Silicon Carbide Pipe – High Durability Solution for Industrial Piping
Silicon Carbide Pipe is an industrial piping solution with outstanding performance capabilities that can withstand harsh chemical environments and extreme temperatures, as well as longer service lives resulting in reduced maintenance costs and enhanced efficiency. It can even handle harsh chemical environments without suffering damage to its coating surface.
we provide sintered alpha silicon carbide (SiC) protection tubes to the non-ferrous metal tempering industry for non-ferrous tempering furnaces, intermediate frequency casting furnaces, various heat treatment electric furnaces, metallurgy and chemical industries. Their capabilities include excellent normal temperature strength and hardness as well as good flexural resistance, strong acid corrosion protection, high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of expansion.
High Resistance to Corrosion
Silicon Carbide boasts exceptional corrosion resistance, making it the ideal material for industrial pipes exposed to harsh chemicals. This material’s ability to resist oxide formation on its surface helps inhibit chemical reactions while still allowing oxygen access for reactants, and it is capable of withstanding high temperatures to protect ceramic lining from damage.
This protective layer works to reduce corrosion rates and extend service life of pipes, thus decreasing maintenance costs, downtime, improving efficiency and overall operating costs.
we provide a selection of silicon carbide lined pipes suitable for many applications and environments, including sintered, reaction bonded and recrystallized types. Each has different properties including mechanical strength and oxidation resistance; sintered types have course grain structures with lower hardness ratings than the reaction bonded and recrystallized varieties. Each comes in various diameters and lengths to meet your unique requirements.
High Thermal Conductivity
Piping systems are essential components of industrial processing plants, connecting core components and facilitating material and energy flow. Piping must withstand extreme conditions including wear and tear, chemical corrosion and extreme temperatures – such as high wear wear.
Ceramic lined pipes offer excellent durability due to their resistance against abrasion, wear and chemical corrosion.
These materials feature high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficients, making them suitable for applications where high temperatures are prevalent such as chemical processing.
Ceramic-lined pipes are also designed with sustainability in mind; their long lifespan reduces maintenance and repair needs, contributing to wider environmental goals.
High Strength
Silicon Carbide ceramic is one of the hardest materials available, offering exceptional abrasion resistance as well as resistance against chemical corrosion caused by acids and alkalis. Furthermore, silicon Carbide demonstrates excellent tensile strength and fracture resistance properties.
Silicon carbide lined pipes have become ubiquitous in industry. Their use includes transporting corrosive chemicals in mining, power generation, metallurgy and chemical processing applications as well as for transport of abrasive slurries and abrasives in mining operations, power generation facilities and chemical processing plants.
Comparable to standard steel pipes, Kerui silicon carbide tubes are much more resilient and can withstand high temperatures for extended periods. Furthermore, they’re gas-impermeable and exhibit good oxidation resistance – qualities which have made them popular as shelf supports in tunnel and shuttle kilns as well as chemical building material industries and papermaking facilities. They make great general high-temperature industrial piping systems thanks to their superior thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
High Wear Resistance
Industrial equipment can often be exposed to severe strain in the form of wear and tear, chemical corrosion and high temperatures. SiC lining pipes are ideal for transporting materials with high levels of abrasivity and corrosion, helping reduce operational costs and maintenance downtime due to damage from wear-and-tear. Our SiC pipes can be found in mining and mineral processing facilities, power generation (ash handling systems) as well as fuel cell production plants to transfer superheated gases.
Sintered silicon carbide boasts a Mohs hardness of 9.09.2, comparable to diamond in terms of toughness. Furthermore, its resilience against acids, alkalis and solvents – including strong oxidizing media like nitric acid – make it ideal for chemical processing applications. Furthermore, its low thermal expansion coefficient ensures superior temperature stability – perfect for components used in 3D printing, ballistics or any other demanding applications.
