Delivery Conditions

The tubes shall be manufactured from cold drawn or cold rolled processes. The tubes shall be supplied in one of the delivery conditions as follows:

Designation Symbol Description
Cold finished (hard) BK Tubes do not undergo heat treatment following the final cold forming and thus, have a rather high resistance to deformation.
Cold finished (soft) BKW The final heat treatment is followed by cold drawing involving limited deformation. Appropriate further processing allows a certain degree of cold forming (e.g. bending, expanding).
Cold finished and stress-relieved BKS Heat treatment is applied following the last cold forming process. Subject to appropriate processing conditions, the increase in the residual stresses involved enables both forming and machining to a certain degree.
Annealed GBK The last cold forming process is followed by annealing in a controlled atmosphere.
Normalized NBK The last cold forming process is followed by annealing above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere.

Delivery Condition Symbol in accordance with EN10305 and DIN2391.

Alloy Steel Pipe Applications

Applications of Alloy Steel Pipes

Alloy steel pipes are widely used in high-temperature, high-pressure and corrosive service environments where conventional carbon steel pipes cannot provide sufficient mechanical strength or long-term reliability.

Manufactured from premium alloy steels containing chromium, molybdenum, nickel and other alloying elements, these pipes provide excellent resistance to heat, pressure, oxidation and corrosion, making them ideal for demanding industrial processes.

Typical Applications

  • Power generation plants
  • Boilers and superheaters
  • Steam piping systems
  • Heat exchangers
  • Petrochemical facilities
  • Oil & gas processing
  • Chemical plants
  • Refineries
  • Fertilizer production
  • Nuclear power stations

Why Choose Alloy Steel Pipes?

Alloy steel pipes offer superior performance under severe operating conditions. Their enhanced mechanical properties provide excellent resistance to elevated temperatures, internal pressure, corrosion and long-term creep deformation.

  • Excellent high-temperature strength
  • Outstanding pressure resistance
  • Superior corrosion resistance
  • Improved oxidation resistance
  • Long service life
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Good weldability
  • 100% recyclable material

Typical Service Conditions

Alloy steel pipes are selected for critical applications where operating temperatures, pressures or corrosive media exceed the capabilities of carbon steel.

Service Condition Typical Application
High Temperature Boilers, superheaters, steam headers
Low Temperature Cryogenic processing systems
High Pressure Power generation and process piping
Corrosive Media Chemical and petrochemical plants
Long-Term Creep Service Thermal power stations

Delivery

Steel pipe delivery status(condition)

Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).

Condition on delivery of steel pipe

Term Symbol Explanation
Cold-finished/hard (cold-finished as-drawn) BK No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes therefore have only low deformability.
Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked) BKW After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing). With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits.
Annealed GBK After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.
Normalized NBK The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

The general cold strip mills, volume should go through continuous annealing (CAPL unit) to eliminate cold hardening and rolling stress, or batch annealing reach the mechanical properties of the corresponding standard specifies. Cold rolled steel surface quality, appearance, dimensional accuracy better than hot-rolled plate, and right-rolled thin product thickness is about 0.18mm, so the majority of users favor.

Cold rolled steel coil substrate products deep processing of high value-added products. Such as electro-galvanized, hot dip galvanized, electro-galvanized fingerprint resistant, painted steel roll damping composite steel, PVC laminating steel plates, etc., so that the excellent quality of these products has a beautiful, high resistance to corrosion, has been widely used.

Cold rolled steel coil finishing after annealing, cut the head, tail, trimming, flattening, smooth, heavy volume, or longitudinal clipboard. Cold-rolled products are widely used in automobile manufacturing, household electrical appliances, instruments, switches, buildings, office furniture and other industries. Steel plate strapping package weight of 3 to 5 tons. Flat sub-volume typically 3 to 10 tons / volume. Coil diameter 6m.

Packing

Bare packing/bundle packing/crate packing/wooden protection at the both sides of tubes and suitably protected for seaworthy delivery or as requested.
