Alloy G-30 (UNS N06030) is a Ni-Cr-Fe corrosion-resistant alloy with alloying additions of molibdenum, tungsten, copper and niobium. Generally resistant to oxidizing environments, it's extremely resistant to phosphoric acid (P2O5) and thus used widely in the production of agrichemical fertilizers. It can be seen as a low-carbon variant of alloy G, with improved weldability (it's less prone to heat-affected zome carbide precipitation and hot-cracking), and ductility.Used in phosphoric acid plants, sulphuric acid service, nitric acid service, pickling operations, petrochemical operations, fertilizer manufacture, pesticide manufacture, gold extraction and nuclear waste processing.
The swaged nipple is a pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of different sizes in a straight line to achieve pipe diameter reduction. There are concentric reducers and eccentric reducers. The center lines of the two pipes connected by the concentric reducer are in a straight line, and it is mainly used for vertical pipelines. Eccentric reducers are more often used in horizontal pipelines. Usually, the reducers for connecting large diameter pipelines are made of steel plates or steel strips, which are cheap and economical, but the reducers without straight edge sections are more difficult to align at the welding groove than the reducers with straight edge sections. In small-diameter pipelines (below DN50), reducing nipples are often used to replace reducing joints for pipe diameter reduction. Reducing nipples are also divided into concentric and eccentric.
