Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow for sour-gas service applications
Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow has excellent mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures up to about 480C.
The Characteristics of ALLOY K500 pipe bend and elbow are excellent corrosion resistance in an extensive range of natural and chemical environments, excellent resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, and very high strength and hardness After age-hardening. The additions of aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper base allow for subsequent heat treat that increases the mechanical properties. Alloy K-500 also has low magnetic permeability and strong non-magnetic characteristics over a wide range of temperatures, including subzero. With very low corrosion rates in high velocity seawater and high strength, Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow are an ideal material for marine applications. Monel K500 pipe bend and elbow are also resistant to sour gas environments.
