Hastelloy C-22 Tube for Pharmaceutical Reactor Piping
Our Hastelloy C-22 tube is a total game-changer for pharmaceutical reactor piping, built to handle the toughest corrosive chemicals without breaking a sweat. This nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, with about 56% nickel, 22% chromium, 13% molybdenum, plus a dash of tungsten and iron, is our go-to for applications where corrosion resistance and reliability are critical. Whether it’s piping, fittings, or heat exchanger tubes in pharmaceutical reactors, this tube keeps your systems clean, safe, and running smoothly.
What makes Hastelloy C-22 tube stand out is its killer ability to resist corrosion from oxidizing acids, chlorides, and wet chlorine gas, which are common in pharmaceutical processing. It’s perfect for reactor piping, fighting off pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking to ensure your systems stay leak-free and compliant with strict hygiene standards. This tube keeps your production efficient and your products pure, no matter how harsh the chemicals get.
This tube’s versatility is a huge win. It’s stable up to 1038°C, which is plenty for pharmaceutical reactors operating in moderate-heat conditions, like those in drug synthesis or bioprocessing plants. Its low thermal conductivity (~10 W/m·K) helps with precise thermal management, and its high strength ensures it holds up under mechanical stress. From API manufacturing to vaccine production, Hastelloy C-22 delivers.
We love how workable this tube is, even with its complex alloy makeup. You can bend, weld, or form it into whatever your piping design needs—think seamless reactor lines or custom fittings. Need a specific diameter, wall thickness, or length? We can tailor it to fit your specs, ensuring smooth fabrication and keeping your project on track.
