The EN 10217-1 standard is the European standard for welded pressure pipes, it governs the technical requirements for carbon steel tubes. This standard is suitable for welding carbon steel tubes which having specified room temperature properties and rated pressures. The essential requirements of this standard are minimum yield point strength and tensile strength, elongation, weldability, Impact values, non-destructive test, etc. This standard is widely used in the construction of pressure vessels and piping systems in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and Power industries.
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one medium to another, often with the goal of reusing or recycling heat that would otherwise be wasted or lost. The process of heat exchange is fundamental to many everyday appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, and is also critical in many industrial applications.
