Boiler Tube Specifications
Boiler Tube Specifications
(OP)
Dear All
We have a number of utility boilers of varying ages and are in the process of rationalising boiler tube stocks. I would like your opinions on the most commonly used boiler tube standards. The ones we are currently considering are:
ASTM standards (A192,A209,A213)
ISO standards (ISO9329-2 and 4)
British Standard (BS3059-2)
European Standard (??)
Thanks

RE: Boiler Tube Specifications
As international power consultants we accept tubes to all of the standards you mention providing the design complies with all the asociated standards.
For example, in the pasr we have obviously accepted ASTM tubes in boilers designed to ASME section 1 but not ASTM tubes in boilers designed to BS unless it was one of those ASTM materials for which there are design stresses specifically stated in BS.
