ASTM B444 Alloy 625 UNS N06625 Inconel 625 Inconel Pipe STEEL PIPES & TUBES

1.Difference Between Tube and Pipe

Is It a Pipe or a Tube?

In some instances the terms may be used interchangeably, however there is one key difference between tube and pipe, particularly in how the material is ordered and toleranced. Tubing is used in structural applications so the outside diameter becomes the important dimension. Tubes are often put into applications such as medical devices that require precise outside diameters. The outside diameter is important since it will indicate how much it can hold as a stability factor. Where as pipes are normally used to transport gasses or liquids making it important to know the capacity. Knowing how much can flow through the pipe is key. The circular shape of the pipe make it efficient when handling pressure from the liquid flowing through.

Classification

The classification of pipes are schedule and nominal diameter. Pipe is typically ordered using the Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) standard and by specifying a nominal diameter (pipe size) and schedule number (wall thickness). The schedule number can be the same on different size pipe but the actual wall thickness will be different.

Tubes are typically ordered to outside diameter and wall thickness; however, it may also be ordered as OD & ID or ID and Wall Thickness. The strength of a tube depends on the wall thickness. The thickness of a tube is defined by a gauge number. Smaller gauge numbers indicate larger outside diameters. The inside diameter (ID) is theoretical. Tubes can come in different shapes such as square, rectangular and cylindrical, whereas Pipe is always round. The circular shape of the pipe make the pressure force evenly distributed. Pipes accommodate larger applications with sizes that range from a ½ inch to several feet. Tubing is generally used in applications where smaller diameters are required.

Ordering Your Tubing or Pipe

Tubing is typically ordered to outside diameter and wall thickness; however, it may also be ordered as OD & ID or ID and Wall Thickness. Although tubing has three dimensions (O.D., I.D. and wall thickness) only two may be specified with tolerances and the third is theoretical. Tubing is usually ordered and held to tighter and more stringent tolerances and specifications than pipe. Pipe is typically ordered using the Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) standard and by specifying a nominal diameter (pipe size) and schedule number (wall thickness).

Hopefully this article has helped explain the difference between tube and pipe, however if you need additional information please check out our top 10 tips for ordering tubing, most of these tips also relay to pipe as well. Both tubes and pipes can be cut, bent, flared and fabricated.

2.Inconel 625 pipe

Combining high strength properties with ease of fabrication, Nickel Alloy 625 and Inconel® 625 is a popular nickel-chromium alloy pipe used in nuclear power production, marine engineering, and aerospace.

With the addition of molybdenum and niobium, Nickel Alloy 625 pipe features enhanced strength characteristics. It offers outstanding thermal fatigue strength over a wide range of temperatures ranging from cryogenic to 1800 ºF (982 ºC).

Nickel Alloy 625 is also resistant to oxidation as well as.

Huitong Group was established in 1978. After 38 years'development and innovation,by now,Huitong Group has set up multiple subsidiary companies.Among them,Zhengzhou Huitong Pipe Fitting Co.,Ltd.,with the indepent right of import and export, is mainly engaged in exporting steel pipe and pipe fittings for Huitong Group and assisting another subsidiary company of Huitong Group:Zhengzhou Huitong Machanical Equipment Co.,Ltd., in exporting machanical equipment.

Zhengzhou Huitong Pipeline Equipment Co.,Ltd.,with the strong support of Huitong Group,and years'development and innovation, are more and more professional in technical service and can manufacure products with all kinds of material,shape and size. Especially in elbows, tee, reducer, flange and pipe cap etc., we have gained more than 20 product patent, and hundreds of technology patent.
