Title: Uses for stainless steel tubing in Nuclear Plants
Post by: aniMattor on Jun 16, 2008, 11:34
The company I work at (James C. White Co.) manufactures support systems for tubes and cables, and a good portion of our business is with nuclear plants.

We make a lot of solid SS block clamps to hold stainless tubing. Most of our products came about as a special request from a utility or plant, and we worked with them to build exactly the right clamp for the job. The problem is, we often don't know exactly what that job is! Obviously we know the clamp will hold tubing or pipes, but we don't know what function those tubes serve in the larger picture of the Power plant. Our clamps are safety related, but not for use behind the pressure wall.

Can anyone tell me what functions and processes stainless tubing is used for in power plants? This would at least give us a general idea where our clamps are going in the plant.

We also manufacture TUBETRACK angle and channel tray, and I'd be interested if anyone has seen it installed in your plant.


Thanks!
