What are boiler tubes and how to choose good quality boiler tubes?

Boiler tubes are a type of seamless steel tube used in boilers, steam superheaters, heat exchangers, condensers, and similar applications that require high-temperature and high-pressure service. They play a crucial role in converting water into steam in power plants and various industrial processes. Boiler tubes are designed to withstand high temperatures, pressures, and thermal stresses while efficiently transferring heat.

Production methods of boiler tubes:
① general boiler tube temperature is below 450 ℃, using hot-rolled pipe or cold drawn tube manufacture steel pipe.
② high-pressure boiler tube is used often in conditions of high temperature and high pressure pipe, the effect of high temperature flue gas and water vapor, oxidation and corrosion. Steel pipe with high rupture strength, high resistance to oxygen corrosion and have good organizational stability.

Boiler tubes purposes:
① general boiler tubes is mainly used to manufacture water wall tubes, tubes in boiling water and super heated steam pipe, super heated steam locomotive boiler tubes, large and small smoke pipe and pipe arch brick.
② high-pressure boiler tube is mainly used to manufacture high pressure and ultra-high pressure boiler super heater tubes, reheat tubes, airway, the main steam pipe.

Category:
General boiler tubes and high pressure boiler tube boiler tubes is exposed to high temperature performance. Boiler tubes in general, or high-pressure boiler tubes according to their use can be divided into a variety of steel pipe.

How to Choose Good Quality Boiler Tubes?
While choosing boiler tubes, look for the following to pick out the right and good quality tubes:

Look at the cross-section of the tube. A good quality seamless tube will have a smooth cross-section and will be devoid of bumps and irregularities.
Check the density of the pipe to understand the percentage of impurities in the pipe. If the pipe shows low density, steer clear!
Make sure you check the trademark. Reputed manufacturers always put their trademark on their seamless tubes.
Check the surface of the boiler tube. A good quality boiler tube will have a smooth surface. If you find the surface to be rough and uneven, you can be sure that the quality is not up to the mark.
