Seamless Pipe (ASTM B444)
Hot-extruded and cold-sunk Inconel 625 product for high-pressure and sour service.
Request Availability →UNS N06625 seamless and welded product to ASTM B444, B705, and B704 for downhole, seawater, heat-exchanger, and flue-gas duty.
Seamless and welded product to ASTM B444, B705, and B704 quoted from one inquiry.
NACE MR0175 aligned supply with chemistry and hardness records for downhole review.
Grade 1 and Grade 2 deliveries matched to strength-led or creep-led service before production.
Inconel 625 pipe and tube is supplied in UNS N06625 / Werkstoff 2.4856, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-niobium grade strengthened by solid-solution hardening. Seamless runs to ASTM B444, welded pipe to B705, and welded tube to B704. As a result, duty spans sour-gas tubing, seawater lines, and scrubbers.
Buyers normally arrive here after comparing Grade 1 against Grade 2 for the service temperature. The full chemistry, standards, and grade logic sit on the Inconel 625 material page, while bar and rod and plate and sheet supply are covered on their own form pages.
UNS N06625 seamless pipe and tube is supplied to ASTM B444 / ASME SB444, welded pipe to ASTM B705, and welded tube to ASTM B704. Sizes run from exchanger tubing to large FGD pipe, with both grades and EN 10204 3.1 certificates. NACE MR0175 aligned documentation supports downhole and sour-gas review, with seamless, welded, and fitting supply quoted from one inquiry.
Extruded seamless product and GTAW-welded tube are quoted under the same specification review.
Chemistry and hardness control support NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 qualification for downhole service.
Pitting and crevice resistance holds through chlorinated, stagnant, and low-flow seawater duty.
Welded FGD pipe and aerospace ducting keep their properties toward 980 °C.
Annealed and solution-annealed conditions are selected against service temperature, not habit.
Spool welding and field butt welds proceed without preheat or mandatory post-weld treatment.
Heat-exchanger tube is tested to the agreed acceptance level before packing.
Ordering pipe through Southerly Alloy puts the specification check before the quotation. Standard, grade, size, and testing are confirmed against your line conditions first. Then, production runs with the partner mill responsible for melting and forming, and the certificate names the producing heat.
Service temperature, medium, and code jurisdiction decide seamless versus welded before price does.
Every length carries heat-number documentation back through the producing plant.
Eddy current, hydrostatic, UT, and PMI are scoped to the purchase line, not sold as extras.
Bundling, beveling, and shipping documents are prepared for site delivery schedules.
Seamless and welded routes run separately, and the route is fixed by the ordered standard. Above all, B444 product is never substituted with welded stock. Then, each stage is inspected, and the final release matches the purchase specification with full heat traceability.
Barstock billets for seamless runs and matched UNS N06625 strip for welded runs are verified against the required chemistry.
Heated billets are pierced and extruded to hollows for seamless pipe and tube.
Hollows are sunk or rolled to the ordered OD and wall with intermediate anneals.
Strip is roll-formed and GTAW welded for B704 tube and B705 pipe, with the weld bead processed as specified.
Grade 1 annealing and Grade 2 solution annealing are run to the temperature minimums of the ordered grade.
Scale removal, sizing, and cutting deliver the specified surface and end condition.
Hydrostatic, eddy-current, tensile, and hardness checks are completed before documentation is issued.
Inconel 625 pipe and tube supply covers heat-exchanger tube, seamless line pipe, and large-diameter welded pipe. In addition, Grade 1 and Grade 2 conditions are both carried. Finally, wall thickness, end finish, and length are confirmed against the purchase order before production is scheduled.
Partner workshops for extrusion, forming, and finishing under coordinated scheduling.
Piercing, rolling, welding, and straightening equipment across the tube routes.
Nickel alloy tubular product across standard and custom dimensions.
Specification, welding, and inspection support from inquiry to release.
Every Inconel 625 pipe and tube lot is released against the ordered standard. Chemistry, mechanicals, dimensions, and non-destructive testing are checked under the ISO 9001 quality system. EN 10204 3.1 documentation is standard, with sour-service records compiled where the project requires them.
Spectrometer results are checked against the UNS N06625 window before any length is cut.
Tensile, yield, elongation, and hardness confirm the ordered grade condition.
Eddy current, hydrostatic, and UT testing are run to the acceptance level written in the order.
EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates with heat-number traceability on every shipment.
Inconel 625 tubular supply is split by manufacturing route, and each route carries its own ASTM specification and size window.

The chemistry window below is common to B444, B705, and B704 product for UNS N06625. However, the governing purchase specification takes precedence for acceptance.

Minimum room-temperature tensile values are identical across the three tubular standards at each grade. First, Grade 1 is annealed at 871 °C (1600 °F) minimum. By contrast, Grade 2 is solution annealed at 1093 °C (2000 °F) minimum for creep-limited duty.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seamless pipe and tube | ASTM B444 | Grade 1 | ≥827 MPa (120 ksi) | ≥414 MPa (60 ksi) | ≥30% |
| Seamless pipe and tube | ASTM B444 | Grade 2 | ≥690 MPa (100 ksi) | ≥276 MPa (40 ksi) | ≥30% |
| Welded pipe | ASTM B705 | Grade 1 | ≥827 MPa (120 ksi) | ≥414 MPa (60 ksi) | ≥30% |
| Welded pipe | ASTM B705 | Grade 2 | ≥690 MPa (100 ksi) | ≥276 MPa (40 ksi) | ≥30% |
| Welded tube | ASTM B704 | Grade 1 | ≥827 MPa (120 ksi) | ≥414 MPa (60 ksi) | ≥30% |
| Welded tube | ASTM B704 | Grade 2 | ≥690 MPa (100 ksi) | ≥276 MPa (40 ksi) | ≥30% |
Grade 2 carries lower room-temperature minimums because the higher solution-annealing temperature coarsens the grain in exchange for creep resistance. The ordered grade and standard govern final acceptance.

ASTM B444 covers seamless pipe and tube, B705 welded pipe, and B704 welded tube. In other words, the three are not interchangeable — the route is fixed by the ordered standard.
Grade 1 is annealed at 871 °C (1600 °F) minimum and carries higher room-temperature minimums. By contrast, Grade 2 is solution annealed at 1093 °C (2000 °F) minimum for creep-limited service above about 593 °C.
Yes. The grade chemistry supports NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 qualification. As a result, sour-service orders receive chemistry, hardness, and traceability records compiled for review.
Yes. Spool and butt welds use ERNiCrMo-3 filler without preheat. Moreover, post-weld heat treatment is generally not required for the grade.
Inconel 625 pipe is typically priced by weight (kg). The final price depends on the nickel surcharge, pipe dimensions, manufacturing route, testing scope, quantity, and required delivery terms. The applicable Incoterm is stated on every quotation.
Single-length orders are available for stocked OD and wall combinations.
FOB is quoted as standard, with EXW, CIF, and DAP available against confirmed destinations.
Stocked sizes ship in 7-15 days. Meanwhile, production lengths are scheduled against mill availability.
Yes — 3.1 mill test certificates are standard on every delivery. Moreover, 3.2 certification with third-party endorsement can be arranged on request.
Send the OD, wall or schedule, standard, grade, and length. In return, the quotation comes back with route, testing scope, Incoterm, and lead time. Additionally, line-condition details such as medium and temperature can be attached for grade confirmation.
