Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Tube for Tubular Feed Water Heaters

Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel Feedwarter Heater Tube

ASTM A688 specification covers welded austenitic stainless steel feedwater heater tubes including those bent, if specified, into the form of U-tubes for application in tubular feed-water heaters. Welded feedwater heater tube sizes covered shall be 5 ⁄8 to 1 in. [15.9 to 25.4 mm] inclusive outside diameter, and average or minimum wall thicknesses of 0.028 in. [0.7 mm] and heavier.ASTM A688 stainless steel welded feedwater heater tube shall be made from flat-rolled steel by an automatic welding process with no addition of filler metal. We have most reputed name as a ASTM A688 316 welded stainless steel feedwater heater tube supplier.ASTM A688 welded Square and rectangular tube shall be marked with the heat  number. ASTM A688 304 welded tube is commonly shipped without protective coating. If special protection is needed, details shall be specified in the order. ASTM A688 welded rectangular tube yield strength corresponding to a permanent offset of 0.2 % of the gage length of the specimen or to a total extension of 0.5 % of the gage length under load shall be determined. Our offered ASTM A688 ss welded tubes primarily consist of the austenitic grades of stainless steel including 304, 304, 316, 316L, 316Ti with annealed and pickled, bright annealed mill finish, polished finish.
