Inconel 600 Pipe & Tubing Standards and Specifications
Inconel 600 Pipe & Tubing Standards and Specifications
Inconel 600 (UNS N06600) tubing and piping standards are established by ASTM (e.g., B163, B167 for tubing; B166 for bar/rod) and AMS (e.g., AMS 5540, 5665). This alloy contains a high percentage of nickel (minimum 72%) and chromium (14-17%), offering excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking. The material is available in seamless and welded forms, in various sizes (e.g., Sch 5 to XXS) and surface finishes, suitable for applications in aerospace, chemical processing, and nuclear industries. Key specifications include specified tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, ensuring superior performance even under extreme high or low temperatures.
What are the material specifications for Inconel 600?
Inconel 600 – Physical and Mechanical Properties
Density: 8.42 g/cm³. Melting range: 1354-1413 °C. Specific heat capacity: 444 J/kg·°C. Electrical resistivity at 21 °C: 1.03 μΩ·m.
Inconel 600 alloy tubing is suitable for high-temperature environments up to 2000°F as well as cryogenic applications. This material offers excellent weldability and high corrosion resistance, along with good resistance to carburization and oxidation. Gnee Steel is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of Inconel 600 alloy tubing products.
These pipes conform to ASTM B167, B829, and B517 specifications. Pipe sizes vary according to ASTM, ASME, and API standards. Inconel 600 seamless pipes have a diameter range of 4 mm to 219 mm, while welded and electric fusion welded pipes have a diameter range of 5 mm to 1219.2 mm, with wall thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 20 mm. Alloy 600 seamless pipes are produced using a cold rolling process, resulting in lower surface roughness and higher dimensional accuracy. These pipes are suitable for instrumentation applications. They are particularly suitable for large-diameter piping.
