EN10216-2 —— European pressure piping standards
high-pressure boiler tubes are a category of seamless steel tubes engineered to operate under extreme conditions of high pressure and high temperature. They are a critical component in the construction of boilers, heat exchangers, superheaters, and other pressure vessels primarily used in thermal power plants, industrial processing, and various heating systems.
These tubes are designed to efficiently contain and transfer heat, transforming water into high-energy steam that drives turbines for electricity generation or provides process heat for industrial applications. Their performance, reliability, and safety are paramount, as failure can lead to catastrophic outcomes.

Key Characteristics and Material Properties
The demanding service environment necessitates that high-pressure boiler tubes possess exceptional material properties:
High-Temperature Strength and Creep Resistance: They must maintain structural integrity and resist deformation (a phenomenon known as "creep") over prolonged periods at temperatures often exceeding 500°C (932°F). Alloying elements like Molybdenum (Mo), Chromium (Cr), and Vanadium (V) are added to enhance strength at elevated temperatures.
Excellent Oxidation and Corrosion Resistance: The inner surface must resist corrosion from high-purity water and steam, while the outer surface must withstand oxidation (scaling) and corrosive flue gases. Chromium is a key element for improving oxidation resistance.
Good Stability and Microstructural Integrity: The material must remain stable under thermal cycling (repeated heating and cooling) to prevent the formation of brittle phases and ensure long-term durability.
Superior Internal Quality and Purity: The steel must be of high purity with low levels of impurities (like Sulfur and Phosphorus) and non-metallic inclusions to prevent weaknesses and crack initiation points.
Precise Dimensional Tolerances: Strict control over outer diameter (OD), wall thickness (WT), and length is essential for ensuring proper fit-up, welding, and efficient fluid flow within the boiler system.
