ASTM A249 TP304 Tube (Pipe) Supplier and Exporter in India

ASTM A249 TP304 Tube is a welded austenitic stainless steel tube designed for use in boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, and condensers. It contains approximately 18–20% chromium and 8–11% nickel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical strength.

Manufactured under ASTM A249 specifications, TP304 tubes are supplied in the welded and heat-treated condition to meet metallurgical and mechanical property requirements. Although commonly referred to as “pipe” in trade terminology, ASTM A249 technically covers welded stainless steel tubes.
