Inconel 718 Pipe Fittings About
718 Inconel Pipe Fittings are made of a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy that contains high levels of chromium and nickel for increased temperature strength and durability. The chemical composition of this alloy is composed primarily of iron,
nickel, chromium, carbon,
manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon to produce superior corrosion resistance and engineered properties for improved performance and long-term use. This valuable combination increases the strength of Inconel 718 Pipe Fittings and allows them to maintain mechanical stability even in highly corrosive or extreme temperature environments.
Exceptional Performance in Demanding ConditionsConstructed from Inconel 718, these pipe fittings exhibit remarkable strength and stability even at temperatures up to 700C (1290F). Their corrosion resistance-including pitting, crevice, and intergranular forms-makes them ideal for highly corrosive or high-pressure environments like oil & gas, marine, and power generation industries.
Versatile Design and Precise ManufacturingAvailable in a variety of shapes such as tees, elbows, reducers, and couplings, Inconel 718 pipe fittings accommodate complex piping systems. With options for buttweld, socket weld, threaded, seamless, and welded types, plus thickness choices from 1mm to 50mm, manufacturers ensure precise fit and compatibility, adhering to ASME/ANSI standards or custom specifications.
