ASME SA179 covers minimum-wall-thickness, seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes for tubular heat exchangers, condensers, and similar heat transfer apparatus.
Manufacturing Process
Cold Drawing: SA179 tubes are manufactured through a cold-drawing process, which ensures precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, and improved mechanical properties.
Heat Treatment: Optional annealing may be performed to enhance ductility and reduce hardness.
Key Features
High dimensional accuracy
Excellent surface finish
Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature environments
Advantages
Efficient heat transfer
Suitable for mild corrosive environments.
Affordable compared to stainless steel or alloy tubes.
Can be easily bent, welded, or machined. (U bend tubes usually for heat exchnagers)
Applications
Heat Exchangers
Condensers
Boilers
Evaporators and Coolers
Other Heat Transfer Equipment
