FAQs about ASTM A213 Alloy Steel Tubes
What is ASTM A213?
ASTM A213 covers seamless ferritic and austenitic steel boiler, superheater and heat-exchanger tubes, the grades are T5, TP304 etc. Grades using the letter, H, in their specification designations have all different requirements than grades that do not use the letter, H.
What size tube is ASTM A213?
The tubing sizes and thicknesses that ASTM A213 covers and that manufacturers usually furnish to this specification, is 1/8 inch [3.2 mm] in inside diameter to 5 inch [127 mm] in outside diameter and thicknesses of 0.015 to 0.500 inch [0.4 to 12.7 mm] inclusive, in minimum wall thickness or if specified in the order of average wall thickness.
What is SA 213 tube material?
The SA213 grade covers ferritic and austenitic Stainless Steel material. Our Stainless Steel 304 Seamless Tube is great for boilers, heat exchangers, condensers and in super heaters.
What are the main advantages of using ASTM A213 alloy steel tubes?
Key advantages include:

- A range of grades to optimize performance and cost for specific conditions.
What kind of heat treatment do ASTM A213 T-grade tubes undergo?
All ASTM A213 Alloy Steel Tubing undergoes specific heat treatments as mandated by the standard for each T-grade. This typically involves processes like full annealing, isothermal annealing, or normalizing and tempering to achieve the desired microstructure and mechanical properties for optimal high-temperature performance.
What is the typical size range for ASTM A213 alloy steel tubing?
The standard covers tubes from 1/8 inch (3.2mm) inside diameter up to 5 inches (127mm) outside diameter, with wall thicknesses from 0.015 inches (0.4mm) to 0.500 inches (12.7mm). Amardeep Steel Centre can supply these standard sizes and often accommodate requests for larger ODs or heavier wall thicknesses.

What's the difference between ASTM A213 tubes and ASTM A335 pipes?
Both ASTM A213 and ASTM A335 cover seamless ferritic alloy steel for high-temperature service. However, ASTM A213 is primarily for tubes (often used inside equipment like boilers and heat exchangers, typically specified by OD and wall thickness), while ASTM A335 is for pipes (generally used for conveying fluids between equipment, often specified by nominal pipe size (NPS) and schedule). There can be overlap in chemistry (e.g., A213 T22 and A335 P22 have similar compositions).
