Tubes for surface condenser A249 TP304L Vs. A213 TP304L
(OP)
We are purchasing a surface condenser for which we had specified seamless SS304 tubes. Now the vendor has informed that he will use A249 TP304L tubes. This ASTM class represent welded austenitic stainless steel tubes. Please guide me whether the welded tubes should be acceptable?

Welded tubes are considered acceptable for many non demanding services such as surface condensers.
Farooq.......please search these fora for the many discussions on welded vs. seamless tubes.
