Stainless Steel Round Tube/Seamless Coil Tubing
Application and characterization in the oil and geothermal industries
Stainless steel inherently has excellent chemical and electrochemical resistance, allowing these tubes to be used for long periods of time in environments containing corrosive chemicals.
Stainless Steel Round Tube and Seamless Coil Tubing are two critical materials in the oil and geothermal industry. Understanding the meaning, properties and applications of these products is important for customers to select the right material and technical solution.
Meaning：
Stainless steel round tube is a round cross-section tube made from stainless steel material, which can be manufactured either by welding or seamless.
Seamless coiled tubing is a type of stainless steel round tubing, which is a continuous length of tubing without welded seams manufactured directly from a solid stainless steel billet through a process of extrusion and stretching.
Characteristics：
Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel inherently has excellent chemical and electrochemical resistance, allowing these tubes to be used for long periods of time in environments containing corrosive chemicals.
High strength and heat resistance: Stainless steel round and seamless coiled tubes maintain good strength and toughness at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for high-temperature applications in the oil and geothermal industries.
Advantages of seamless construction: Seamless coils are able to withstand higher pressures and more complex stress states due to the absence of welded seams, ensuring the safety of fluid transmission.
Easy to clean and maintain: Smooth internal and external surfaces make stainless steel tubing easy to clean and maintain, reducing the accumulation of deposits and the formation of biofilms.
Application Areas：
Oil and gas exploration and production: used in oil and gas drilling, well completion, oil recovery and injection operations, as oil and gas transmission, fluid injection or as control and chemical injection lines.
Geothermal energy development: in the construction of geothermal wells, including extraction and re-injection lines for geothermal water, and as heat exchanger components in geothermal energy conversion systems.
Chemical and petrochemical industry: as corrosion-resistant fluid transportation piping in chemical plants and refineries, and as part of process plants.
Marine and Ship Engineering: used in desalination, ship fuel and water systems, as well as in structures and pipelines for offshore platforms, capable of resisting corrosion from seawater.
Food and beverage industry: stainless steel round tubes and seamless coiled tubes are widely used in food processing, beverage production and conveyor systems in the dairy industry due to their excellent hygienic properties.
