ASTM A210 Grade A-1 and Grade C Seamless Medium-Carbon Steel Boiler and Superheater Tubes
Material and Specification
ASTM A210 is a specification for seamless medium-carbon steel boiler and superheater tubes. These tubes are primarily used in the manufacturing of boilers and superheaters in power plants and industrial applications. The specification covers two grades: Grade A-1 and Grade C, each with specific mechanical properties and chemical compositions.
Key Features
- Seamless Construction: Provides high strength and durability.
- Medium-Carbon Steel: Offers a good balance of strength and ductility.
- High-Temperature Resistance: Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
- Versatile Applications: Used in various industries, including power generation and petrochemical.

Mechanical Properties
The following table outlines the mechanical properties of ASTM A210 Grade A-1 and Grade C:
| Property | Grade A-1 | Grade C |
| Yield Strength (ksi) | 30 min | 35 min |
| Tensile Strength (ksi) | 60 min | 70 min |
| Elongation (%) | 20 min | 20 min |
| Hardness (Rockwell B) | 85 max | 85 max |
Steel Grade
- Grade A-1: Suitable for moderate temperature and pressure applications.
- Grade C: Designed for higher temperature and pressure applications, providing enhanced mechanical properties.
Application
ASTM A210 Grade A-1 and Grade C tubes are widely used in:
- Boilers: For steam generation in power plants.
- Superheaters: To increase the temperature of steam before it enters the turbine.
- Heat Exchangers: In various industrial processes.
- Petrochemical Industries: For transporting fluids at high temperatures and pressures.
Possible Alternative Grades
While ASTM A210 is a widely used specification, there are alternative grades that may be suitable for similar applications:
- ASTM A192: Seamless carbon steel boiler tubes for high-pressure service.
- ASTM A213: Seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes.
- ASTM A335: Seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe for high-temperature service.
