What are the considerations for nitrogen pipeline design? What is a good material for pipes?
There shouldn’t be any special requirements for nitrogen pipelines, right? Our factory uses carbon steel. However, it mainly depends on the different pressure levels, which in turn determine the required types of pipes.
Pay attention to the DN and PN of the pipes; it is also best to install valves as separators for both the branch pipes and the main pipes, as this is required by major safety standards.
Reply to 2# bl25825259775: What are the dangers of nitrogen gas leaks?
It’s better to use stainless steel; it’s safer and more reliable, though its price is higher than that of carbon steel. We use stainless steel for all of these.
Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless liquid; if it leaks, it can cause suffocation in people
Carbon steel is sufficient for nitrogen use; for high-pressure nitrogen at 16 Mpa, we also use 20# steel, in accordance with the GB9948 standard
Ordinary carbon steel will do; here I use ordinary carbon steel for all applications at 1.0 Mpa.
