Developed by Castolin Eutectic, CastoTube® is a highly cost-effective solution for plant productivity and exceptional wear resistance.
CastoTube® is made of a mild steel tube that has been internally wearfaced with TeroMatec® 4666 alloy, providing the exceptional wear resistance of the well-known 4666 CastoDur Diamond Plates® and meeting the market demand for erosion-resistant pipe sections and elbows.
One of the key advantages of CastoTubes® is that they offer excellent wear resistance, making them highly suitable to be installed in extremely demanding applications. This is because the TeroMatec® 4666 alloy used in the internal wearfacing is designed to withstand severe abrasion and erosion up to 1200°F (649°C) service temperatures.
As such, CastoTubes® are perfect for use in highly demanding applications where there is high material flow with abrasive particles like gravel, mineral particles, rocks and sand, making them ideal for industries such as cement and concrete, mines and quarries, sand and gravel pits, shredders and recycling plants, iron and steel mills, cement and ready-mix concrete plants, brickworks, foundries and coking plants, incineration plants, and electric power stations.
CastoTubes® are also highly cost-effective. They are lightweight, easy to replace and easy to join, meaning they can be installed with standard flanges quickly and efficiently. To avoid expensive forming operations of flat plates into tubes, Castolin Eutectic also created seamless small-diameter CastoTubes®.
Tubes with a minimum internal diameter of 82mm are available, with a maximum length of 3m. Virtually any inner diameter from the range of 82 to 303mm can be produced by applying a different wearfacing thickness inside the standard base tube. This allows a smooth joint to the existing installation, so as to avoid turbulent media flow. Additionally, its absence of harmful linear weld joints means that they can operate at high pressures.
CastoTubes® offer exceptional wear resistance, are highly cost-effective, lightweight, easy to replace and easy to join, available in small diameters and suitable for use in extremely harsh conditions. For a cost-effective solution that can withstand the extreme conditions of industrial applications, reduce downtime and increase the reliability and productivity of plant components, CastoTubes® is the perfect option.
