About Heat Exchanger Tubes ASTM A179

At AIMC, we deal in good quality ASTM A179 Heat Exchanger Tubes which are made from the finest and most superior raw materials which we source from our local vendors. The ASTM A179 is a standard which covers specifications for the A179 Tube material in terms of its minimum wall thickness. Typically, these seamless cold drawn, low carbon alloyed steel tubes are meant for use in the form of any of the following apparatus i.e. - tubular A179 Heat Exchanger Tube, condensers, as well as other similar heat transfer models. The ASTM A179 Tubing material is to be produced by the seamless process. In addition to being seamless, these ASTM A179 Heat Exchanger Tubes have to be cold drawn as well. Because the ASTM specified A179 Boiler Tube has a lower alloying content, the cost of these low carbon steel tubes is lesser in comparison to alternate steel grades.

Precision Tubing for Demanding Environments

ASTM A179 heat exchanger tubes are engineered for optimal heat transfer efficiency and enduring performance in critical industrial environments. Their strict concentricity, customizable sizes, and superior surface finish, including bright annealed or oiled options, make them ideal for condensers, heat exchangers, and boilers. Each tube undergoes rigorous hydrostatic testing and surface treatments for enhanced corrosion resistance, supporting long-term, reliable use in high-temperature applications.

Advanced Manufacturing and Quality Standards

Produced using cold drawn seamless technology, ASTM A179 tubes achieve a high level of dimensional accuracy, low straightness tolerance (0.15 mm per meter), and smooth internal surfaces, crucial for efficient thermal conductivity. The annealed, passivated, and cold finished delivery options further strengthen their structural consistency and resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses, ensuring suitability for critical heat exchanger setups.

FAQs of Heat Exchanger Tubes ASTM A179:

Q: How are ASTM A179 heat exchanger tubes manufactured?

A: ASTM A179 heat exchanger tubes are produced using a cold drawn seamless process, enhancing their strength, dimensional accuracy, and smoothness. Post-manufacture, they are annealed, cold finished, and often passivated for added durability and corrosion resistance.

Q: What are the available end finishes for these tubes?

A: These tubes can be supplied with plain, beveled, grooved, or custom finishes according to order requirements, allowing easy integration into diverse heat exchanger or condenser systems.

Q: When should the tubes undergo hydrostatic testing?

A: All ASTM A179 tubes are hydrostatically tested up to pressures of 13.8 MPa (2000 psi) during production to verify structural integrity and leak-proof performance before shipment.

Q: Where can these tubes be used?

A: They are primarily used in heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, and similar thermal transfer equipment across industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, and industrial processing.

Q: What are the main benefits of using ASTM A179 tubes?

A: These tubes provide excellent thermal conductivity, high concentricity for even heat flow, reliable corrosion resistance, and the flexibility of custom dimensions, making them ideal for sensitive and demanding applications.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for these tubes?

A: The minimum order quantity is negotiable, with flexible options available to accommodate both small projects and large-scale industrial orders.

Q: How are the tubes packaged for delivery and export?

A: Tubes are carefully packed in wooden cases or bundled with plastic caps and wrapping to prevent damage during transportation, ensuring they reach customers in optimal condition worldwide.
