The industries that drive the Brazilian economy need high-quality structures in their machinery and projects related to production engineering. Many of them require the implementation of tubes for the conduction of fluids such as thermal oils, among other options for heat transfer in systems.
In other segments, such as swimming pools, water distribution, irrigation and construction, water pipes also appear as protagonists in the water and steam conduction system, or also in the chemical, marine and petroleum industries for the conduction of non-corrosive fluids. .
Meanwhile, correctly choosing the two tubes is essential to guarantee driving safety and, consequently, to reduce the risk of accidents in industrial operating sectors. Confirm, below, which are the most indicated options, according to the characteristics of each material:
Round Conduit Steel Pipes
For the conduction of ordinary fluids, round tubes manufactured with or without longitudinal welding are the most commonly used alternatives, due to the material's ability to withstand fluids at temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius.
It is important, however, that the material is in conformity with the quality standards established by the NBR 5580/DIN 2440 standards, regardless of whether it is classified for light, medium or heavy.
Shedule conduit pipes
Made of carbon, the Shedule tubes are also designed for fluid conduction. Therefore, they are only indicated for systems where they will have specific characteristics of pressure, temperature or corrosive properties, apart from mechanical and industrial projects. In the industry of granules, particulate matter, liquids and pastes, we find Shedule tubes an ideal solution for conduction.
On the market, they are available in the options such as non-sewing, bars or cut to order. During the purchase, it is important to demand quality certifications that confirm the performance of mechanical tests and hydrostatic tests to evaluate the safety level of the material.
Special sayings
During the planning of system implementation it is important that the company hire a mechanical engineer.
Thus, it eliminates the possibility of designing constructions with poor safety and, mainly, avoids buying two wrong tubes, since only the engineer will know which the correct material to meet all the driving requirements of the company.
