Material of construction for primary reformer tubes

Question

Accepted Answer

The material of construction for primary reformer tubes is typically high-temperature alloys such as Inconel or stainless steel.

Primary reformer tubes are subjected to high temperatures and corrosive environments.
Inconel is a commonly used material due to its high temperature and corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel is also used for primary reformer tubes, especially in less severe operating conditions.
Other materials like nickel-based alloys may also be used depending on the specific requirements of the reforming process.

Accepted Answer

Steels made for creep resistance
