We offer ASTM B163 UNS N06600 ASME SB163 600 nickel alloy seamless tubes for use in the condenser and heat-exchanger service, B163 UNS N06600 is an Inconel alloy with high nickel content (72% min), which makes seamless tubes exhibit excellent ductility and toughness and have outstanding resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. ASTM B163 is the ASTM standard for Inconel 600 tubes, 600 tubes are widely used in the chemical and nuclear power fields and can be used to manufacture equipment such as reactors, heat exchangers, distillation towers and pipes. In addition to chemical and nuclear applications, Alloy 600 nickel alloys are widely used in aerospace applications.
The sizes covered by ASTM B163 specification are 3 in. (76.2 mm) and under in outside diameter with minimum wall thicknesses of 0.148 in. (3.76 mm) and under, and with average wall thicknesses of 0.165 in. (4.19 mm) and under. small diameter and light wall tube (converter sizes) are defined. ASTM B163/ASME SB163 600 U bent tubes are offered in accordance with the requirements of the specification.
