Carbon Steel A179 U Bend Boiler Tube In Super Heater And Economizer

ASTM A179 U Bend Boiler Tube Application

• Used as a condenser in power plants to condense steam into water and improve heat cycle efficiency. Suitable for boiler feed water heater and low pressure heater.
• Petrochemical industry: Heat exchangers used in refineries to handle oil cooling or heating processes.Suitable for coolers and condensers in chemical equipment.
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Heat exchange components for chillers, heat pumps and air conditioning systems. Performs well at low temperatures.
• The food and beverage industry. For pasteurization equipment, coolers and heaters. Because of its smooth surface, easy to clean, in line with health standards.
• Shipbuilding: Used in condensers and heat exchangers for ships, dealing with seawater or fresh water cooling.
• Industrial manufacturing: Suitable for compressed air cooler, hydraulic oil cooler and other industrial equipment.

ASTM A179 U Bend Boiler Tube Strength

• Excellent thermal conductivity: The A179 heat exchange tube is made of low carbon steel with high thermal conductivity, which can transfer heat quickly and significantly improve heat exchange efficiency.
• Good corrosion resistance:Although the A179 is not made of high alloy steel, it performs well in non-corrosive environments such as fresh water or steam. Through proper maintenance, its service life can be extended.
• Weldability: Low carbon steel material makes it easy to weld, suitable for a variety of connection methods.
• Formability: cold drawing process makes its surface smooth, high dimensional accuracy, easy to bend and form.
• Compatibility: Can be used with a variety of tubular materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel).
• economical: At a lower cost than high-alloy or stainless steel heat exchange tubes, the A179 is suitable for applications where efficient heat exchange is required on a limited budget.
• High strength and durability: The cold drawing process improves the mechanical strength of the pipe, so that it can withstand certain pressure and mechanical stress.

ASTM A179 U Bend Boiler Tube FAQ

1. Is the A179 U-tube suitable for corrosive environments?
   Not recommended. The A179 is made of mild steel with limited corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in non-corrosive environments such as fresh water or steam. In corrosive environments (such as seawater or acidic media), stainless steel or copper alloys are recommended.
2. How to clean A179 U-type heat exchange tube?
   Chemical cleaning: Use acid or alkaline cleaning agent to dissolve the scale in the tube, and rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Mechanical cleaning: Use scrub or high pressure water gun to remove deposits in the tube. Regular maintenance: It is recommended to develop a cleaning plan according to the use situation to prevent scaling from affecting the heat transfer efficiency.
3. How long is the life of A179 U-type heat exchange tube?
   The life depends on the use environment, maintenance and operating conditions. Under good maintenance, the A179 U-tube can be used for more than 10 years. Life may be shortened in corrosive or high-temperature environments.
4. Can I customize the size of A179 U-type heat exchange tube?
   Agreed. The A179 U-shaped heat exchange tube can be customized according to customer requirements, external diameter, wall thickness, length and bending radius. Common size ranges are: Outer diameter: 6 mm to 50.8 mm), Wall thickness: 0.5 mm to 15 mm), U-shaped bending radius: customized according to design requirements.
