ASTM A213 T11 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe / Tube

Product Description

ASTM A213 T11 alloy steel pipe is a chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy seamless tube manufactured in accordance with ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 standards, specifically designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Thanks to its excellent creep resistance, oxidation resistance, and thermal stability, T11 alloy steel tubes are widely used in boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, and power generation systems.

Compared with carbon steel tubes, ASTM A213 T11 alloy steel seamless pipes offer superior mechanical strength and longer service life under elevated temperature conditions, making them a reliable choice for critical industrial applications.

Womic supplies high-quality ASTM A213 T11 pipes with strict quality control, ensuring consistent performance and compliance with international standards.

 


 

Common Grades in ASTM A213 Standard

The ASTM A213 standard covers a wide range of alloy steel and stainless steel tube grades commonly used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications.

Typical and widely used grades include:

Alloy Steel Grades: T9, T11, T12, T21, T22, T91

Stainless Steel Grades: TP304, TP304L, TP316, TP316L

These grades are specifically designed to meet different service requirements related to temperature resistance, pressure strength, corrosion resistance, and mechanical performance.

 

ASTM A213 Standard – Scope of Application

According to ASTM specifications, ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 applies to seamless ferritic and austenitic steel tubes intended for use in:

Boilers

Superheaters

Heat exchangers

Reheaters

High-temperature pressure systems

The specification includes both alloy steel grades (such as T5, T9, T11, T22, T91) and austenitic stainless steel grades (such as TP304, TP316), as detailed in Table 1 and Table 2 of the standard.

 

Tube Size Range

 

ASTM A213 tubing is manufactured in a broad range of dimensions to suit various industrial applications:

OD: 1/8” to 16”. 3.2mm to 406mm

WT: 0.015” to 0.500”, 0.4mm to 12.7mm

For projects requiring non-standard sizes, tubes may be supplied upon request. Customers can specify custom dimensions, including minimum wall thickness and average wall thickness, as part of the purchase order.
