Frequently asked questions
What does ASTM A213 cover?
Seamless tubes for boilers, superheaters and heat exchangers, covering both Cr-Mo ferritic alloy grades (T11, T22, T91 and others) and austenitic stainless grades (TP304H, TP347H and others).
Which grades are covered by ASTM A213?
On this site: SS 304H, SS 316L, SS 321H, SS 347H, SS 310S, SS 304, P11 / T11 / Grade 11 (1¼Cr-½Mo), P22 / T22 / Grade 22 (2¼Cr-1Mo), P91 / T91 / Grade 91 (9Cr-1Mo-V), P5 / T5 / Grade 5 (5Cr-½Mo), P9 / T9 / Grade 9 (9Cr-1Mo).
Do you supply material certified to ASTM A213?
Yes. Material is supplied to ASTM A213 with EN 10204 3.1 certificates (3.2 on request), where the mill certifies to it.
Is ASME SAA213 the same as ASTM A213?
ASME adopts many ASTM material specifications into Section II with an "S" prefix (for example SA-213). The adopted text is identical or includes stated modifications, and dual-certified material meets both.
