Tantalum Pipes & Tubes are designed for harsh conditions and high-temperature applications where high corrosion resistance and high material reliability is needed. Resistant to mineral acids, chlorine containing media and aggressive chemicals; good for process equipment. They are produced in commercially pure tantalum and alloyed grades and can be seamless or welded, with various thicknesses and sizes. A variety of chemical processing equipment, pharmaceutical systems, heat exchanger equipment, and reactive process piping are manufactured from tantalum tubing. Specifications ASTM B521 / ASME SB521 can be followed as per project requirement, material certificate and traceability can be provided for critical application. Amardeep Steel Centre LLP is a renowned manufacturer and supplier of Tantalum Pipes & Tubes and other tantalum products in India and other parts of the world.
