Tube furnace material help
(OP)
I need to make a tube furnace using a flanged heating element that will operate at about 1800F. Pressurized to 30PSI
2" ID x 10" Pipe with one side welded with a flanged heating element and the other welded cap.
What material would be appropriate?
It will be underwater

Of course the surface in contact with the water will be cold, so there must be multiple walls, insulation, and such.

So furnace tube filled with hydrogen submerged in water
Thanks!
RE: Tube furnace material help
water submersed retorts used in that temperature range.
Before filling with Hydrogen, you should purge with Nitrogen or Argon to to remove all air (oxygen) for safety otherwise you could have a bomb.

Are the heating elements sheathed? What if there any contaminants in the sheath,which will come into contact with heated hydrogen?
Good Luck and safe working!
