ASTM A210/ ASME SA210 Gr. A1 Seamless Medium-Carbon Steel tube for Boiler (Minimum Wall)
ASTM A210 / ASME SA210 Grade A1 Seamless Medium-Carbon Steel Boiler Tube (Minimum Wall) is a seamless steel tube specifically designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications in boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers. It is made of medium-carbon steel, offering good strength, weldability, and resistance to oxidation. The "Minimum Wall" designation ensures the tube meets the thinnest permissible wall thickness as per the standard, optimizing heat transfer efficiency while maintaining structural integrity under operational stress.
