Inconel Tube Sizes
Inconel tubes are stocked in a wide range of outer diameters and wall thicknesses.
| Tube Type | Outer Diameter (OD) | Wall Thickness | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seamless Inconel Tubes | 1/4" to 12" (6.35 to 304.8 mm) | 0.035" to 0.500" (0.89 to 12.70 mm) | Up to 26 m |
| Welded Inconel Tubes | 1/2" to 12" (12.7 to 304.8 mm) | 0.8 mm to 12.7 mm | As per ASTM B704 / B751 |
Inconel Tube Grades
Inconel tubes come in 2 primary grades targeting specific operating conditions.
Inconel 600 Tube (ASTM B163 / ASTM B167)
Inconel 600 tube contains 72% minimum nickel with 14 to 17% chromium. It resists chloride stress corrosion cracking and oxidation up to 1100°C (2012°F), serving nuclear steam generators and furnace equipment.
Inconel 625 Tube (ASTM B444)
Inconel 625 tube is solid-solution-strengthened with 8 to 10% molybdenum and 3.15 to 4.15% niobium. Annealed tubing delivers 827 MPa (120 ksi) minimum tensile strength for offshore oil and gas and chemical processing.
Inconel Tube Price
The pricing of Inconel 600 tube ranges from Rs 800 to 5,000 per kg in India and US $10 to $60/kg internationally. For 625, it goes from Rs 2,000 to 12,000 per kg in India and US $25 to $150/kg overseas. The final price depends on grade, size, form, and quantity.

Types of Inconel Tubes
Inconel tubes come in 2 configurations.
Seamless Inconel Tubes
Welded Inconel Tubes
Inconel Tube Industrial Applications
Inconel tubes serve 5 major industries where high-temperature and corrosion resistance are critical.
Aerospace & Gas Turbine
Inconel 625 tubing is used in jet engine fuel lines, exhaust ducting, and turbine cooling above 650°C.
Chemical Processing
Inconel 625 tubes reliably carry aggressive acids and chloride-bearing process streams in high-pressure, high-temperature chemical reactors.
Oil & Gas
Subsea umbilicals and downhole control lines use Inconel 625 tubing for sour gas (H2S) resistance per NACE MR0175.
Nuclear Power & Heat Exchangers
In the nuclear power sector, Inconel 600 tubes serve as steam generator tubing in pressurised water reactors.
Heat Exchangers & Condensers
ASTM B163 Inconel tubes are specified for heat exchangers and condensers handling seawater and corrosive media.
Inconel Tube vs Stainless Steel Tube
The table given below compares the two most favourable grades of their respective materials.
Inconel tubes outperform SS 316 above 650°C (1200°F) and in chloride stress corrosion cracking environments.
| Property | Inconel 625 Tube | SS 316 Tube |
|---|---|---|
| Max Service Temperature | 980°C (1796°F) | 870°C (1598°F) |
| Tensile Strength (Annealed) | 827 MPa (120 ksi) | 515 MPa (75 ksi) |
| Chloride SCC Resistance | Excellent | Susceptible |
| Cost (per kg) | US $25 to $150 | US $3 to $15 |
SS 316 suits moderate temperatures at a lower cost; Inconel is preferred for severe corrosion and high-temperature service.
