ASTM A213 Seamless Alloy Steel Pipe Overview

We manufacture high-quality ASTM A213 seamless alloy steel tubes, in accordance with the ASTM A213 Standard Specification for seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes. It has excellent high-temperature, corrosion, and pressure resistance, making it ideal for high-temperature, high-pressure environments like boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers.

We specialize in manufacturing various types of seamless pipes, including precision tubes, heat exchanger tubes, petroleum cracking pipes, nuclear power pipes, and marine seamless pipes. We also offer pipe fittings such as bend, elbow, flanges, tees, etc. We have an advanced physical and chemical testing center and has established a comprehensive quality assurance system based on international and domestic standards, including ASME/ASTM (USA), JIS (Japan), DIN (Germany), EN (EU), and GB/NB (China). Feel free to contact us.

ASTM A213 Seamless Alloy Steel Pipe Scope

This standard covers seamless ferritic and austenitic steel tubes used in boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers, including grades such as T5 and TP304. The pipe sizes range from an inside diameter of 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) to an outside diameter of 5 inches (127 mm), with wall thicknesses from 0.015 to 0.500 inches (0.4 to 12.7 mm). Custom sizes are also available upon request. Special requirements: Grades that include an “h” in their designation have different specifications compared to those without the “h”, offering superior creep rupture strength.
