Tuff is a major player in manufacturing and supplying seamless carbon steel pipes, welded pipes, steam pipes, pipe fittings. Stainless steel pipes- It is available in a variety of compositions, most popular of which are ASTM-A-213, Grade TD-321. (16% Cr, 8%N stabilized with titanium) and ASTM-A-213 Grade TD-347 (18% Cr, 8% Ni) stabilized with columbium. Either of these two may be used upt to 649oC. Care must be given to choice of welding rold to avoid brittleness in the welds. Seamless carbon steel
pipes - A heated billet is brought
into contact with tapered revolving rolls in such a way that the billed is
pulled into the space allowed between the rolls. The mandrel is placed in
the space. The soft centre of the billet makes it possible for the rolls
to draw the billet over the mandrel, producing a hollow shell. When the
billet has entirely passed over the mandrel, it is in the form of a thick
walled seamless tube. ERW - For pipes or tubes size 4 inch
(10.2mm) OD and below, strip is fed into a set of forming rolls which
consists of horizontal and vertical rollers so placed as to gradually from
the flat strip in to a tube which is then allowed to pass the welding
electrodes. The electrodes are copper disks connected to the secondary of
a revolving transformer assembly. CARBON MOLLY STEEL - This is one type of alloy steel as per A-204 (EFW), A-335(Seamless, A-309) etc. was developed in past years when steam temp. were approaching but not reaching 538oC under which conditions carbon steel was both unsatifactory and economical. It has been found that there is a tendency for carbon molybdenum to show graphitization at temperatures in excess of 427oC. It is used in welded construction. CARBON STEEL - Most frequently used as manufactured in area with ASTM specifications A-106 & A-S3. The chemical compositions of these two materials is identical, both are subjected to physical test, but those for A-106 are more rigorous. A-106 are made in grade A & B. Grade B has higher strength properties but is less ductile and for this reason Grade A is permitted only for cold or close coiling. Wehn carbon steel is intended for use in welded construction at temperatures in excess of 427oC and its use in welded construction above this value should be with caution.
