Harnessing the Strength of ASTM A178/ASME SA178 Grade C Carbon Steel Tubes – A Spotlight on Steelnix
In the heavy-industry setting, such as power generation as well as petrochemical plants and industrial boilers, demand for solid boiler and superheater tubing is high. The standard known as ASTM A178 (and its counterpart ASME SA178) defines electric-resistance-welded (ERW) carbon-steel and carbon-manganese steel tubes to serve in high-pressure boiler and flue applications. The grades included in the standard grade C is distinguished by its moderate carbon composition and increased strength.
