Aerospace Industries

Kamal Steels supplies stainless steel, nickel alloy, Monel and Inconel pipes and tubes for selected aerospace, aviation, hydraulic, fuel, heat-transfer and engineering applications. We provide pipes and tubes in applicable grades, sizes and specifications for projects where corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, temperature resistance and dimensional requirements are important.

Aerospace and aviation systems can involve pressure variations, vibration, temperature changes, corrosive fluids and demanding dimensional requirements. Material selection therefore depends on the specific service conditions, operating temperature, pressure, fluid chemistry, required mechanical properties and applicable specifications.

Kamal Steels supplies pipes and tubes manufactured to applicable ASTM, ASME, DIN and EN standards, with material documentation and third-party inspection support available for eligible requirements. Product suitability should be confirmed against the project specification and service conditions.

What Pipes and Tubes Are Supplied for Aerospace Applications?

Which ASTM Standards Are Relevant to These Products?

The applicable ASTM standard depends on the material, product form and intended service. The standards below are commonly relevant to the types of stainless steel, duplex and nickel alloy pipes and tubes supplied by Kamal Steels. Aerospace projects can also specify additional requirements beyond the base ASTM product standard.

ASTM Standards Product Scope
ASTM A269 Seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel tubing for general corrosion-resisting and low- or high-temperature service
ASTM A213 Seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater and heat-exchanger tubes
ASTM A312 Seamless, welded and heavily cold-worked austenitic stainless steel pipe for specified services
ASTM A789 Seamless and welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel tubing for general corrosion-resisting service
ASTM A790 Seamless and welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel pipe
ASTM B163 Seamless nickel and nickel-alloy condenser and heat-exchanger tubes for applicable grades
ASTM B444 Seamless pipe and tube of nickel-chromium-molybdenum-columbium alloys for applicable grades

What Should Buyers Check When Selecting Aerospace Pipes and Tubes?

Selection Factor Why It Matters
Material Grade The grade should match the required corrosion resistance, temperature range and mechanical properties.
Pipe or Tube Dimensions Outside diameter, wall thickness, length and dimensional tolerances should match the equipment or project specification.
Operating Temperature Material performance should be evaluated against the actual operating temperature and service conditions.
Pressure Requirements Design pressure and applicable mechanical requirements should be considered when selecting the product.
Fluid Compatibility The material should be evaluated against the fluid, concentration and operating environment.
Testing and Documentation Required testing, inspection, heat-treatment records and material certificates should be confirmed against the purchase specification.
Traceability Requirements Heat numbers, MTCs and other documentation can be important where project specifications require material traceability.
