Pipe Fittings for Power Generation Industry
Power plants operate piping systems under some of the highest pressures and temperatures in industry. From supercritical steam lines to cooling water networks, our high-alloy and carbon steel fittings deliver the reliability and certification that power generation demands.
Applications in Power Generation
Power generation facilities — whether coal, gas, nuclear, or renewable — rely on complex piping networks where failure is not an option. Our fittings serve across every system within the plant:
Main Steam & Reheat Lines
Superheated steam piping from boilers to turbines, and reheat circuits. Operating temperatures up to 620°C at pressures exceeding 250 bar. Chrome-moly alloy steel fittings (P11/P22/P91) with controlled chemistry and heat treatment.
Feed Water Systems
High-pressure feed water lines from deaerators to economizers. Carbon and low-alloy steel fittings with strict cleanliness and oxygen control requirements.
Cooling Water Circuits
Once-through and recirculating cooling systems, condenser piping, and cooling tower distribution. Large-diameter carbon steel elbows and reducers for high flow rates.
Balance of Plant (BOP)
Auxiliary piping for fuel handling, ash disposal, compressed air, fire protection, and chemical dosing. Complete range of standard carbon steel fittings for utility systems.

Quality Requirements for Power Generation
Power plant piping must meet rigorous quality standards. Our manufacturing and testing processes are aligned with the requirements of major power engineering specifications:
- ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code: All fittings manufactured and tested in compliance with power piping design requirements
- Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT): Controlled furnace and local PWHT for alloy steel fittings, with full temperature recording charts
- Hardness Testing: Brinell and Vickers hardness testing on all heat-treated fittings to verify proper tempering
- Ultrasonic Examination: UT examination per ASME B16.9 and client specifications to detect internal discontinuities
