ASTM B163 UNS N06600 tube,Inconel 600 alloy seamless condenser heat exchanger tubes
Inconel® 600 Seamless Tube for Heat Exchangers & Condensers
High-Temperature & Corrosion-Resistant Nickel Alloy Tubing
ASTM B163 UNS N06600 tubes, commonly known as Inconel 600 tubes, are seamless nickel-chromium-iron alloy tubes designed for heat exchanger, condenser, and general corrosion-resistant service. With excellent resistance to oxidation, carburization, and chloride stress corrosion cracking, Inconel 600 tubing is widely used in chemical processing, power generation, petrochemical, and nuclear industries.
What Is ASTM B163?
ASTM B163 is the standard specification for seamless nickel and nickel alloy condenser and heat exchanger tubes. The standard defines requirements for:
-
Chemical composition
-
Mechanical properties
-
Manufacturing process
-
Dimensional tolerances
-
Testing and inspection
ASTM B163 ensures the quality and reliability of Inconel 600 seamless tubes for thermal and corrosive service environments.
We offer a wide range of inconel tubes, which is impeccably designed to meet with various industrial functions. These inconel tubes are offered by us in a variety of sizes and are offered at industry leading prices. We also meet customized requirement for our clients benefit.

The high nickel content of alloy 600 2.4816 provide good resistance to moderate levels of reducing conditions. The nickel content of the alloy renders the alloy extremely resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 600 is one alloy used in solutions of magnesium chloride. In strong oxidizing solutions like hot, concentrated nitric acid, Alloy 600 has poor resistance.
ASTM B163 B167 ASME SB163 SB167 N06600 resists steam and mixtures of steam, air, and carbon dioxide.
The nickel content of the alloy renders it subject to attack at elevated temperatures in sulfur-containing atmospheres.
ASTM B163 B167 ASME SB163 SB167 N06600 Application:
1. Erosion thermocouple sheath of the atmosphere
2.Vinyl chloride monomer production: corrosion resistance to chlorine, hydrogen chloride, oxidation and carbonation.
3. Oxide shaft chloride converted to six fluoride: hydrogen fluoride anti-corrosion.
4. Corrosive alkali metal produce and usage filed, especially the sulfide use environment.
5. Use Chlorine produce titanium dioxide
6. Organic or inorganic chlorine produce: corrosion resistance to chlorine and fluoride.
7. Nuclear reactor
8. Heat treatment furnace flask and components, especially in the carbonization and nitride atmosphere.
9. Petrochemical works production of catalytic regeneration in the application of more than 700℃ recommended the use of 600, in order to obtain a longer service life.
