Shaanxi Shangyou Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. supplies ASTM A249 TP304 welded austenitic steel tubes for global boiler manufacturers, power generation equipment fabricators, heat exchanger producers, and EPC contractors requiring reliable welded tubing for elevated-temperature and heat-transfer service. Produced to ASTM A249/A249M, this specification covers nominal-wall-thickness welded tubes and heavily cold worked welded tubes made from austenitic steels for boiler, superheater, heat exchanger, or condenser applications.
ASTM A249 is the standard specification for welded austenitic steel tubes intended for heat transfer service. TP304 (UNS S30400) is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel grade, containing 18.0-20.0% chromium and 8.0-11.0% nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. The tubing is manufactured from flat-rolled stock by an automatic welding process and is furnished in the heat-treated condition to ensure corrosion resistance and mechanical properties are fully restored. The specification covers sizes from 1/8 in. [3.2 mm] inside diameter to 12 in. [304.8 mm] outside diameter and wall thicknesses from 0.015 to 0.320 in. [0.4 to 8.1 mm].

ASTM A249 TP304 welded tubes are specified for heat-transfer applications requiring corrosion resistance and mechanical integrity at moderate to elevated temperatures.
Typical applications include:
Key selection considerations: Select TP304 for general heat-transfer service with moderate chloride concentrations and good corrosion resistance requirements. The heat-treated condition is mandatory for all tubes under A249, ensuring optimal corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. TP304 offers short-term oxidation resistance up to 870°C and continuous operating performance up to 425°C. For sustained elevated-temperature service above 870°F where creep strength is required, consider TP304H (0.04-0.10% carbon) which is a modification intended specifically for superheater and reheater service. TP304L (low carbon, ≤0.035%) is recommended when welding with thicker sections where sensitization risk is a concern.
Shangyou Stainless Steel provides value-added processing including custom cutting, beveling, and end protection.
All tubes are packed with export-standard protection including protective end caps, steel strapping, waterproof wrapping, and wooden pallets or steel frames.
Quality documents include MTC 3.1, inspection reports, packing list, and heat number traceability. Third-party inspection (SGS, TUV, BV) can be arranged upon request.
