ASTM A213/A213M Standard Specification for Seamless Ferritic and Austenitic Alloy-Steel Boiler, Superheater, and Heat-Exchanger Tubes
Download PDFASTM A213/A213M specification covers seamless ferritic and austenitic steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes. Grades containing the letter H in their designation have requirements different from those of similar grades not containing the letter H. These different requirements provide higher creep-rupture strength than normally achievable in similar grades without these different requirements. The 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.
1. Surface state
Austenitic steel pipe should be washed to remove the scale, when the use of bright annealing, you do not need pickling.
2. Chemical analysis of finished products
It shall be analyzed from one billet or one pipe per furnace, and the chemical composition determined accordingly shall meet the specified requirements.
3. Mechanical test and grain size
(1) Tensile test:Such as each batch of steel pipe ≤ 50 root, then take a sample for tensile test; each batch of steel pipe> 50, then two steel pipes should take two samples for tensile test.
(2) Flattening test: in each batch of a finished tube at both ends of each sample to take a flattening test, but the root can not used as a flaring sample.
(3) Flaring test: in each batch of a finished tube at both ends of a sample for a flaring test, but the root canal can not be used as a flattening sample.
(4) Hardness test: from each batch of two tubes on the sample to do Brinell or Rockwell hardness test.
(5) Water pressure test: each pipe should be hydrostatic test. When the buyer is specified, a non-destructive test may be used instead.
(6) Grain size: according to ASME E112 standard test.
ASTM A213/A213M -17 Standard Specification for Seamless Ferritic and Austenitic Alloy-Steel Boiler, Superheater, and Heat-Exchanger Tubes. This specification covers seamless ferritic and austenitic steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes. Grades containing the letter H in their designation have requirements different from those of similar grades not containing the letter H. These different requirements provide higher creep-rupture strength than normally achievable in similar grades without these different requirements. The 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. This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard.

ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
ASTM A213/A213M is a standard specification that outlines the requirements for seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes. These tubes are used in high-temperature environments, such as in power plants and industrial processes, where durability and resistance to heat and pressure are critical.
ASTM A213/A213M tubes are essential components for applications requiring high strength, durability, and resistance to heat and pressure. Their versatility and reliability make them a preferred choice in various industrial sectors, particularly in power generation and heat transfer applications.
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.

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.
