Boiler tubing is used in these industries:

steam Boilers
Power Generation

Fossil Fuel Plants

Electric Power Plants
Industrial Processing Plants

Cogeneration Facilities

Boiler tubes need to withstand high pressure and temperature.


ASTM A178 tubes are a kind of frequently-used tubes in our life, they are mainly used in manufacturing heating pipelines, containers, coal-saving devices, superheaters, arch superheated tube, airway tube etc.
