The Hidden Dangers of Corrosion in Fire Tubes

Corrosion in fire tubes is a gradual yet destructive process that can compromise the safety and functionality of heater treaters. At its core, corrosion is a chemical or electrochemical reaction between materials—usually metals—and their environment. This reaction leads to the degradation of the metal’s surface and, over time, its structural integrity. Fire tubes, which are constantly exposed to extreme conditions, …
