Zirconium Steel Welded pipe and Tube
There is a chemical element that is called zirconium with symbol Zr and atomic number 40. It is taken from the name zircon. It is used as a refractory. Also the small amounts are used as an alloying agent for strong resistance to corrosion. It has no biological role. It forms a variety of inorganic and organometallic compounds that is zirconium dioxide.
Uses of Zirconium
The metal is used in the nuclear industry for cladding fuel elements as it has low absorption cross section for neutrons. Many common acids and alkalis are resistant to corrosion. It is used as alloying agent in steel and making surgical appliances. This metal has a low temperature, so it is used to make superconductor magnets. It is used in vacuum tubes, explosive primers and flash bulbs for photography. It is also used in laboratory and by glass or ceramic industries as rebuilt material.
Benefits of Zirconium Piping System
There is extremely high resistance to corrosion, zirconium piping can have hardest fluids. I reduces maintenance expense as there is a small pause, it makes an economical choice over other reactive metals. Zirconium pipe can
- Eliminates expensive downtime due to equipment failure
- Be cost competitive
- Accommodate high stream pressure
- Provides many years of economical service life
