Steel Pipe Used For Fired Heat 

Fired Heaters, referred to as furnaces (direct fired heaters), are used in processing facilities to heat gases or liquids up to a desired temperature. Fired Heaters are utilized throughout hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries such as gas plants, refineries, processing of petrochemicals, ammonia and fertilizer plants. Steel pipes for the heaters are critical and complex pieces of equipment that having a major impact on process unit safety, reliability and economics.

Fired Heaters shall be designed for uniform heat distribution and consists of the shell part and the piping part. Tube layout facilitates thermal and hydraulic symmetry for each pass. To achieve better control of heat input to the tube with proper design of the firebox height to width ratio and if needed, use of bridgewalls. Tube length can be increased over vertical tube designs without compromising flow stability or mechanical design.

A range of carbon steel and multiple chrome-moly alloy steels that are able to withstand the extreme temperatures generated by fired heaters, are used for heaters and process applications:
