Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel Coiled Tubing Hydraulic Control Line UNS S32205

Duplex 2205 UNS S32205 Coiled Tubing Hydraulic Control line Capillary Tubing

Meilong Tube supplies a whole range of coiled tubing products to the oil and gas sector, and it’s one of our most important markets. You’ll find our high performance tubes successfully used in some of the most aggressive subsea and downhole conditions thanks to our proven track record in meeting the strict quality requirements of the oil, gas and geothermal energy industries.

Improving technology has extended the range of ways in which oil and gas fields can be exploited, and increasingly projects require the use of long, continuous lengths of stainless steel control lines. These are employed in a variety of applications including hydraulic controls, instrumentation, chemical injection, umbilicals and flowline control. Meilong Tube supplies products for all of these applications, and more, lowering operating costs and improved recovery methods for our customers.

Thanks to advances in tubular control line technologies, it is now cheaper and easier to connect downhole valves and chemical injection systems with remote and satellite wells, for both fixed and floating central platforms. We offer coiled tubing for control lines in stainless steel and nickel alloys.

Typical Size of Coiled Tubing

Outside diameter of coiled tubing control lines is mainly 1/4'' (6.35), 3/8’’ (9.53mm).

Wall thicknesses: 0.035’’ (0.89mm), 0.049’’ (1.24mm), 0.065’’ (1.65mm), 0.083'' (2.11mm)

Control line tubing is available in lengths from 400 feet (122 meters) to 32,808 feet (10,000 meters). No orbitally butt welds.

Other specifications (1/8’’ to 3/4’’) are available on request.

Importance of Coiled Tubing

Each one tubing coil is a completely continuous length without orbital welds.

Each one tubing coil is hydrostatic tested at minimum 11,600 psi.

The test can be witnessed on site by the third party inspectors (SGS, BV, DNV).

Other tests are eddy current test, chemicals, flattening, flaring, tensile, yield, elongation, hardness for the material quality.

Description for Coiled Tubing Control Line

Meilong Tube's downhole control lines are used primarily as communication conduits for hydraulically operated downhole devices in oil, gas, and water-injection wells, where durability and resistance to extreme harsh conditions are required. These lines can be custom configured for a variety of applications and downhole components.

Duplex 2205 for Coiled Tubing Hydraulic Control Line

Standard Equivalence

Duplex 2205 is a nitrogen enhanced duplex stainless steel that was developed to combat common corrosion problems encountered with the 300 series stainless steels. “Duplex” describes a family of stainless steels that are neither fully austenitic, like SS304 stainless, nor purely ferritic, like SS430 stainless. The structure of 2205 duplex stainless steel consists of austenite pools surrounded by a continuous ferrite phase. In the annealed condition, Duplex 2205 contains approximately 40-50% ferrite. Often referred to as the work horse grade, Duplex 2205 is the most widely used grade in the duplex family of stainless steels.

The advantage of a duplex structure is that it combines the favorable qualities of a ferritic alloy (stress corrosion cracking resistance and high strength) with those of an austenitic alloy (ease of fabrication and corrosion resistance).

Usage of 2205 Duplex stainless steel should be limited to temperatures below 600° F. Extended elevated temperature exposure can embrittle Duplex 2205 stainless steel.

Corrosion Resistance of Duplex 2205 Coiled Tubing Control Line

2205 duplex stainless steel is a cost effective solution for many applications where the 300 series stainless steels are susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Stress corrosion cracking occurs when stainless steels are subjected to tensile stress, while in contact with solutions containing chlorides. Increasing temperatures also increase the susceptibility of stainless steels to stress corrosion cracking.

The combination of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen convey the good resistance of 2205 to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. This resistance is extremely important for services such as marine environments, brackish water, bleaching operations, closed loop water systems and some food processing applications. The high chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents of 2205 provide corrosion resistance superior to common stainless steels, such as, SS316L and SS317L in most environments.
