Zirconium fittings refer to pipe connectors made of zirconium metal, including but not limited to zirconium pipes, zirconium seamless pipes, zirconium alloy pipes, etc. These pipe fittings are widely used in multiple fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties, including but not limited to petroleum, chemical, salt production, metallurgy, electronics, aviation, aerospace, marine engineering, etc.
The application of zirconium fittings benefits from the excellent properties of zirconium metal, such as high melting point (1852 ℃), high boiling point (4377 ℃), insolubility in water, density of 6.49 g/cm ³, and its excellent corrosion resistance under high temperature and high pressure. These characteristics enable zirconium fittings to work stably under extreme conditions, meeting the needs of various industrial applications.
In addition, zirconium fittings are also used in the atomic energy industry, such as equipment used in the atomic energy industry, which further proves the important role of zirconium and its alloys in the high-tech field. For example, the size range of zirconium alloy cladding tubes used in pressurized water reactors is φ 6-15mm × 0.4-0.7mm. These tubes are commonly used as end plugs for fuel elements, demonstrating the application details of zirconium fittings in the nuclear energy field.
In summary, zirconium fittings are widely used in multiple fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties, especially in high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments. Zirconium fittings have demonstrated their irreplaceable value.
