ASTM A213 TP316H Stainless Steel Boiler Tube

ASTM A213 TP316H stainless steel pipe is a high-quality stainless steel pipe specially used for boilers and other pressure purposes. ‌ With excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature strength, it is especially suitable for use in harsh environments‌.
The main characteristics of TP316H stainless steel boiler tube supplied by GNEE include:
‌Corrosion resistance‌: Due to the molybdenum element, TP316H stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, especially against chloride stress corrosion cracking.
‌High temperature strength‌: It can still maintain high creep and stress rupture strength at high temperatures, suitable for high temperature working environment.
‌Processing performance‌: It has good weldability and machinability, which is easy to manufacture and install.

GNEE is a Chinese manufacturer of stainless steel tubing. We supply seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy steel boiler, superheater, and heat exchanger tubes conforming to ASTM A213 standards, widely used in various industries. In addition to 321/321H stainless steel, we also offer 304/304L, 316/316L, 347/347H, 904L, and duplex stainless steel. 317/317L seamless tubes are manufactured from stainless steel billets through cold drawing and cold rolling processes, followed by heat treatment and other procedures to produce seamless tubes according to specifications. For specific applications, we can provide U-bent tubes and bright annealed finished tubes upon request.

 

ASTM A213 TP321/TP321H seamless boiler tubes are available in a full range of specifications, including various diameter and wall thickness combinations. Common specifications include Ф12-3, Ф14-4, Ф36-8, Ф40-8, Ф80-16, etc. These specifications represent a diameter range of 12 mm to 80 mm and a wall thickness range of 1 mm to 16 mm.

What standards does ASTM A213 TP316H meet?
ASTM A213 / A213M – Standard for seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes
ASME SA213 – Used in boiler and pressure vessel design
Other certifications: ISO, EN 10216-5, and customer-specific standards can be supplied.
Can TP316H tubes be welded?
Yes, but preheating and post-weld heat treatment may be necessary in some high-temperature applications to avoid sensitization.
Tip: For applications requiring both weldability and corrosion resistance, 316L is often preferred, but for high-temp strength, 316H is the right choice.
