SA213 T91 Tubes are in our stock normally Cold Drawn Seamless (CDS) T91 tubes, consistent mechanical T91 tubes and Hot Finished Seamless (HFS) T91 tubes, in a wide scope of sizes up to 100mm divider thickness.

The SA213 T91 Tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger. It is also an 9Cr-1Mo-V alloy steel with UNS designation K90901. Compared to its equivalent ASTM A335 P91, the chemical composition requirement of T91 steel is slightly different.

Grade T91 is a new ferritic alloy heat resistant steel developed based on grade T9 steel through the process of pure purification, fine crystallization metallurgy, microalloying and controlled rolling. The steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties, good welding properties and good process properties, suitable for high-temperature compression parts of the material.

Sunny Steel is a leading seamless steel tube supplier and manufacturer, we supply ASTM A213 Grade T91 and ASME SA T91 alloy steel pipe and their equivalent material for boiler systems in various sizes and specifications.

ASTM A213 T91 and ASTM A335 P91

Grade T91 specified in ASTM A213 which do Ferrite and Austenitic boiler superheater and heat exchanger seamless steel tube while grade P91 specified in ASTM A335 do Ferritic and alloy seamless steel tube intended for high-temperature service. Grade T91 and P91 steel pipes have a similar chemical composition and mechanical properties. As for their difference, we can say that they have been substituted for another one when the same purpose.

What is the material of T91 tube?

The SA 213 T91 Tube is composed with a chemical composition of chromium, carbon, manganese, nickel, silicon molybdenum, nitrogen, and a few other trace elements. These tubes possess excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance properties due to the SA213 T91 material used in their production.

What is the standard specification of ASTM A213 tubing?

ASTM A213 tubing sizes and thicknesses usually furnished to this specification are 1⁄8 in. [3.2 mm] in inside diameter to 5 in. [127 mm] in outside diameter and 0.015 to 0.500 in. [0.4 to 12.7 mm], inclusive, in minimum wall thickness or, if specified in the order, average wall thickness.

What is ASTM A213 material?

What Is ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 Tubing? ASTM A213 tubing is seamless ferritic steel and austennitic alloy SS (stainless steel) tubing used in boilers for super heaters, and heat exchangers. ASTM A213 is available in multiple grades.

What is the difference between P91 and T91 material?

P91 and T91 are both high-temperature ferritic-martensitic steels commonly used in power plant components like boilers, steam pipes, and pressure vessels. They have similar chemical compositions and mechanical properties, but there are some differences between the two materials.

  1. Manufacturing process: P91 is a modified version of T91 steel. The manufacturing process of P91 involves more strict heat treatment techniques and stricter quality control measures compared to T91.
  2. Strength: P91 steel has a higher yield strength and tensile strength compared to T91 steel. This makes P91 more suitable for high-pressure applications where strength is crucial.
  3. Creep resistance: Both P91 and T91 exhibit excellent creep resistance at elevated temperatures. However, due to the modified manufacturing process, P91 has slightly better creep resistance than T91.
  4. Fabricability: T91 steel has better fabricability compared to P91 steel. It is easier to weld and form T91 components compared to P91 components.
  5. Cost: P91 steel is generally more expensive compared to T91 steel due to the additional manufacturing processes and quality control measures involved.

In summary, P91 and T91 are very similar materials with slight differences in terms of strength, creep resistance, fabricability, and cost. The choice between the two materials depends on the specific application requirements and cost considerations.

Application of SA213 T91 Tubes:

Allowable service temperature: ASTM A213 T91 alloy steel pipe is mainly used for manufacturing high temperature superheater, reheater and other pressure parts of subcritical and supercritical power plant boilers with metal wall temperature not exceeding 625 ° C, and also for pressure vessels and nuclear power high temperature pressure parts.

Application of T / P91 boiler pipe in petrochemical industry: T / P91 can be used to replace T / P22 and T / P5 tubes in distillation, cracking units and refineries because of its good high temperature mechanical properties and high temperature hydrogen resistance. Moreover, t / P91 is more suitable for boilers in sulfur rich environment than t / P22 and T / P5. Generally speaking, P91 pipe with pipe diameter greater than 168mm and T91 pipe with pipe diameter less than or equal to 168mm belong to the same steel type, and the requirements for chemical composition and mechanical properties are the same.

Why the application of alloy steel pipe is wider than others

There are many kinds of materials used for transport in industrial production. Specifically we will have more choices and it is not limited to the use of alloy steel pipe. But even in the face of more choices, many people tend to choose alloy steel pipe. People make their own choices will have their own reasons. This means the alloy steel pipe application has its own advantages. Compared with transmission lines made of other materials, after it meets the basic application requirements, its quantity is lighter. Then in the practical application of alloy steel pipe, it will have more advantages because of this. Besides its physical characteristic advantage, it also has economic advantages. The wide application of alloy steel pipe is with kinds of reasons. So in practical usage, we can exploit the advantages to the full, in this way can we get more profits in these applications of alloy steel pipe.

What requirements should alloy steel pipe application meet

The transportation of kinds of gases or liquids in production needs to rely on alloy steel pipe. This shows that the actual role of alloy steel pipe application is important. High temperature resistant and low temperature resistant is the tolerance of temperature. In the practical application of alloy steel pipe, there will be many materials need to be transported. However their temperatures are not the same. So this can be the basic requirement to alloy steel pipe. It needs more corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistant material is the best material during transporting, because it is corrosion resistant. So it can be used in more occasions. And it is definitely very convenient for users.

Delivery

Steel pipe delivery status(condition)

Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).

Condition on delivery of steel pipe

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.

Steel strips bunding for fixed pipes

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.

The most important and desired changes in alloy steel are

Alloy steels are made by combining carbon steel with one or several alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum. These metals are added to produce specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel. The elements are added in varying proportions (or combinations) making the material take on different aspects such as increased hardness, increased corrosion resistance, increased strength, improved formability (ductility); the weldability can also change.
