Choosing the correct material for the various pipelines used within industrial facilities is one of the most important considerations for an engineers’ responsible for the maintenance and ongoing operation of those systems for the decades ahead.

When high temperature, high pressure, or high corrosive process piping systems are specified and in particular oil and gas, power generation and heavy industries look to develop longer and more productive lives of equipment using advanced chrome moly pipe materials. They rely on its proven performance characteristics that outperform standard steel when placed under the most demanding of conditions. Chrome pipe is often selected as it has superior resistance to pressure heat and corrosion as it is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel.

Chrome pipe will not deform and fail prematurely under operating temperature constraints that would normally render conventional carbon steel pipe obsolete after relatively short service periods as supported by extensive research carried out into metallurgical and engineering capabilities.

Specifying chrome pipe for demanding industrial piping applications ensures a high-performance, durable, and safety-compliant solution that minimises maintenance requirements and maximises operational service life. Below is an infographic outlining nine key benefits of using chrome pipe across industrial and process engineering applications.
