Steampiping material

Steel pipes for steam systems are commonly manufactured from carbon steel ASTM A106. also used for condensate lines.For high temperature superheated steam mains, additional alloying elements, such as chromium and molybdenum, are included to improve tensile strength and creep resistance at high temperatures.

We stock ASTM A 106 Gr B pipe for steam system and alloy steel steam pipe.More details information about steam steel pipes is given at LINKUN.or eamil linkun@lksteelpipe.com

Steam systems are actually split into two systems.The steam system transports steam (water vapor) from the boiler to an energy-using device of some sort.  As the steam’s energy is used up, the steam condenses and is returned to the boiler as water in what is called the condensate system. The steam side of the system is really a piping system for a gas.  However, because the gas is very close to its condensation point, there will be some liquid in the system as well.  In addition, the water (feedwater) used to make steam contains several other gasses (e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide). Finally, air enters steam systems from time to time.  Because of these factors, a steam system must be designed to circulate steam and deal with condensate, other gasses, and the acids created when gasses combine with water.

Carbon steel pipe is the most common material used in commercial mechanical systems. High strength, good ductility, low cost and adaptability for most joining methods make steel pipe ideal for transporting liquid, and vapor.It is available in a wide range of sizes and lengths. Its high tensile strength and internal pressure ratings make it ideal for even the highest pressure steam systems.
