Seamless pipes are an essential component in industries where high-temperature applications are prevalent. These pipes are designed to withstand extreme heat and pressure, making them ideal for use in oil refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, and other heavy industries.
Seamless pipes for high-temperature applications adhere to strict specifications and standards to ensure their suitability for use in demanding environments. Common standards include:
Seamless pipes are used in a variety of high-temperature applications, including:
Seamless pipes for high-temperature applications are manufactured through a process that ensures a uniform structure and eliminates the need for welding, which can be a point of failure in high-temperature environments. The process typically involves:
Rigorous quality control measures are implemented to ensure the quality and safety of seamless pipes for high-temperature applications. These include:
Seamless pipes for high-temperature applications are critical in many industries due to their ability to withstand extreme conditions. By adhering to strict manufacturing processes and quality control measures, these pipes ensure reliable performance in even the most demanding environments. Understanding the specifications, manufacturing processes, and applications of seamless pipes is essential for specifying the correct materials for high-temperature applications.
High Temperature service Alloy Steel tube are known as Chrome Moly pipe.
Basically there are three types of High Temperature Steel Pipe:
Seamless Pipes For High Temperature are produced without any welding or joining, which ensures that they have a homogeneous and consistent structure that can withstand thermal expansion and contraction without being deformed or ruptured.
Seamless pipes for high temperature typically have a chemical composition that includes chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and other alloying elements that enhance their resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. The exact chemical composition depends on the specific grade and application requirements.
Seamless pipes for high temperature are commonly used in various industries such as power generation, chemical processing, oil and gas, and mechanical engineering. They are often used in applications where high-temperature steam or fluids need to be transported, such as in boilers, heat exchangers, and superheaters.
The advantages of using seamless pipes for high temperature include:
Overall, seamless pipes for high temperature are an important component of industrial piping systems, providing reliable and efficient means for transporting fluids at high temperatures and pressures.
ASTM A179, A192, A210 specification covers Carbon Steel Seamless tube for high-temperature service. These pipe are used heat exchangers, condensers, High Temperature Material should furnish to Specification A 530.

The properties of ASTM A210 steel include two common variations. This page shows summary ranges across both of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare ASTM A210 steel to: wrought carbon or non-alloy steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
ASTM A213, A209 specification covers Alloy Steel Seamless tube for high temperature service. These tube are suitable for bending and similar forming operations, and for fusion welding at high temperatures. High Temperature Alloy Steel tube are also considered as low Alloy Chrome Moly grades.
High temperature stainless steel tubing maintain their mechanical properties when exposed to elevated temperatures on either a short- or long-term basis.
High Pressure and Temperature Service Seamless Pipes are application for heating-pipelines, containers, coal-saving devices superheaters and reheaters of high temperature and high press boiler by the main standard:
Boilers with high pressure seamless pipe is an important material for manufacturing boiler pipe, the quality of how it will be directly related to the the boiler manufacture of quality so that the quality of the installation and use of quality. High pressure seamless steel quality should by steel pipe factory to make a guarantee, but in the case of short supply, the use of high-pressure supplied to the boiler manufacturers seamless steel pipe always found some quality problems, it made boiler pressure components such as water wall tubes, convection tubes, superheater tubes, heat exchanger tubes leaking or burst pipes phenomenon have occurred, has become a big problem that plagued boiler product quality, this boiler manufacturers and users are opinions.
In the case of a seller’s market, the boiler manufacturer almost assume full responsibility for the material supply side, including; how to control the quality of the boiler tube is now a boiler manufacturers are increasingly concerned about the problem, the solution is no more than two : a root-by high pressure seamless steel pressure test; another high pressure seamless implementation of 100% eddy current testing.
Excellent metal materials in accordance with the point of view of materials science, chemical composition, physical properties, geometry should be continuous, pure and uniform. If these three are deficient or damaged by a metal material, it is considered defective. If the metallic material is a discontinuity exists in geometry (i.e. does not close or not dense or non-dense), for example, cracking, shrinkage, from the skin, the dimple, layered, pinholes, slag, etc. Scar (referred to as the injury) exists that the metal material, it does not include the discontinuous chemical composition or physical properties of discontinuous.
As can be seen from here, defects contains wounded. The boiler steel smelting and rolling process in the same possible defects and injuries. According to Steel Pipe Plant, boiler tube defects (here mainly refers to the injury), mainly in the surface, more than the inner surface and the outer surface. Raw material (billets), about 70% of these defects from billet enough oxygen blowing in the slag material, shrinkage and other remnants of folders, use it rolling steel pipe there may be transverse cracks, mezzanine, folding, heavy leather defects longitudinal cracks are mostly the strain caused by the rolling. If these defects or wounds in the high pressure seamless, it appears that the material is not continuous, the compactness of the material inside the damage in the hydrostatic test, there may be leaks, made of boiler pressure parts running is likely to leak or burst pipe. Because of this, in order to ensure the quality of boiler tube, whether Chinese or foreign boiler seamless steel tubes for standard defined as a process performance guarantee, the pipe should be out by the root for hydrostatic testing.
Is generally believed that the purpose of hydrostatic testing two types: one is the hydrostatic testing of the craft, its purpose is to test materials (or components) for leaks, the sealing performance of the test material; another confirmatory hydrostatic test, the aim is to test the strength of the material (or member) whether sufficient.
From here we can see, the hydrostatic test of the boiler tube is the process of hydrostatic test, material density test, the test material is continuous and whether dense; it is not to verify the strength test. Seen from the strength of the material mechanics theory, seamless steel tubes are thin and long component, its small diameter, thin tube wall thickness thinner under a lot of pressure.
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.
