ASTM B163/ASME SB163 UNS N08825 825 Seamless Nickel Alloy Tubes

ASTM B163 UNS N08825 825 Seamless Nickel Alloy Condenser And Heat-Exchanger Tubes
ASTM B163 UNS N08825 825 Seamless Nickel Alloy Tubes

We offer ASTM B163/ASME SB163 UNS N08825 825 nickel alloy seamless tubes for use in the condenser and heat-exchanger service, ASTM B163 UNS N08825 Nickel alloy seamless tubes have excellent corrosion resistance and high temperatures. B163 UNS N08825 Seamless Nickel Tubing is manufactured according to ASTM standard in cold rolled and drawing in seamless process, finished in bright annealed (BA) condition. The nickel alloy tubes are uniform in quality and temper, smooth, commercially straight, and free of injurious imperfections.

The sizes of ASTM B163/ASME SB163 UNS N08825 825 nickel alloy seamless tubes are 3 in. (76.2 mm) and under in outside diameter with minimum wall thicknesses of 0.148 in. (3.76 mm) and under, and with average wall thicknesses of 0.165 in. (4.19 mm) and under. small diameter and light wall tube (converter sizes) are defined. ASTM B163/ASME SB163 U bent tubes are offered in accordance with the requirements of the specification.
