What is a condenser tube and How to Make It?

The stable operation of a condenser largely depends on the tube's ability to effectively remove heat. The condenser tube is installed inside the condenser. When steam or high-temperature gas passes through, heat is transferred through the tube wall to the cooling medium, causing the gas to liquefy. This process seems simple, but the tube material must withstand constant temperature, pressure, and corrosive media; therefore, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength are all crucial.

Common materials include 304/304L, 316/316L austenitic stainless steel, S32205 duplex stainless steel, and titanium alloys. Material selection depends on the medium composition, temperature, pressure, and equipment lifespan. Products are typically manufactured according to standards such as ASTM A249, ASTM A213, or ASTM B338, with different standards corresponding to different materials and manufacturing methods.
