ASTM A213 is a core material standard specifically developed for heat exchange equipment operating in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. It sets strict requirements for seamless tubes used in boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers regarding chemical composition, heat treatment processes, and high-temperature mechanical properties.
Adherence to this standard ensures that the tubes maintain structural stability and safe and reliable operation under sustained high temperatures and pressures. Therefore, A213 is a globally accepted and designated technical specification within relevant industries.
TP316L stainless steel is a reliable choice for high-temperature applications. In addition to its excellent corrosion resistance due to its molybdenum content, it maintains exceptional mechanical strength and creep resistance even at high temperatures.
This means the tubes are less likely to permanently deform or fracture under sustained high-temperature stress, ensuring the long-term structural stability of heating furnace tubes or superheater bundles. This characteristic is crucial for the safe operation of pressure-bearing equipment throughout its design lifecycle.
TP316L seamless tubes conforming to ASTM A213 are the backbone of high-temperature heat transfer equipment. They are widely used in:
- Shell-and-tube heat exchangers in refineries and chemical plants
- Superheater and reheater bundles in power generation boilers
- Other types of fired heaters
In these critical equipment, the tubes must withstand high-temperature flue gases or flames while reliably containing the high-pressure fluids within. Their performance is directly related to the efficiency and safety of the entire process.
As a professional seamless tube manufacturer, SMLSCO has a deep understanding and rigorous control over ensuring the high-temperature performance of its products. We understand that heat treatment is a critical process that determines final performance.
Our facility is equipped with advanced heat treatment furnaces capable of precisely performing the solution annealing process specified in the ASTM A213 standard. By strictly controlling temperature and holding time, we ensure that each batch of tubes possesses the correct metallographic structure and optimal high-temperature mechanical properties.
To ensure our tubes meet the stringent requirements of high-temperature applications, we implement a comprehensive quality control system that includes:
- Routine dimensional and visual inspections
- Mechanical tests including high-temperature tensile and hardness tests
- 100% non-destructive testing (hydrostatic testing or eddy current testing)
This rigorous process guarantees that every tube delivered is defect-free before entering service, ensuring reliability in critical applications.
