CG Steel stands as a premier supplier of ASTM A269 stainless steel tubes catering to boiler and pressure vessel applications. Our extensive inventory covers tubes of all grades and dimensions. The main grades in ASTM A269 stainless steel tubes include TP304/TP304L, TP316/TP316L, TP321, and more. This specification encompasses seamless and welded austenitic steel tubing with nominal-wall thickness, designed for general corrosion resistance in low or high-temperature services. All materials are provided in the heat-treated condition, and the tube product can be either hot or cold finished.
Austenitic steel tubes (TP304/TP304L, TP316/TP316L) exhibit excellent weld performance and high corrosion resistance, encompassing both uniform and localized corrosion. Each grade has its designated area of use. Allowable working pressures are determined based on an S value of 20,000 psi (137.8 MPa) for ASTM A269 tubing at temperatures ranging from -20 to 100°F (-28 to 37°C).
