Steel tubes for heating furnaces are divided into two categories according to the mechanical properties of different steel grades:
(1) high-strength steel tubes;
(2) high-temperature steel tubes.
High-strength steel tubes are steel tubes made of steel grades with high-strength, such as Q235A, 20#, 35# and 40#. The tensile strength of steel tubes made of high-strength steel grades is greater than or equal to 480MPa. Its chemical components are C <= 0.17%, Si <= 0.35%, Mn <= 0.65%, Cr <= 0.15%, P <= 0.045%, S <= 0.045%, Ni <= 0.03%.
High-temperature steel tubes are steel tubes made of steel grades with high temperature resistance, such as 10CrMo910, 15CrMoG, 12Cr1MoVG, 2Cr5Mo and 35CrMoM. The tensile strength of the steel tubes made of these high temperature-resistant steel grades is greater than or equal to 585MPa. The chemical components of the steel tubes are generally C 0.080%-0.16%, Si 0.17%-0.37%, Mn 0.41%-0.70%, Cr ≤ 0.25%, P ≤ 0.035%, S ≤ 0.035% and Ni ≤ 0.30%.
The nameplate of steel tubes for heating furnaces indicates the chemical components and mechanical properties of the tubes. Generally, the nameplate includes the following information:
(1) Steel grade;
(2) Chemical components;
(3) Tolerance;
(4) Tensile strength;
(5) Length;
(6) Wall thickness;
(7) Manufacturer;
(8) Certification authority;
(9) Inspection date.
Steel tubes for heating furnaces shall be manufactured according to the corresponding technical standards, such as GB/T711-2008, GB/T9711.2-2011, GB/T8123.1-2008, GB/T3094-2012 and JB/T6728-2002. Steel tubes for heating furnaces shall be inspected by quality inspection departments and given a quality certificate before leaving the factory.
