High-strength corrosion-resistant alloy Pipe Tube for chemical and petrochemical processing
As a leading Chinese Inconel supplier, SEATHER TECHNOLOGY manufactures and supplies high-precision Inconel 601 capillary tubes for demanding industrial applications.
INCONEL® alloy 601 (UNS N06601 / W.Nr. 2.4851) is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy known for its excellent resistance to heat, corrosion, and high-temperature oxidation. These properties make Inconel 601 an ideal material for use in extreme thermal and corrosive environments where dimensional stability and long-term reliability are critical.
Inconel 601 capillary tube is a small-diameter alloy tube with high manufacturing difficulty and strict dimensional requirements. It is produced from Inconel 601 coil tubing, which is straightened, drawn, and precision-polished to achieve tight tolerances and superior surface quality. Due to its compact size and structural accuracy, Inconel 601 capillary tubing is widely used in applications requiring high corrosion resistance and precise internal flow control.
In terms of manufacturing processes, SEATHER TECHNOLOGY can supply both seamless Inconel 601 capillary tubes and welded Inconel 601 capillary tubes, depending on your technical and cost requirements. For surface finishing, we offer MP (Mechanical Polishing), EP (Electropolishing), BA (Bright Annealed), AP (Annealed & Pickled) and other customized treatments to meet different application needs.
The Inconel 601 capillary tubes we produce feature excellent surface appearance, strict dimensional tolerances, and stable delivery conditions, ensuring reliable performance in high-temperature and corrosive service environments.

What is Inconel 601 (UNS N06601)
Alloy 601 also referred to as the UNS N06601 and W.Nr. 2.4851 alloy.
This alloy is a general-purpose engineering material for applications that require resistance to heat and corrosion.
The alloy also has good resistance to aqueous corrosion, has high mechanical strength, and is readily formed, machined and welded.
The composition is a facecentered- cubic solid solution with a high degree of metallurgical stability.
The alloy’s nickel base, in conjunction with substantial chromium content, provides resistance to many corrosive media and hightemperature environments. Oxidation resistance is further enhanced by the aluminum content.
The properties of alloy 601 make it a material of broad utility in such fields as thermal processing, chemical processing, pollution control, aerospace, and power generation.

More Information About Inconel 601 Capillary Tube (UNS N06601)
When you choose to buy Inconel 601 Capillary Tube (UNS N06601), there have some important points we need to know before we get started.
Pitting resistance equivalency numbers (PREN) for Inconel 601 Capillary Tube (UNS N06601)
Inconel 601 PREN: 25
The pitting resistance equivalency number uses the alloy’s chemical makeup to guess its power against pitting corrosion. You check how much chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and nitrogen are in the alloy. These elements help keep the steel safe. The most used formula is:
PREN = CR% + 3.3 x (MO% + 0.5 x W%) + 16 x N% How to Purchase Inconel 601 Capillary Tube
