ASTM A213 TP304 stainless steel tube is an austenitic stainless steel tube
specifically designed for
boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers operating under high temperature and
pressure conditions.
Manufactured under ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 specifications, TP304 tubes provide an
excellent balance of
corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical strength.
Containing approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, TP304 offers strong
resistance to oxidation and
general corrosion. Its high-temperature performance and excellent fabrication
characteristics make it one of
the most widely used stainless steel grades in thermal and process industries.
