Alloy 825 (Incoloy 825) Steel Pipe Fittings for Severe Acid and Sour Service

High-Performance Alloy 825 (UNS N08825) Steel Pipe Fittings for Sulfuric/Phosphoric Acid, Sour Gas, and Offshore Applications

Womic Steel manufactures premium Alloy 825 (Incoloy 825) Steel Pipe Fittings, including elbows, tees, reducers, caps, stub ends, crosses, and nipples. Our nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy fittings provide outstanding resistance to sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sour gas (H₂S), and chloride stress corrosion cracking. With high nickel (38-46%) and copper (1.5-3.0%), they outperform stainless steels and duplex in reducing acid environments. They are the ideal choice for phosphoric acid evaporators, sulfuric acid coolers, sour gas heat exchangers, and offshore chemical injection lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Alloy 825 compare to Alloy 20?
Alloy 825 has higher nickel and molybdenum, better resistance to reducing acids and H₂S, and is costlier than Alloy 20.

2. Is Alloy 825 resistant to hydrochloric acid?
Limited – for concentrated HCl, consider Hastelloy C276.

3. Can 825 fittings be used in seawater?
Yes, but super duplex is more cost-effective for high-velocity seawater applications.
