Product Description

ASTM B163 / ASME SB163 UNS N08825 Alloy 825 Seamless Nickel Alloy Tube for Heat Exchanger

 

 

As a professional manufacturer and supplier in China, Yuhong Group has always adhered to a quality-first philosophy, providing customers with high-quality products and good service. In recent years, Yuhong focus on developing heat exchanger tubes business and has created good achievements. ASTM B163 UNS N08825 Nickel Alloy Tube is a specification for seamless nickel alloy tubes used in heat exchangers, where the base material is Incoloy 825, a nickel‑iron‑chromium alloy with molybdenum and copper – offering exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, seawater, and chloride stress corrosion cracking.
 

 

Key Properties of Incoloy 825 for Heat Exchangers

  • Outstanding resistance to: Sulfuric acid (up to moderate concentrations), phosphoric acid, seawater, and reducing acids.

  • Excellent resistance to: Chloride stress corrosion cracking (SCC), pitting, and crevice corrosion.

  • High temperature oxidation resistance: Good up to ~1800°F (982°C) intermittent, ~1650°F (899°C) continuous.

  • Why it works: The combination of Ni-Cr-Mo-Cu provides protection in both oxidizing and reducing environments. Added Titanium stabilizes it against intergranular corrosion.

Non‑Destructive Testing (NDT) – Hidden Options

ASTM B163 permits either a hydrostatic test or an eddy current (ET) test for acceptance, but this creates subtle traps:

  • Hydrostatic test: Standard pressure = calculated from allowed fiber stress (50% of yield) but many users miss the requirement to hold pressure for at least 5 seconds per inch of OD. For gas service, a pneumatic test is not required by B163 – you must invoke ASME B31.3 or client specification.

  • Eddy current test: Only valid for tubes ≤ 4 inches OD. Calibration uses a 0.031” deep notch. However, ET does not detect through‑wall leaks or axial cracks. For corrosive service where pitting is possible, insist on hydrostatic or ultrasonic testing.

  • Hydrostatic vs. ET cost: Many mills default to ET because it is faster. Always confirm the test method on your PO.

 

 

Application

  • Chemical processing: Heater, reboilers, and condenser tubes in sulfuric/phosphoric acid service.

  • Oil & gas: Sour gas service (wet H₂S), wellhead heat exchangers, downhole tubing.

  • Marine: Seawater heat exchangers, evaporators, scrubbers.

  • Pollution control: Stack liners, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems.

  • Nuclear: Moderator cooling circuits (CANDU reactors).
