ASTM A249 TP 316 Tube is a notch stainless steel tube that is well known for its impressive tensile strength and material durability. In terms of structure, it contains elements like chromium (16 18%), nickel ( 11 14%), molybdenum (2 3%), and a significant portion of iron. The presence of chromium and nickel in these quantities enhances the ability of the tube to resist corrosion, while molybdenum further strengthens its resistance against conditions.
SA 249 Tp 316 tubes are available in a variety of sizes and dimensions customized to meet the requirements of different industries. They come in diameters and wall thicknesses, which makes them extremely versatile. However, it's important to note that costs may vary depending on these dimensions, such as international steel market prices. Despite the costs involved, their durability and long-term efficiency often result in a significant return on investment for many industrial applications.
One key characteristic of these tubes is their strength and mechanical properties. They exhibit tensile strength and excellent resistance to stress rupture properties even at elevated temperatures. This unique feature, combined with ductility and formability, makes A249 316 Welded Tubes a choice when design pressure plays a crucial role in the application.
Furthermore, their robust structural stability allows them to bear weight without deformation.
What sets ASTM A249 316 Erw Tubing apart is their resistance to corrosion and temperature. They remain resistant to corrosion after welding or stress relieving, making them highly suitable for various corrosive environments. These tubes maintain their properties at high temperatures of up to approximately 870°C, making them a reliable choice for applications in heat exchangers, boilers, condensers, and other high-temperature settings.
In terms of usage, industries such as petrochemicals, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and food processing rely heavily on the versatility of ASTM A249 TP 316 Tubes. Moreover, these tubes are widely used in the production of high-performance equipment like heaters, heat exchangers, and condensers.
At New Eagle Industrial Corporation, the utmost care is taken during the packaging and handling process to ensure that these tubes remain undamaged during transportation. They are typically packaged in boxes or bundles, with attention given to maintaining their shape and structural integrity from manufacturing all the way through installation.
