High-temperature Service
En 10216-2 seamless steel tubes deliver superior strength, heat resistance, and pressure durability for demanding boiler and heat exchanger systems.
EN 10216-2 Seamless Steel Tubes are high-quality non-alloy and alloy steel tubes designed for pressure purposes under elevated temperature conditions, offering excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. Conforming to the EN 10216-2 standard, these seamless steel tubes are engineered for applications such as boiler tubes, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels in industries like power generation, petrochemicals, and oil and gas. Available in grades like P195GH, P235GH, P265GH, 16Mo3, 13CrMo4-5, and 10CrMo9-10, they provide robust mechanical properties for high-temperature environments up to 450°C.
Manufactured through seamless processes, EN 10216-2 Seamless Steel Tubes can be hot or cold finished, followed by heat treatments like normalizing or normalizing plus tempering to optimize their microstructure for strength and toughness. Available in outer diameters from 10.2mm to 711mm and wall thicknesses from 1.6mm to 100mm, with lengths fixed (6m, 9m, 12m, 24m) or random (5-12m), they meet diverse project specifications. Surface treatments like varnishing, 3LPE, or FBE coatings enhance corrosion resistance, while plain, beveled, or threaded ends ensure easy integration into industrial piping systems.
The Seamless Steel Tube undergoes rigorous testing, including chemical analysis, tensile tests at elevated temperatures, impact tests, and leak-tightness tests (hydrostatic or electromagnetic), to ensure compliance with EN 10216-2 standards for test categories TC1 and TC2. With tensile strengths ranging from 360-700 MPa (e.g., P235GH: 360-500 MPa) and minimum yield strengths from 195-265 MPa, these tubes offer reliable performance in high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Their corrosion resistance and ability to withstand thermal stress make them ideal for transporting hot liquids and gases in boiler tubes and heat exchangers.
Compatible with fittings and flanges conforming to standards like EN 10253-2 or ASTM A234, EN 10216-2 Seamless Steel Tubes integrate seamlessly into complex industrial piping networks. Their versatility extends to applications in power plants, chemical processing, and mechanical engineering, where high-temperature strength and durability are critical. Compared to EN 10216-1 tubes, these tubes are optimized for elevated temperatures, offering superior performance in demanding environments like petrochemical plants and boiler systems.
Engineered to address challenges like thermal expansion and corrosion in high-temperature systems, EN 10216-2 Seamless Steel Tubes provide a reliable, durable solution for engineers seeking high-performance boiler tubes and industrial piping. Their seamless construction ensures enhanced pressure-bearing capacity, making them indispensable for safety-critical applications in power generation and industrial processes.
