ASTM/ASME A/SA668/213 TP304 Seamless and (Welded) Re-drawn U-bent Tubes Stainless Steel Feed Water Heater

U Bend Tube are manufactured in our plant as per the customer requirements. Solution annealing after bend will be process to lower the risidual stress, and followed by hydrostatic testing and dye penetrant testing if required.

Inch to mm Chart

Dimensional tolerances U Bend Tube acc. to TEMA R.C.B.

1) U Bend Pipe Length of straight part -0/+5 mm
Flattening (also called “ovality”) at the bend shall not exceed 10% of the nominal tube outside diameter.
Wall thickness in bending part acc. to TEMA R.C.B 2.31

2) U Bend Tube Minimum tube wall thickness in the bend part (T min)T(min) ≥ (SW × (2×R + D))/( 2× (R+D)
where: SW is smallest wall thickness
D Nominal outside diameter
R radius

3) U Bend Tube Radius tolerance
1) for R 100 mm +/- 3 mm
2) for R ≥ 100 mm +/- 5 mm

4). U bend Pipe Straightness tolerance max. 1,5 mm per 1 m
U Bend Tube ends: plain, vertically cut to the tube axis

U Bend Tube OD in mm can be bent upon agreement: 15.8 16.0 17.0 18.0 19.05 20.0 21.3 25.4 26.7 31.8 32.0 38.1mm
