ASTM A213 T92
ASTM A213 T92 - seamless steel tube
SA213T9 is a Seamless ferritic low alloy steel boiler tube used in super heater elements, and heat exchangers.
Download PDFThese tubes are known for their high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent performance in high-temperature environments.
T9 and P9 steel pipe are included in ASTM or ASME suited for boiler superheater, reheater pipe, header and steam pipe under 600℃ in high pressure, ultra-high pressure and subcritical power station, nuclear power heat exchanger and oil cracking unit furnace pipe.
Both of them contain 9-Chromium-1 Molybdenum alloy, which offers very good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance with good high-temperature strength. Grade T9 specified in ASTM A213 which does Ferrite and Austenitic boiler superheater and heat exchanger seamless steel tube.

These different requirements provide higher creep-rupture strength than normally achievable in similar grades without these different requirements. ASTM A213 T9 tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be either hot finished or cold finished, as specified. Grade TP347HFG shall be cold finished. Heat treatment shall be done separately and in addition to heating for hot forming. The ferritic alloy and ferritic stainless steels shall be reheated. On the other hand, austenitic stainless steel tubes shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition. Alternatively, immediately after hot forming, while the temperature of the tubes is not less than the minimum solution temperature, tubes may be individually quenched in water or rapidly cooled by other means. Tension test, hardness test, flattening test, and flaring test shall be done to each tube. Also, each tube shall be subjected to the nondestructive electric test or hydrostatic test.
Grades containing the letter H have enhanced creep-rupture strength compared with non-H grades.
Typical sizes: 1/8 in. [3.2 mm] ID to 5 in. [127 mm] OD; wall thickness 0.015–0.500 in. [0.4–12.7 mm].
Definitions of terms used in this specification shall refer to ASTM A941.
Products shall conform to ASTM A1016/A1016M. In case of conflict, this specification shall prevail.
Tubes shall be made by the seamless process and supplied as hot finished or cold finished. Grade TP347HFG shall be cold finished.
Reheated for heat treatment separately from hot forming, in accordance with Table 3.
Furnished in heat-treated condition. May be direct-quenched immediately after hot forming if temperature ≥ minimum solution treatment temperature.

Identification of the chemical composition of the metal used to manufacture the fitting. Uses PMI sensors, including X-ray fluorescence or optical emission spectrometry.
Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).
| Term | Symbol | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Cold-finished/hard (cold-finished as-drawn) | BK | No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes therefore have only low deformability. |
| Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked) | BKW | After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing). With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits. |
| Annealed | GBK | After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |
| Normalized | NBK | The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |
The general cold strip mills, volume should go through continuous annealing (CAPL unit) to eliminate cold hardening and rolling stress, or batch annealing reach the mechanical properties of the corresponding standard specifies. Cold rolled steel surface quality, appearance, dimensional accuracy better than hot-rolled plate, and right-rolled thin product thickness is about 0.18mm, so the majority of users favor.
Cold rolled steel coil substrate products deep processing of high value-added products. Such as electro-galvanized, hot dip galvanized, electro-galvanized fingerprint resistant, painted steel roll damping composite steel, PVC laminating steel plates, etc., so that the excellent quality of these products has a beautiful, high resistance to corrosion, has been widely used.
Cold rolled steel coil finishing after annealing, cut the head, tail, trimming, flattening, smooth, heavy volume, or longitudinal clipboard. Cold-rolled products are widely used in automobile manufacturing, household electrical appliances, instruments, switches, buildings, office furniture and other industries. Steel plate strapping package weight of 3 to 5 tons. Flat sub-volume typically 3 to 10 tons / volume. Coil diameter 6m.
Bare packing/bundle packing/crate packing/wooden protection at the both sides of tubes and suitably protected for seaworthy delivery or as requested.
There are probably hundreds of different methods for packing a pipe, and most of them have merit, but there are two principles that are vital for any method to work: prevent rusting and sea transportation security.
Our packing can meet any needs of the customers.

Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.
Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.
Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
