Dimensions and weight

Illustrative drawing sizes. The bore and mass are calculated from the nominal dimensions. Use the project tolerance and confirm the size and route in the quote.

Service and pressure basis

Use the approved design code and service conditions. The applicable rating depends on material, temperature, minimum effective wall, joint details and the limits of the connected assembly. A schedule or a hydrostatic test result alone cannot establish an operating pressure.

Reference ASME process piping code B31.3

Chemical composition

The grade on the purchase line controls chemistry. Specify the grade with the finished product standard or drawing.

Application and product comparison

Keep seamless and welded routes as separate offers.

For the enquiry, give circuit tag, minimum or nominal wall, bend details and end preparation.

Ordering guidance

Start with the boiler or superheater specification

Provide the nominated tube standard, grade, outside diameter, wall basis and required cut length. If this is a repair, include the equipment specification or drawing number and identify any restrictions on the manufacturing route.

State required tests, third-party inspection or documentation before asking for pricing. Do not infer approval for boiler service from an alloy grade or from use of a general-purpose tube specification.

Buyer’s guide

Boiler and superheater tubes ordered from the equipment schedule

Read the material callout for the specific circuit

Boiler banks, superheaters and economisers can have different approved materials and design conditions. Copy the tube specification, grade and equipment tag from the current drawing. A213 covers certain seamless alloy-steel boiler and superheater tubes, while A249 covers specified welded austenitic tubes. The equipment specification determines the correct route and grade.

Capture the geometry before quoting

Use the actual OD, wall basis and finished length. If the order calls for bent tubes, provide the centreline radius, angles, leg lengths and end preparation. For straight tubes destined for site bending, give the required delivery condition and the blank length shown on the fabrication schedule.

Price inspection and shutdown delivery together

Attach the documentation schedule, marking requirements and any witness points. For an outage, identify which circuits must arrive first and separate straight stock from fabricated pieces. Ask the offer to state dispatch dates and any inspection steps that affect release.

Example enquiry

A superheater repair enquiry should include the boiler and circuit tags, grade, specified route, actual OD, minimum or nominal wall, tube or bend drawing and required date at site.

Can an equal-size general-service tube be used for a boiler repair?

Use the approved boiler material schedule and project acceptance procedure. Matching geometry does not satisfy the boiler specification or design basis.
