low temperature pipe materials for LNG transportation

22-10-2024

Transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) occurs at extremely low temperatures, typically hovering around -162°C. The pipeline's temperature can plummet to these frigid levels, necessitating the use of specialized materials. Consequently, low temperature pipe materials designe d for LNG transportation must possess exceptional low-temperature toughness and superior thermal conductivity. Additionally, to prevent any potential leaks, these materials must be inherently corrosion-resistant, possess high strength, exhibit low permeability, and offer excellent welding characteristics. Bei Lai ASTM A333 Low Temperature Pipe impeccably fulfill all the prerequisites for low temperature pipe materials used in the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Tough and cold resistant, good thermal conductivity

The choice of low temperature pipe material is crucial to ensure its performance. At low temperatures, common piping materials are susceptible to embrittlement, resulting in a significant loss of strength and toughness, and possibly even cracking. In contrast, Bei Lai ASTM A333 Low Temperature Pipe, with its unique material composition, is still able to demonstrate excellent mechanical properties and outstanding corrosion resistance under extreme temperature conditions.

Exquisite processing technology to ensure quality

In addition to the selection of low temperature pipe materials, the processing of cryogenic pipe also plays a crucial role, which profoundly affects the overall performance and service life of the pipe. This process must be strictly controlled and meticulously inspected to ensure that the structural solidity and integrity of the pipe is not compromised.

In the welding process of Low Temperature Pipe, specific welding methods, such as argon arc welding and TIG welding, must be used and welding parameters must be precisely controlled as a means of ensuring that the quality and strength of the weld is optimized. In addition, in order to improve the strength and toughness of the material and reduce the risk of embrittlement, cryogenic tubes also need to undergo a series of special heat treatment processes, such as annealing, quenching and tempering.

As for the surface treatment process, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of cryogenic tubes, we need to treat them with treatments such as polishing, sandblasting and galvanizing. The fine execution of these process steps will further enhance the overall performance and reliability of cryogenic tubes.

Good performance indicators, all-round protection, stability and reliability

The performance index of low temperature pipe has a direct impact on its application effect in low temperature environment. Bei Lai ASTM A333 Low Temperature Pipe not only operates stably at extremely low ambient temperatures, but also shows excellent thermal insulation performance, while maintaining excellent strength, toughness, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, ensuring the safe operation of the pipe. In addition, the low-temperature pipe also has excellent impact resistance, which can effectively resist impact loads and prevent the pipe from being damaged due to impact. In terms of corrosion resistance, Bei Lai ASTM A333 Low Temperature Pipe is able to withstand the corrosive attack of the working environment, which significantly extends the service life of the pipe.
