ASTM A249 TP304 SS Welded Bright Annealed Boiler Tube
ASTM A249 is the standard specification for welded austenitic steel pipe used in applications such as boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, and condensers.
GNEE is a professional supplier of welded stainless steel pipe, offering high-quality ASTM A249 TP304 stainless steel pipe. We export to over 60 countries annually and have received consistent praise.GNEE's ASTM A249 TP304 stainless steel bright annealed pipe is manufactured using a bright annealing process (controlled atmosphere annealing followed by surface polishing) to achieve an excellent surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm). The pipe has a bright, reflective appearance, is aesthetically pleasing, and easy to clean.
Standard outside diameters for ASTM A249 TP304 bright annealed heat exchanger pipe range from 6.0 to 114.3 mm, with wall thicknesses from 0.5 to 3.0 mm. The outside diameter tolerance is ±0.10 mm, and the wall thickness tolerance is ±10%. These tubes also offer short-term oxidation resistance up to 870°C and continuous operating temperatures up to 425°C, making them ideal for high-performance heat exchanger applications.
