ASTM A209 Grade T1 Seamless Steel Tubes covers minimum-wall-thickness, seamless, carbon-molybdenum alloy-steel,boiler and superheater tubes.The tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be either hot-finished or cold-finished,as specified
Standard Specification for Seamless Carbon-Molybdenum Alloy-Steel Boiler and Superheater Tubes
ASTM A209 Grade T1 Seamless Steel Tubes covers minimum-wall-thickness, seamless, carbon-molybdenum alloy-steel,boiler and superheater tubes.
ASTM A209 Grade T1 Seamless Carbon-Molybdenum Alloy-Steel Boiler and Superheater Tubes covers tubes 1 ⁄ 2 to 5 in. [12.7 to 127mm] inclusive, in outside diameter and 0.035 to 0.500 in. [0.9 to 12.7 mm], inclusive, in minimum wall thickness.
Manufacture:Seamless process ,Hot-finished or Cold-finished
Wall thickness(WT): 0.9 mm——12.7 mm.
Outer diameter (OD): 12.7 mm——127 mm
Length: 6M or specified length as required.
Ends: Plain End, Beveled End, Threaded
Materials and Manufacture
The steel shall be killed.
The tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be either hot-finished or cold-finished, as specified.
HeatTreatment
Hot-finished tubes shall be heat treated at a temperature of 1200 °F [650 °C] or higher.
Cold-finished tubes shall, after the final cold finishing, be heat treated at a temperature of 1200 °F [650 °C] or higher, or tubing may be furnished in the full-annealed, isothermal annealed, or normalized and tempered condition.
