Boiler Steel Tube
2 year ago
ASTM A178 is a specification for ERW steel pipe and carbon-manganese steel and superheater boiler steel tube. These tubes are primarily used in high-pressure applications in industries such as power generation and petrochemical. The ASTM A178 specification covers various grades and dimensions of tubes, ensuring their mechanical properties and suitability for the intended application.
Boiler Steel tube 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 carbon steel pipe 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.
