Process PipingProcess piping carries fluids between equipment in refineries, chemical, pharmaceutical and utility plants, designed to ASME B31.3 or similar codes.Pressure VesselsPressure vessels (separators, drums, columns, reactors, receivers) are built from plate, forgings and pipe to ASME VIII, EN 13445 or national codes.Heat ExchangersShell-and-tube heat exchangers transfer heat between process fluids and cooling or heating media.Boilers & SuperheatersBoiler pressure parts (waterwalls, economisers, superheaters, reheaters and headers) see high temperatures and pressures, with creep and oxidation as the main design limits..CondensersSurface condensers in power plants and process units condense exhaust steam using cooling water, which is often seawater or brackish water.ReactorsChemical and hydroprocessing reactors combine pressure, temperature and corrosive or hydrogen-rich environments.Storage TanksAtmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks (API 650 and similar) store crude, products, chemicals, water and food liquids.Oil & Gas PipelinesTransmission, gathering and flow lines carry oil, gas and water over long distances at high pressure.Power Plant PipingPower-plant piping to ASME B31.1 and IBR includes main steam, hot and cold reheat, feedwater and auxiliary systems, each with distinct temperature, pressure and corrosion requirements..Structural FabricationStructural fabrication covers buildings, sheds, pipe racks, platforms, towers and equipment supports, using beams, channels, angles, plates and gratings in structural grades..Industrial MachineryMachinery builders use bars for shafts and components, plates for frames, wear plates for liners, and fasteners throughout, with grades chosen for strength, wear and corrosion..Marine EquipmentMarine equipment such as pumps, valves, shafts, deck machinery and seawater systems needs materials matched to immersion, splash or atmospheric exposure..Pharmaceutical EquipmentPharmaceutical equipment such as reactors, vessels, WFI and clean-steam systems, and process tubing needs cleanable, traceable, corrosion-resistant materials with controlled surface finish..Food Processing EquipmentFood and beverage equipment such as tanks, pasteurisers, conveyors, kitchens and filling lines uses stainless steel for hygiene, and cleanability..Chemical Processing EquipmentColumns, scrubbers, evaporators, agitators and piping in chemical plants must resist the specific acids, alkalis and chlorides they handle, which calls for a material ladder from SS 316L to nickel alloys..Petrochemical EquipmentFurnaces, crackers, reformers, heaters, exchangers and reactors in petrochemical plants face high temperatures, carburisation and hydrogen, which calls for Cr-Mo steels, stabilised stainless steels and Fe-Ni-Cr alloys..
Frequently asked questions
What is an application page?
A material-selection guide for a type of equipment or system, listing grades by service condition.
Which applications are covered?
Process piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, condensers, reactors, storage tanks, pipelines, power-plant piping, structures, machinery, marine, pharmaceutical, food, chemical and petrochemical equipment.
Can you recommend materials for my conditions?
Share temperature, pressure, media and code requirements, and we can suggest suitable grades for your engineer to confirm.
Can't find what you need?
