Zirconium Pipe – Tube

Key Advantages

  • Precision customization: welded or seamless; OD 0.5–200 mm, WT 0.1–20 mm, length ≤2000 mm; round/square; small-batch sampling.

  • High corrosion & thermal stability: stable oxide film; suitable for acids/alkalis (except HF) and high-temperature service.

  • Process control & QA: cold/ hot processing with UT/ET/pressure tests; low impurity control; clean surfaces.

Primary Applications

  • Chemical industry: corrosion-resistant pipelines; withstands acidic/alkaline media (except HF).

  • Nuclear reactors: structural components; low neutron absorption, high-temperature stability.

  • Aerospace: jet engine liners; resists high-temperature oxidation and mechanical stress.

Testing (typical)

  • 100% UT (ultrasonic)

  • 100% ET (eddy current)

  • 100% pneumatic/hydraulic pressure test

  • Microstructure / visual / dimensional / tensile inspection

Packaging & Delivery

  • Packaging: protective coatings/wrap; export wooden cases; edges protected to prevent damage.

  • Shipping: global courier or sea freight; lead times aligned with your schedule.
