Steel tubes are products of great importance for the civil, architectural and production industries. Estimates suggest that more than 34 million tons of gross year were produced in the country over the last year.
Normally, the purpose of use determines which oil tube will be used in each situation and, although most of them will be very resistant, some types are not recommended for extreme working conditions.
This is the case of Schedule Tube, known for its resistance, durability and versatility. It is classified according to its nominal diameter, or the larger the diameter, the greater the pressure and temperature supported by it.
It can also be specified according to its degree of malleability, with tube "A" being completely bent and tube "B" or being bent at a certain point. Another characteristic that may exist is that the tube is galvanized or not, or is, a layer of zinc that prevents oxidation.
Technical details
The Schedule Pipes are conduction pipes that comply with the NBR-5590 standard. They are only equivalent to ASTM A-53 standard pipes. Only carbon steel structures are intended for the conduction of fluids with specific pressure, temperature or corrosive characteristics.
Only applied for mechanical and general industrial purposes. These tubes are ideal for conveying granular or particulate solid materials, liquid or pasty materials and also for vapors and gases.
Certificate of quality and technical standards
The Schedule Pipes are obligatorily provided with a quality certificate, characterizing the results of two mechanical tests (with docking and flattening), and two hydrostatic tests carried out outside of their manufacturing. Such a guarantee allows total precision and safety in the installations that we use.
Other important information regarding this type of tube is that it can be provided with specific regulatory requirements, following the ASTM A-53 standard, ASTM A106 or API5L.
Use of Schedule Tubes
As these types of tubes are resistant to the conduction of fluids under pressure and specific temperatures, they are ideal and widely used in the chemical, oil and marine industries. Also, they are constantly used in automotive engineering and in hospitals. Confirm:
Hydrants
Hydrant networks are sets of tubes and connections that conduct water to fight fires. Therefore, your tubes must resist heat and withstand water pressure at the two hydrant or two handle points, so the Schedule Tubes are the most suitable.
Caldeiras
The boilers are large containers for steam production. By adding water, they can activate thermal machines that require high temperatures, such as room heating, sterilization, cooking, among others. The Schedule is interesting, because it is capable of resisting these temperatures.
Super cozy
It is constantly used in supercoolers, which require conduction pipes that can withstand very high temperatures. We optimize the operation of the boilers and take advantage of all the gases that circulate inside.
Capacitors
You are only responsible for simple distillation processes. In its structure, two types of fluids pass, one being vapor that is condensed and the other being water that cools to the temperature of the condenser. The Schedule Tubes are therefore ideal to resist all this.
heat exchangers
They also need conduit tubes to transfer heat from one fluid to another. Please use power plants, heaters, air conditioning and refrigeration. The radiators of two cars are examples of heat exchangers.
Chemical industries
These industries need to obey strict safety standards to carry out their chemical processes and to form their substances and raw materials. For this reason, the guide tubes end up becoming essential and indispensable, making the Schedule your greatest allies.
Hospitals
In hospitals, oxygen suppression, an empty tablet is required for the treatment of two patients. The outlets for these gases must have appropriate connections and adequate tubing to avoid accidental leaks. Once again, the Tubo Schedule is the best.
