ASME SA423 Grade 1 ERW Tubes High-Pressure Carbon Steel Tubing Seamless Equivalent

ASME SA423 Grade 1 Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Tubes

Our ASME SA423 Grade 1 ERW Tubes are manufactured to the stringent requirements of the ASME Boiler

and Pressure Vessel Code, Section II. This grade represents a cost-effective, high-performance carbon steel

solution specifically designed for high-temperature and high-pressure service in boilers, superheaters, and

heat exchangers. The Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) process ensures excellent dimensional consistency

and a reliable, homogenous weld seam, making Grade 1 ERW tubes a proven equivalent alternative to seamless

tubes in many demanding applications. Strict quality control guarantees compliance with all chemical, mechanical,

and dimensional specifications.

Grade 1 Material Composition: Precise Chemistry for Performance

The controlled chemical composition of ASME SA423 Grade 1 is fundamental to its weldability, formability, and strength at elevated temperatures. The typical analysis is shown below:
