ASTM A213 TP316/ TP316L Tubes

Material Grades & Specifications

Seamless tubes made of ASTM A213 Grade TP316 or Grade TP316L are generally used for the construction of boilers, superheaters or heat exchangers. They are also know as TP316/ TP316L boiler tubes, superheater tubes, or heat exchanger tubes. The UNS designations of ASTM A213 TP316 and TP316L are S31600 and S31603, respectively, with the P number of 8. Compared to TP304/ TP304L tubes, TP316/ TP316L tubes have enhanced pitting corrosion resistance in chloride environments due to the addition of molybdenum.

Seamless tubes made of ASTM A213 Gr. TP316, bright annealed, 1/2″(o.d) x 0.049“(w.t) x 175″(l).

Sizes: inside diameter ≥ 0.125″ and outside diameter ≤ 5″; wall thickness (minimum or average): 0.015″~0.500″; length: specific or random; heat treatment: solution treatment (at minimum 1900°F/1040°C) + quench; cold drawn or hot rolled; bright annealed or pickled.
