Material Compatibility and Selection Guidelines
Piping Materials Overview
Selecting the correct alloy is critical for longevity and safety. Jan B Tubes offers stainless, nickel-based, and specialty metals matched to process chemistry, temperature, and pressure.
Guidelines for Corrosive Media
For high chloride or sulfide exposure, nickel-alloy tubing such as Hastelloy or Inconel is recommended to prevent pitting and stress corrosion cracking.
Pressure Ratings and Testing Standards
Pressure Containment Design
Each tube set is designed to exceed named pressure ratings with a safety factor, validated through burst and cyclic testing per recognized industry standards.
Test Procedures
Hydrostatic tests at 150% of maximum working pressure confirm leak-tight integrity, while non-destructive examination ensures weld quality and dimensional compliance.
Installation and Handling Best Practices
Pre-Installation Checks
Inspect for surface defects, verify dimensional clearances, and confirm compatibility with adjacent components before system assembly.
Handling and Storage
Store tubing in a clean, dry area with controlled humidity to avoid surface contamination and minimize the risk of corrosion before installation.
Operational Efficiency and System Longevity
- Verify fluid compatibility using detailed material data sheets before finalizing selection.
- Follow recommended installation torque and sequence to avoid overstress on fittings and tubing.
- Implement periodic inspection intervals to detect wear, corrosion, or fatigue at critical points.
- Maintain records of test reports and maintenance logs for compliance and lifecycle planning.
- Engage application specialists early for complex systems to optimize routing and supportability.
