Grade A-1, Grade C Superheater Tubes in Boiler
Material
Grade A-1 and Grade C superheater tubes are made of seamless medium-carbon steel as per ASTM A210 / ASME SA210 specification. These tubes are specifically engineered for use in superheaters and reheaters in steam boilers, where they must withstand high pressure, elevated temperatures, and continuous thermal cycling.
Specification
Standard | ASTM A210 / ASME SA210 |
Grades | A-1 and C |

Key Features
-
High Strength at Elevated Temperature: Grade C offers higher tensile and yield strength than Grade A-1, suitable for higher steam pressure applications.
-
Excellent Pressure Resistance: Designed for high-pressure steam superheater systems.
-
Good Creep Resistance: Maintains structural integrity under prolonged exposure to heat.
-
Reliable Heat Transfer: Smooth inner surface for optimal thermal efficiency.
-
Weldability and Machinability: Easily welded and fabricated with proper preheating.

Steel Grade
-
ASTM A210 Grade A-1: Standard medium-carbon steel with balanced strength and ductility, used for general superheater tube applications.
-
ASTM A210 Grade C: Higher carbon content for improved strength, designed for higher-pressure and higher-temperature service.
Application
-
Boiler Superheater Tubes: For converting saturated steam into superheated steam.
-
Reheater Tubes: For reheating steam between turbine stages in power plants.
-
Economizer Tubes: Used in some designs for heat recovery systems.
-
Steam Generator Tubing: In petrochemical, refinery, and industrial boilers.
-
Process Heaters: High-temperature heat exchange systems.
Possible Alternative Grades
Possible alternatives include ASTM A192 (for lower-pressure service), DIN 17175 St35.8 / St45.8, EN 10216-2 P235GH / P265GH, GB 5310 (20G, 25MnG), and JIS G3461 STB340/STB410.
-
Reason: These grades have similar mechanical properties, pressure ratings, and temperature resistance, allowing engineers to select alternatives based on local availability, design codes, and cost optimization without compromising performance.
