ASTM A178 ERW Steel Boiler Tube – Economical & Reliable
Product Overview
ASTM A178 / ASME SA178 covers electric-resistance-welded (ERW) carbon steel tubes for boilers, boiler flues, superheater flues, and safe ends.
Heat treated after welding for weld integrity. A cost-effective alternative to seamless boiler tubes.
Grades: Grade A (Low Carbon) | Grade C (Medium Carbon) | Grade D (Carbon-Manganese)
✅ 100% hydrostatic or NDT tested
✅ Mill test certificate EN 10204 3.1 provided
✅ Factory direct | ERW specialist
