Application: Boilers, heat exchangers, super heaters, condensers

Production Standard, Grade, Steel No:
ASTM A688/A688M-Welded Austentic Steel Feedwater Heater Tubes.
ASTM A 312/213/269,DIN 17458/2462,BS3605/1,JIS, ASME SA556G3429/3459,ISO1129/2037/9329,GB/T14975/14976/13296 and so on.

Material:
TP304,TP304L,TP316,TP316L,TP321,TP310S,TP347H,TP316Ti, Carbon steel, alloysand so on.
 
Length: unbending length or fix length
Mill test certificate: according to EN 10204 3.2
 
Features :
  • 'U' bending is done by cold working process.
  • 'U' bending is done to the required radius as per customer drawings.
  • The bend portion and six inch leg is stress relieved by resistance heating.
  • Inert gas (Argon) is passed through it at the required flow rate to avoid oxidation in ID.
  • The radius is checked for its OD and wall thinning with the recommended specification.
  • The physical properties and micro-structure is checked at three different position.
  • Visual inspection for waviness and cracks is done with Dye Penetrant Test.
  • Each tube is then hydro tested at the recommended pressure to check for leakage.
  • Cotton ball test is done to check the ID cleanliness of the tube.
  • Thereafter pickled, dried, marked and packed.
