Carbon Steel Boiler Tube ASME SA179 For Chemical Processing Industry

ASME SA179 tubes are cold drawn, meaning they are extruded through a die at room temperature to achieve the desired dimensions. This process improves the mechanical properties of the tube. The tubes may undergo heat treatment (such as annealing) to relieve internal stresses and improve properties like ductility.Carbon steel is generally more affordable compared to other alloyed materials like stainless steel or copper alloys, making SA179 tubes a cost-effective choice for many applications.

ASME SA179 Carbon Steel Boiler Tube is a cold-drawn, seamless tube designed for use in low-pressure and high-temperature applications like boilers and heat exchangers. It offers good thermal conductivity, strength, and durability at an economical price point.
