Duplex & Super Duplex Pipe

High-strength, chloride-resistant pipe for the Gulf's toughest service — seawater, desalination and offshore. Duplex 2205 (S31803/S32205), super duplex 2507 (S32750) and Zeron 100 (S32760) to ASTM A790 & A928, seamless & welded, with ferrite, pitting (G48) and 3.1 / 3.2 certification.

Duplex and super duplex pipe 2205 2507
/ Overview

When 316L isn't enough

Duplex stainless steels combine an austenitic-ferritic microstructure to deliver roughly twice the strength of standard 316L with far superior resistance to chloride pitting and stress-corrosion cracking. In warm, high-chloride Gulf seawater — where plain 316L can suffer crevice attack — duplex and super duplex are the correct choice for desalination trains, seawater cooling, firewater and offshore systems.

Select 2205 for general chloride and moderate seawater service, and super duplex 2507 / Zeron 100 (PREN ≥ 40) for aggressive warm seawater. Service temperature is limited to roughly −50 to +300 °C to avoid embrittlement.

/ FAQ

Duplex pipe — common questions

What is the difference between duplex 2205 and super duplex 2507?
2205 (S31803/S32205) has a PREN around 35 and suits most chloride and moderate seawater service. 2507 (S32750) has higher Cr, Mo and N giving PREN ≥ 40 — needed for aggressive warm seawater, desalination and offshore duty.
What is PREN?
Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number — estimates pitting resistance from composition: PREN = %Cr + 3.3×%Mo + 16×%N. Super duplex grades require PREN ≥ 40.
What standards cover duplex pipe?
ASTM A790 (seamless & welded) and A928 (welded with filler). Common grades: 2205 (1.4462), 2507 (1.4410) and Zeron 100 (1.4501, S32760).
Where can I buy duplex pipe in the GCC?
