What is Super Duplex Pipes?
Super Duplex pipes are considered a hybrid of duplex stainless steel and have both the best strength and corrosion resistance available. It will combine the best qualities of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels to give superior mechanical properties that ensure durability and a long useful life for more demanding applications.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Super Duplex pipes perform very well in highly corrosive environments. It has a large amount of chromium and molybdenum, which provides excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. This property makes them appropriate for use in oil and gas industries, marine surroundings, and chemical processing, where they are majorly exposed to a lot of harsh chemicals and saline conditions.
Applications Across Industries
Their superior properties make Super Duplex pipes suitable for working in industries that vary from oil and gas, subsea pipelines, and offshore platforms to the chemical industry for handling corrosive fluids. These materials are often used in very critical applications because of their capability to withstand extreme conditions.
Cost-Effective Solution
Although Super Duplex pipes may be highly expensive at the front end, generally they tend to become very cost-effective over a long period due to their highly strong nature and reduced maintenance costs. The material is durable and thus has low replacement frequency with low maintenance costs, making it cost-effective in the long run.
