Bimetallic Tubes

Dual-Metal Strength for Demanding Thermal & Corrosive Environments

Bimetallic Tubes

Engineering Composite Strength

Tube Tech® Bimetallic Tubes are high-performance composite tubes engineered by combining two different metals into a single structure - an inner core and an outer sleeve.

Bimetallic tube is composed of two different materials - usually inner material is a corrosion resistant alloy (copper, aluminum brass or Cupro nickel) whereas the outer material is a high stress resistant alloy (Brass, stainless steel or carbon steel). In applications with high pressures and corrosive conditions, bimetallic tube permits a large economical savings in comparison with a tube made of a single alloy, since the use of precious materials is reduced to the minimum.

Key Features

  • Dual-metal construction for enhanced corrosion & mechanical performance
  • Flawless cladding via rolling & drawing process
  • Excellent resistance to erosion, scaling & seawater
  • Maintains superior heat transfer with outer-wall protection
  • Economical solution reducing use of precious materials
  • Custom material combinations available
  • Optional helical fins for better heat transfer

Applications

Heat Exchangers Power Plants High Corrosive Systems Chemical Industries Petrochemical Food Processing Condensers Desalination Plants Offshore Cooling Refinery Units
