What technological tests are performed on TC1 tubes?
Standard TC1 testing includes:
Tensile Test: To verify strength.
Flattening Test: To ensure the tube doesn't crack under compression.
Drift Expanding Test: To check ductility by expanding the tube end.
Dimensional Inspection: Checking OD, wall thickness, and straightness.
Visual Inspection: Checking for surface defects.
Can P235GH be U-bent?
Yes. P235GH is very ductile and is frequently used for U-bundle heat exchangers. However, after U-bending, it is common practice (or required by code) to perform stress-relief heat treatment on the bend area to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
