PRODUCT OVERVIEW
About Inconel 600 Pipe and Tube
Inconel 600 Pipe and Tube is supplied in UNS N06600, a nickel-chromium-iron alloy built for oxidation and caustic duty. Meanwhile, chloride stress-corrosion cracking stays off the risk list in furnace and alkaline service. Each length is quoted from B167, B163, B517, or B516.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Key Features of Inconel 600 Pipe and Tube
Southerly Alloy supplies UNS N06600 seamless pipe and tube to ASTM B167 and B163, with welded pipe to B517 and welded tube to B516 quoted against schedule or drawing. Sizes run from precision instrumentation tube to large-diameter furnace piping, delivered annealed or as-worked. EN 10204 3.1 certificates and heat-level traceability support furnace builders, caustic processors, and nuclear review.
Inconel 600
