Temperature Range of Monel 400 Perlengkapan

One of Monel 400’s most impressive qualities is its ability to maintain mechanical stability across extreme temperature ranges — from cryogenic conditions to high heat.

Operating Temperature Range:

Minimum Service Temperature: –100°C (–150°F)
Suhu Layanan Maksimum: +550°C (1020°F)

Performance Characteristics by Temperature Range:

At Low Temperatures (Below 0°C):
- Monel 400 retains excellent toughness and impact strength even at cryogenic temperatures.
- It remains ductile and non-brittle, making it suitable for low-temperature gas storage and processing.
At Moderate Temperatures (100°C hingga 300 °C):
- Maintains stable mechanical properties with minimal loss in tensile strength.
- Commonly used in heat exchangers, sistem desalinasi, and marine pipelines.
At High Temperatures (Above 400°C):
- Resists oxidation and scaling.
- Retains corrosion resistance in steam and acidic environments.
- Exhibits stable mechanical strength up to 550°C for short-term service.

Catatan: Continuous exposure above 550°C is not recommended, as prolonged heat may cause structural changes that affect the alloy’s mechanical integrity.

Pressure Range of Monel 400 Perlengkapan

Itu peringkat tekanan dari Monel 400 fittings depends on the tipe pas, ukuran, ketebalan dinding, dan standar manufaktur (seperti ASME B16.11 or MSS SP-79).

Typical Pressure Ratings (at Room Temperature):

Fitting Type	Standar	Kelas Tekanan	Working Pressure (batang)	Working Pressure (psi)
Pengelasan Soket & Perlengkapan Berulir	ASME B16.11	3000	206	3000
Pengelasan Soket & Perlengkapan Berulir	ASME B16.11	6000	414	6000

Butt Weld Fittings	ASME B16.9	SCH 40 / 80	Hingga 137	Hingga 2000

Pressure Variation with Temperature:

The working pressure decreases as temperature increases due to the reduction in material yield strength.

Suhu (°C)	Maximum Allowable Pressure (Kelas 3000)
20°C	206 batang
100°C	190 batang
200°C	175 batang
300°C	160 batang
400°C	145 batang
500°C	130 batang
