White paper on stainless steel pipe application technology in energy field released
Time : Sep 20 2025
The Hebei Iron and Steel Technology Research Institute today released its "316L Stainless Steel Pipe Energy Application Guide," revealing three innovative technologies: 1) ultra-low temperature toughness treatment, achieving an impact energy of ≥100J at -196°C; 2) electrolytic polishing of the inner surface to Ra ≤ 0.4μm, reducing crude oil adhesion by 35%; and 3) a laser QR code traceability system. This material has successfully served the Caspian Sea oil fields in Kazakhstan (resistant to H₂S corrosion), the Russian Arctic LNG project (at -50°C), and the Central Asia hydrogen pipeline pilot project, with annual pipe exports exceeding 8,000 tons.
