  • Professionally solution annealed
  • the metallographic structure is stable, with no precipitated carbides and no hidden corrosion risks. The mechanical strength is significantly higher than that of conventional austenitic stainless steel
  • with excellent pressure resistance, impact resistance, deformation resistance, and fatigue resistance

Detailed Introduction

Duplex steel pipe caps adopt an austenitic plus ferritic duplex metallographic structure, with material grades covering 2101, S31803, 2205 (S32205/F51), 2507 (S32750/F53), S32760, etc., and undergo solution annealing treatment. Specifications range from DN15 to DN2000, imperial 1/2″ to 48″, and can match SCH10S, SCH40S, SCH80S, SCH160S wall thicknesses as well as PN10–PN100, Class150–Class1500 pressure ratings, and comply with standards such as GB/T21832, ASTM A815, ASME SA815, EN, DIN, JIS, GOST, etc. They are mainly used for end capping, spare nozzle closure, and zone isolation of offshore platform pipelines, seawater desalination equipment, coastal chemical pipe networks, sour oil and gas transportation, desulfurization and denitrification environmental protection equipment, and brine and salt chemical pipelines. Before procurement, it is recommended to confirm the chloride ion concentration of the medium, hydrogen sulfide content, acid-base environment, diameter, wall thickness, pressure rating, and the required material grade; we will assist in matching solutions such as 2205 or 2507 accordingly.

  • It has outstanding resistance to chloride ion pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, and for coastal, seawater, and high salt fog environments it can reduce the early failure commonly seen with ordinary stainless steel.
  • It can withstand hydrogen sulfide acidic media and alternating acid-base corrosion, making it suitable for pipelines with high material requirements such as desulfurization, sour oil and gas, and salt chemical industry.
  • Material grades cover 2101, S31803, 2205, 2507, S32760, and selection can be made between conventional duplex steel and super duplex steel according to the corrosion level.
  • All undergo solution annealing treatment, the metallographic structure is stable, reducing the hidden risk of intergranular corrosion caused by precipitated carbides.
  • It has good welding performance, and weld joints are not prone to intergranular corrosion, facilitating on-site installation and subsequent maintenance.
  • Specifications cover DN15–DN2000 and 1/2″–48″, and support customization such as non-standard diameters, thickened wall thicknesses, and special-shaped structures.
  • Conventional 2205 mainstream specifications can be ordered from as low as 1 piece, suitable for marine engineering replacement parts, desulfurization project small samples, and sporadic replenishment.

FAQ

What is the difference between duplex steel pipe caps and 316L stainless steel pipe caps?

Duplex steel has a two-phase structure of austenite and ferrite, with higher strength, and its resistance to chloride ion, salt spray, and sulfide corrosion is significantly better than 316L, making it more suitable for marine, high-chloride, and strong acid working conditions. Under such environments, 316L is prone to pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, so its substitutability is limited.

How should 2205 and 2507 be selected?

2205 (S32205/F51) is suitable for conventional coastal, seawater desalination, and ordinary desulfurization working conditions, with higher cost-effectiveness; 2507 (S32750/F53) belongs to super duplex steel and is suitable for deep sea, high-sulfur oil and gas, and ultra-strong acid-base corrosion heavy-load working conditions. For specific selection, it is recommended to combine the chloride ion concentration of the medium, hydrogen sulfide content, and temperature, and contact us for confirmation.

Are duplex steel pipe caps subjected to solution annealing treatment?

Yes. All duplex steel pipe caps undergo solution annealing treatment to eliminate precipitated phases, stabilize the metallographic structure, and reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion cracking later.

Are small orders and mixed-batch procurement supported?

Yes. General specifications of conventional 2205/S32205 material, DN15–DN600 mainstream nominal diameters, and SCH40S standard anti-corrosion wall thickness can be shipped from 1 piece, and we also undertake full-container batch matching. Mixed batches involve combinations of different materials, diameters, and wall thicknesses; please provide a list and contact us for confirmation.

Can non-standard diameters and special-shaped structures be customized?

Yes. We support structural customization such as non-standard anti-corrosion diameters, non-standard thickened high-pressure wall thickness, special anti-corrosion arc height, extended sealing straight edges, eccentric special shapes, and marine-grade reducing plugs, and also support customization of materials such as 2205, 2507, and S31803 as needed. Please provide drawings or dimensional parameters, and we will assist in confirming the solution.

What are included in the product packaging and accompanying documents?

Packaging provides graded protection according to diameter: small pipe fittings are individually wrapped in dust-proof film plus bubble wrap with added port protective caps; medium-sized items are covered with double-layer waterproof and rust-proof woven fabric plus added anti-collision cushioning pads; large items use fumigated solid wood pallets, steel strap reinforcement, and overall sealed waterproof wrapping. Accompanying documents include Chinese-English material reports, intergranular corrosion test reports, and factory certificates of conformity. The pallets comply with international quarantine standards and can be directly cleared through cross-border customs.

How are the warranty period and after-sales service handled?

We provide an 18-month international warranty. During the warranty period, for corrosion leakage, pitting and cracking, substandard materials, or process defects not caused by human installation errors, we provide free replacement and reissue and bear cross-border logistics losses. We also provide marine pipeline welding guidance, anti-corrosion working condition optimization, and remote troubleshooting services.
