Processing Piping( Chemical Plans Pipes| Industrial Piping for Chemical industry)
1) Overview
Chemical Plant Pipes are critical piping solutions designed for chemical production facilities, process pipelines, and corrosive service environments. They are mainly used for the transportation of acids, alkalis, salt solutions, corrosive gases, and high-temperature/high-pressure media.
The product range covers carbon steel pipes, alloy steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, nickel alloy pipes, and lined composite pipes. All pipes comply with ASME, ASTM, API, GB/T, DIN international standards, and offer excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature and pressure tolerance, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy. They are widely applied in reactors, distillation columns, heat exchangers, process piping networks, and pressure vessels, ensuring the safety and reliability of chemical plants.
