S32168 Stainless Steel Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger

What is S32168 Stainless Steel shell and tube heat exchanger?

S32168 stainless steel, also known as 06Cr18Ni11Ti (or the old grade 0Cr18Ni11TI), is a austenitic Ni-Cr-Ti stainless steel suitable for heat exchanger tubes due to its high temperature resistance, creep resistance, and wear resistance. It is specified in the Chinese national standard GB/T13296 for shell and tube heat exchangers and is used in various industrial applications, including conveying pipelines, acid containers, and equipment linings.

Comparison of S32168 and TP316 Heat Exchanger Tubes

S32168 is a Ni-Cr-Ti austenitic stainless steel with high abrasion, high-temperature, and creep resistance, making it suitable for wear-resistant, high-temperature, and high-corrosion applications like specific industrial equipment, whereas TP316 is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel (ASTM A249 TP316) excellent for general heat exchanger applications, especially in chloride-containing and pitting-prone environments due to its enhanced molybdenum content. The key difference is S32168's titanium addition for high-temperature stability and abrasion resistance, while TP316 relies on molybdenum for superior pitting resistance in acidic and chloride media.
