Inconel Instrumentation Fittings

Inconel Instrumentation Fittings are special fittings used where materials of higher performance are needed due to the use of corrosive substances, high temperatures and mechanical stresses. They offer excellent mechanical properties and rigidity in harsh conditions, thus being ideal for instrumentation applications where precision is required. These Inconel Instrumentation Fittings are suitable for use in oxidising as well as in reducing environments for extended periods.

Features of Inconel Instrumentation Fittings

Inconel Instrumentation Fittings have several features that can be used for the following applications. Here are some key features:

• High Corrosion Resistance: Inconel instrumentation fittings do not corrode in highly corrosive marine, acidic and alkaline environments.
• Temperature Stability: These fittings do not weaken or become brittle even in high or low temperatures, so they can be used in areas with high or low temperatures.
• Oxidation Resistance: Inconel has high oxidation characteristics, making it suitable for high-temperature processes. The equipment and instrumentation fittings used are likely to have a longer life.
• High Strength: The Inconel fittings have high tensile strength and can withstand high pressure in different fields.
• Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance: The fittings do not suffer stress corrosion cracking when exposed to chloride ions, making them stronger than the others.
• Durability and Longevity: The instrumentation fittings are longer used, which reduces the costs of maintenance and replacement in areas where Inconel is necessary.
• Non-magnetic: Inconel is non-magnetic, and fittings are perfect where little or no magnetic field would be desirable.

These characteristics make the Inconel instrumentation fittings suitable for use under severe conditions.

Applications of Inconel Instrumentation Fittings

Inconel Instrumentation Fittings are widely used in many fields. Some common applications include:

• Oil and Gas Industry: Inconel fittings are used in offshore drilling, subsea pipelines and natural gas processing. 
• Chemical and Petrochemical Processing: These fittings are used in systems that transport aggressive products such as chemicals, acids and alkalis. They are ideal for use in reactors, heat exchangers, and units used in acid production.
• Aerospace and Aviation: Inconel instrumentation fittings can be applied in jet engines, exhaust systems, turbine parts, aircraft fuel and hydraulic systems.
• Power Generation: Inconel fittings are used in turbines, steam generators and heat recovery systems of power plants, including nuclear and thermal. 
• Marine Industry: These fittings are used in marine applications such as ships, water desalination plants and offshore construction.
• Cryogenic Applications: The material is highly strong at very low temperatures and can thus be used in cryogenic systems for the storage and transport of liquefied natural gases and other cryogenic fluids.
• Pharmaceutical and Food Processing: The fittings are used in systems that should be clean and sterile and require high purity. They are suitable for long-term use in sanitary systems where cleaning agents or chemical processing may be used.

These applications complement the current applications, making them a material of choice in sensitive and high-value applications.
