Abstract
A pipe includes a pipe wall having an inner wall surface. Ribs are disposed on the inner wall surface forming a multiple thread. The ribs define a mean inside pipe diameter and the ribs have a lead which is equal to between 0.6 and 0.9 times the square root of the mean inside pipe diameter. Such pipes may be used in a fossil-fuel steam generator, a solar-heated steam generator, or a heated steam generator serving as a waste-heat steam generator, a heat exchanger or a steam generator for absorbing after-heat in a nuclear power plant.
