Packing
Small Diameter Pipes and Tubes:
End treatment: Beveled or plain ends are capped or plugged with plastic protectors.
Bundling: Smaller diameter pipes and tubes are grouped in bundles.
Protection: Bundles are then covered with seaworthy bags to protect against moisture and damage during transport.
Alternative packaging: For specific needs or handling requirements, small-diameter pipes can also be loosely packed in plywood boxes instead of bundled in bags.
Large Diameter Pipes:
End treatment: Similar to small diameters, beveled or plain ends are likely capped or plugged.
Loose packing: Larger diameter pipes are individually packed and not bundled due to their size and weight.
Protection: Each pipe is covered with a seaworthy bag to protect against the elements and potential damage during shipping.
Application
UNS N06600 (Inconel 600):
Chemical Processing: Heat exchangers, reaction vessels, piping, and valves due to their resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including organic and inorganic acids, alkalis, and salts.
Aerospace: Due to its high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, this grade serves as various components in gas turbines, jet engines, and rocket motors.
Nuclear Power: Steam generator tubing, heat exchangers, and other components due to their resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Food Processing: Equipment for handling food products, particularly those with high acidity.
UNS N06601 (Inconel 601):
It has similar applications to UNS N06600 but even better resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization, making it suitable for furnace components and heat-treating equipment.
UNS N06603 (Inconel 603):
It offers exceptional resistance to high-temperature oxidation and creep, making it ideal for gas turbine components, furnace parts, and industrial heating elements.
UNS N06690 (Inconel 690):
Nuclear Power: This is the preferred material for steam generator tubing due to its outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking and intergranular attack.
Chemical Processing: Used in highly corrosive environments where superior resistance to oxidizing acids is required.
UNS N06693 (Inconel 693):
It offers exceptional resistance to molten salt corrosion, making it suitable for applications in molten salt reactors and other high-temperature salt systems.
UNS N06696 (Inconel 696):
It offers excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization, making it suitable for gas turbine components and industrial heating elements.
UNS N06617 (Inconel 617):
High-Temperature Applications: Gas turbine components, heat exchangers, and industrial furnace components due to their excellent creep resistance and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures.
Chemical Processing: Equipment for handling aggressive chemicals due to its good resistance to a wide range of corrosive media.
