You can keep your stainless steel equipment safe from stress corrosion cracking by using smart design tips. SCC can cause expensive problems. It is a big issue in oil and gas. This industry loses about £1.372 billion every year. Cracking like this can make things unsafe. It can also hurt how well things work. Look […]

You see nickel alloy prices change often in the market. Five big things make these prices go up or down. These are US dollar strength, US-China tariffs, market oversupply, Chinese demand, and government policies. Each one affects how the nickel market works. They also change how much you pay for nickel alloys. Check the latest

You use nominal pipe size schedule to describe pipe diameter and wall thickness without relying on exact measurements. ASME B36.10 and ASME B36.19 set standards for pipe size, schedule, and diameter in your projects. When you work with NPS, you ensure that fittings and pipes match correctly. Understanding these terms helps you select the right

Hydrostatic testing makes sure your equipment is strong and safe. You use hydrostatic pressure to look for leaks or weak places. This helps protect you, your job, and people nearby. Hydrostatic testing is used for pipelines, gas cylinders, boilers, and fuel tanks. Safety, following rules, and trust all need regular hydrostatic testing. Key Takeaways Why

You often see different codes when you look at nickel alloys. The unified numbering system (UNS) and W.Nr. help you clearly identify each alloy. These systems give you a simple way to match materials across the world. When you use uns and w.nr., you can pick the right alloy for your project and avoid mistakes

ASTM B166/B168 are rules for Inconel 600 bar and Inconel 600 plate. These rules help you get products that work well and last long. ASTM explains these rules like this: Standard Description ASTM B166-01 Standard Specification for Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloys (UNS N06600…) Rod, Bar, and Wire ASTM B168 Standard Specification for Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloy (UNS N06600) Plate,
