ASTM A213 T9,Alloy Steel Seamless Tube,Boiler,Superheater,Heat Exchanger
Overview
ASTM A213 T9 is a specification from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) that pertains to seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes. The T9 designation refers to the specific grade or alloy composition.This specification defines the chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment requirements, and other technical aspects of the T9 alloy steel tubes. It is commonly used in high-temperature applications such as power plants, refineries, and petrochemical industries.The T9 alloy steel has excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance properties, making it suitable for operating temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F). It offers good tensile strength, high yield strength, and toughness.
