Vallourec / Steam Tube & Pipe / p.3

A complete range
All tubular products required in highcapacity power stations are subjected
to critical operating stresses. High quality requirements are applied to the steel
tubes and pipes, which have to withstand operating temperatures up to
about 625 C (1155 F) and pressures up
to 320 bar (4650 psi) over the plant lifetime of several decades.
Vallourec produces all these tubular
products, such as combustion chamber
tubes, header pipes and line pipe for
main steam and reheater circuits, in a
complete size range from the smallest
dimension up to large heavy wall pipe in
all required steel grades. The material is
melted in Vallourec own steel works,
tailor made to the requirements, including the most sophisticated grades such
as T91/P91 (or X10CrMoVNb9-1), T92/
P92 (or X10CrWMoVNb9-2), VM12-SHC
and T24/P24 (7CrMoVTiB 10-10).

Hot rolling of the tubes and pipes is

carried out on high-performance tube
works, i.e. depending on dimensions on
a push bench mill
continuous mandrel mills
plug mills
pilger mills
a piercing and drawing pipe works and
Premium Forged Pipes (PFP) works.
This variety of production facilities
enables Vallourec ideally to choose the
most suitable production process for
the individual product. Therefore, also
special products for boiler construction
and piping systems can be manufactured.

1,000,000

tons of highly advanced boiler

tubes delivered since 2000

Vallourec provides all kind

of tubes and pipes
Waterwall panels
Headers
Steam piping
Piping components
Cold-drawn boiler tubes

for carbon grades, but can be different for alloyed grades.

Note: tolerances can also be defined according to inside diameter

and/or minimum wall thickness.

p.10 / Vallourec / Steam Tube & Pipe

Special products for boiler construction

Long-lengths boiler tubes

are available in hot-rolled condition up
to 22.5 m. This offers advantages for
the design of different boiler components and heat exchanger units, especially for saving of welds.

Since 2000 installed capacity

of boiler tubes well over

150,000 MW

Machined piping products

can be supplied to meet special surface
requirements and/or close diameter and
wall thickness tolerances thanks to
modern center lathes, deep-hole boring
machines (up to 15 m in length), and
horizontal boring and milling machines.
Weld bevels can be machined in accordance with applicable standards and
specifications.

Additional products in our sales programm

Piping components
Fittings, headers or other prefabricated
products can be supplied with hotreduced or bottlenecked ends on one
or both sides. Moreover, hollow bodies
can be manufactured with integral bottom or with one thickened end.

Cold-drawn boiler tubes 1)

are supplied up to 25 m with close tolerances, in standard and non-standard
dimensions or inside-diameter controlled. Any dimension can be produced
within the dimension range.

Stainless and high alloy

boiler tubes 2)
for superheaters and re-heaters, with an
outside diameter from 38.1 to 76.1 mm,
suitable for highly corrosive environments and supercritical steam conditions (above 550 C and 24.1 MPa).

1) produced by Salzgitter Mannesmann Prcision Etirage SAS

2) produced by TUBACEX S.A. and sold by Vallourec under strategic agreement

Multirifled boiler tubes 1)

are used in high-pressure boilers to
eliminate the steam film formation on
the inner surface of the tube and to increase the thermal efficiency of the
water walls. The product range covers
outside diameters from 28.6 to 82.5 mm
with wall thicknesses from 3.7 to
13.2 mm.
