A178 Material Specification

This document provides information on ASME SA 178 tube specifications, including general characteristics, chemical composition, heat treatment requirements, mechanical properties, and related search terms. ASME SA 178 covers electric-resistance welded carbon steel and carbon-manganese steel tubes from 1/2 to 5 inches in diameter and 0.035 to 0.320 inches thick, intended for boilers and related applications. It specifies chemical composition ranges for Grades A, C, and D tubes and requires heat treatment above specified temperatures after welding or cold drawing. Mechanical properties including ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation are provided for each grade.

ASME SA 178 TUBE SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

This specification covers minimum-wall-thickness, electric-resistance-welded tubes made of


carbon steel and carbon-manganese steel intended for use as boiler tubes, boiler flues,
superheater flues, and safe ends. The ASTM SA 178 tube sizes and thicknesses usually furnished
to this specification are 1⁄2 to 5 in. [12.7 to 127 mm] in outside diameter and 0.035 to 0.320 in.
[0.9 to 9.1 mm], inclusive, in minimum wall thickness. Tubing having other dimensions may be
furnished, provided such tubes comply with all other requirements of this specification.
Mechanical property requirements do not apply to tubing smaller than 1⁄8 in. [3.2 mm] in inside
diameter or 0.015 in. [0.4 mm] in thickness.

HEAT TREATMENT:

After welding, all tubes shall be heat treated at a temperature of 1650°F [900°C] or higher and
followed by cooling in air or in the cooling chamber of a controlled atmosphere furnace. Cold-
drawn tubes shall be heat treated after the final cold-draw pass at a temperature of 1200° [650°C]
or higher.
