ASME SA213/ SA 209 Grade T1

ASME SA213/ SA 209 Grade T1 is stronger than welded tube – and is made by rolling a preheated billet between offset rolls to create a tube shell. SA 209 T1A Tube shell is then elongated in a multi-strand rolling mill to achieve the desired wall thickness and a limited range of diameters. And then the diameter can also be achieved with a sizing collar but, for significant diameter changes, SA209 T1 Tubing is then reheated and passed through a stretch-reducing mill – a multi-strand mill that reduces outside diameter but not wall thickness. The thickness of the wall depends on the usage. As there are no joints in Alloy Steel ASTM A209 Grade T1A Seamless Tubing, the working pressure can remain much higher as compared to the Alloy Steel T1 Welded Tubing welded tubes of the same size where the same material is used. It prevents the probability of flaws and differences in malleability as it does not have any joints.

ASTM A209 GR T1 Seamless Tube range also includes Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG.). Oil and gas industries, boiler tubing, and automotive transmission components are typical applications.  ASTM A209 T1A material offers tight tolerances and offers stronger physical properties compared to another mechanical tubing. It is suited for applications that need toughness, wear resistance, high strength than other grades. The choice of SA 209 T1A tube is often determined by the tensile strength and ruling section of the steel. As compared to carbon steel SA 209 T1a Tube is very expensive.  SA209 T1 can be fabricated to almost any density for a wide variety of strength specifications. ASTM A209 Grade T1A Boiler Tube contains alloying elements like. manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium, and aluminum in varying proportions in order to manipulate the steel’s properties, such as its hardenability, corrosion resistance, strength, formability, ductility, or weldability. ASTM A209 Gr T1 welded tubes are often more cost-effective than the equivalent ASTM A209 T1A seamless tube and they can have better surface quality on both the OD and ID because it is made from a strip of roll-formed material and joined with a longitudinal seam made from flat-rolled material as opposed to being extruded like SA 209 T1A tube.
