Boiler pipe is a type of steel pipe used in boiler equipment, which can be either welded or seamless. Due to the high-temperature and high-pressure operating conditions of boiler steel pipes, seamless boiler steel pipes are generally preferred. Compared to welded pipes, seamless boiler steel pipes offer significant advantages and are more widely applied.

Advantages of Seamless Boiler Tubes

First, boiler tubes operate under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions with frequent thermal cycling, demanding exceptional material quality and manufacturing precision. Seamless boiler tubes are formed by piercing a solid steel billet, resulting in a continuous tube body without fractures or welds, significantly reducing the risk of tube rupture.

Second, under identical outer diameter and wall thickness specifications, seamless tubes can withstand greater pressure loads.

Finally, the continuous and uniform metallurgical structure of seamless boiler tubes makes them highly suitable for long-term boiler operation.

Production Process for Seamless Boiler Tubes

Preparation: High-quality carbon steel billets with dense internal structure, free of impurities, and high purity.
Billets Heating: Transport billets to the heating furnace and heat to 1100-1250°C. Below 1100°C, steel lacks sufficient plasticity, making piercing prone to fracture; above 1250°C, surface oxidation occurs, compromising material properties.
Piercing: Utilizing a slant-roll piercing machine to transform solid billets into hollow tubes.
Rolling and Forming: Post-piercing tubes undergo elongation through various methods to reduce wall thickness.
Common rolling processes include: mandrel rolling, plug rolling, and continuous rolling.
Sizing and Reducing: This step ensures dimensional accuracy of boiler tubes while improving roundness and straightness.
Heat Treatment: Common methods include normalizing, normalizing + tempering, and annealing. This step eliminates residual stresses and homogenizes the microstructure.
Cold Working: Applied to some small-diameter pipes, primarily to enhance dimensional accuracy and achieve a smoother inner surface.
Straightening and Cutting: Ensures straightness and performs chamfering/flattening of pipe ends.
Inspection: Essential tests include chemical analysis, tensile testing, hardness testing, and hydrostatic pressure testing. Additional inspections can be performed per customer requirements.
Marking and Packaging: Pipes are marked with steel grade, specifications, standards, and furnace number. End caps protect pipe ends. Bundled packaging includes a Material Test Certificate (MTC).

Among these, the mandrel process is optimal for boiler tube manufacturing. This method involves elongating the billet in a multi-stand machine to reduce wall thickness, ensuring surface quality and uniform wall thickness.

Applications of Boiler Tubes in Different Sizes

Our company manufactures boiler tubes with an outer diameter (O.D.) range of 12.7 mm to 508 mm. The application scenarios, materials, and inspection methods vary for different sizes. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific applications of boiler tubes in different sizes.

Large Diameter: 273 mm – 508 mm

Applications: Primary high-pressure steam pipelines, boiler-to-equipment connections.

Characteristics: Primarily pressure-bearing with minimal heat exchange. Must withstand prolonged high-temperature, high-pressure conditions.

Pipe Characteristics: Wall thickness is the most critical parameter for large-diameter pipes, requiring creep resistance under prolonged high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.

Process Requirements: Typically manufactured using hot-rolled seamless processes, necessitating metallographic microstructure inspection and stringent heat treatment specifications.

Common Grades: ASTM A335 P22, ASTM A335 P91 / P92

Small Diameter: 12.7 mm – 76.2 mm

Application Scope: Waterwall tubes, superheaters, reheaters, heat exchanger tubes.

Application Characteristics: In these scenarios, boiler tubes are arranged in rows, featuring high quantities and long lengths. Heat transfer is the primary function.

Pipe Characteristics: Thin walls and small diameters. Effectively reduces thermal resistance and optimizes material utilization.
