boiler tubes can either be medium-pressure boiler pipe or high-pressure boiler [...]
Advantages of Tubes What is a tube? Tubes are great for transporting fluids or protecting electrical or optical connections and wires. Although slight differences exist, the words “pipe” and “tube” are practically identical – in general, a Tube has more stringent technical standards than a pipe. In today’s fluid systems there are a lot [...]
Non-Destructive Testing Types (LP/MP/UT/RX) Non-destructive test (abbreviated, NDT) used to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of a welded connection without damaging the equipment. The most common non-destructive tests are visual inspection, penetrating fluids, magnetic particles, radiographic (RX) and ultrasonic examination (UT). TYPES OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING In this article, we review the most common non-destructive testing [...]
WHAT IS METAL AGING? Metal aging is one of the most common ways to alter the properties of a metal alloy. While many metals may have their properties altered through heating and quenching or work hardening, some metal alloys are specifically formulated to be aged. Aging can alter the physical and aesthetic properties of an [...]
