Steel Pipe & Tube & High Pressure Boiler Tube,ASTM A335(P11/P12/P22/P91/P92)、EN 10216-2、DIN 17175、GB/T 5310-2023
Detailed Description of High Pressure Boiler Tubes
High pressure boiler tubes are key pressure-bearing components for high-pressure and ultra-high pressure boilers, manufactured as seamless steel tubes. They operate long-term under working conditions of 450–650℃ and pressure ≥9.8MPa, featuring excellent creep resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance, stable metallographic structure and reliable high-pressure sealing performance.

Wall Thickness: 2.0–100mm. Heavy-wall tube: wall thickness ≥10% of outer diameter or ≥10mm
Length: 4–12m (Fixed length / Multiple length)
Dimension Tolerance: Outer diameter ±1%, wall thickness ±12.5% (High precision: ±10%)
Theoretical Weight Formula: W(kg/m) = 0.02466 × (Outer Diameter − Wall Thickness) × Wall Thickness
4. Production Process
Smelting: Electric arc furnace + LF/VD refining to ensure high purity and low impurity content.
Billet Making: Continuous casting round billet with low segregation.
Piercing: Hot rolling piercing at 1100–1250℃.
Tube Rolling: Hot rolling with ACC cooling (Grain size ≥ Grade 8) or cold rolling for high dimensional accuracy.
Heat Treatment:
20G: Normalizing at 900–930℃
15CrMoG: Normalizing + Tempering (Normalizing: 920–950℃; Tempering: 680–720℃)
12Cr1MoVG: Normalizing + Tempering (Normalizing: 950–980℃; Tempering: 720–760℃)
Finishing: Straightening, cropping, non-destructive testing, hydrostatic test, pickling & passivation, anti-rust oil coating.
