ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 TP304 Stainless Steel Seamless U Bend Tube For Heat Exchanger
Stainless steel 304 is one of the most commonly used stainless steel grades, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and good formability. U bend tubes are formed into a U shape, allowing them to efficiently redirect flow in piping and tubing systems, especially used in heat exchanger, boiler, HVAC piping system, etc.
