Hastelloy B3 Tube Fittings Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in India, USA, Turkey & Nigeria
Hastelloy B3 Tube Fittings are manufactured from a nickel-molybdenum alloy developed for demanding reducing-acid and chemical-processing environments. Hastelloy B3 is identified by UNS N10675 and is particularly known for its resistance to hydrochloric acid and improved thermal stability compared with earlier B-series alloys.
Mcneil Instruments is a Hastelloy B3 Tube Fittings Manufacturer, Supplier, Stockist & Exporter in India, USA, Turkey & Nigeria, supplying instrumentation and tube fittings in configurations such as double ferrule fittings, compression fittings, unions, elbows, tees, connectors, adapters and bulkhead fittings.
Hastelloy B3 contains approximately 27–32% molybdenum, at least 65% nickel and controlled additions of chromium and iron, with carbon limited to approximately 0.01% maximum. The alloy was developed to address thermal-stability and fabrication concerns associated with Hastelloy B2 while maintaining strong resistance to reducing chemical environments.
What Are Hastelloy B3 Tube Fittings?
Hastelloy B3 Tube Fittings are precision components used to connect, branch, redirect, terminate or transition tubing in instrumentation and process systems.
They are selected for tubing applications where the process medium can be highly corrosive and where a nickel-molybdenum alloy is required.
Typical applications include:
Chemical-processing systems
Hydrochloric-acid service
Acid-handling systems
Chemical instrumentation
Process-control systems
Pharmaceutical processing
Petrochemical equipment
Process sampling systems
Corrosive-fluid transfer systems
Heat-transfer equipment
Actual alloy suitability depends on chemical concentration, temperature, contaminants, aeration and other process conditions.
