ASTM A179 Boiler Tube,RHS section,Hollow section,A53 steel pipe

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 A179 covers minimum-wall thickness, seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes for tubular, heat exchanger, condensers, and other heat transfer services.

ASTM A 179 steel tube is supplied and produced by cold drawning method.

Chemical composition contains carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur.

Test required: hardness test, flattening test, flaring test, flange test, and hydrostatic test.
