Tight tolerance seamless tubes designed for efficient heat transfer and reliable pressure performance in boilers, heat exchangers and condensers.
Boiler and heat exchanger tubes are seamless tubes made to tight tolerances for efficient heat transfer under pressure. ASTM A192 is used for high pressure boiler tubes, ASTM A179 for cold drawn heat exchanger and condenser tubes, and ASTM A213 for alloy and stainless tubes in boilers, superheaters and heat exchangers.
Protek Pipes supplies boiler tubes in cut lengths and bundles, with hydrostatic and eddy current test reports available on request. Please send the outside diameter, wall thickness and length you need.

Ask usWhat is the difference between A192 and A179 tubes?
A192 is a seamless carbon steel tube for high pressure boilers. A179 is a cold drawn low carbon tube used in heat exchangers and condensers where tight tolerances matter.
Are special or U bend tubes available?
Special forms can be sourced on request. Send us your drawing or specification.
Which tolerances apply to boiler tubes?
Tube tolerances follow the relevant ASTM standard. Please state any tighter customer requirement in your enquiry.
