Nickel 200 Pipes

What is Nickel 200 Pipes?

Nickel 200 Pipes are commercially pure nickel pipes known for their excellent resistance to caustic alkalis, good corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity and useful mechanical properties across a wide range of industrial applications. Nickel 200 contains a high percentage of nickel with controlled carbon and impurity levels, making it suitable for applications where chemical stability and corrosion resistance are important.

Nickel 200 Pipes offer particularly good resistance to dry fluorine, caustic soda, distilled and natural waters and neutral and reducing salt solutions. The material also provides good resistance to corrosion in alkaline environments, making it suitable for chemical processing, food processing, synthetic fiber and other specialized industrial services.

Nickel 200 Pipes can be supplied in seamless and welded forms in different outside diameters, wall thicknesses, schedules and lengths according to applicable standards and customer requirements. The pipes can also be supplied with required testing, inspection, surface finish and material documentation for industrial projects.
