Luke Steel, a reputable manufacturer and supplier of Carbon Steel SA178 Tubing with headquarters in Houston, Houstan, provides high-end electric-resistance-welded (ERW) tubes for boiler and superheater applications. These tubes are designed to function in high-pressure and high-temperature settings and meet ASME SA178 specifications. Luke Steel produces tubing with exceptional dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and thermal performance by using sophisticated manufacturing techniques and strict quality control. Luke Steel’s SA178 tubing, which serves power plants, refineries, and industrial facilities, guarantees enduring performance and dependability in vital heat exchanger and steam generation systems.
Grades A, C, and D of carbon steel SA178 tubing are commonly produced; Grade A has a carbon content of 0.06–0.18% and a manganese content of up to 0.27–0.73%. Depending on grade and condition, these tubes have yield strengths between 205 and 315 MPa and tensile strengths between 380 and 585 MPa. SA178 tubing is well-known for its moderate strength and good weldability. When properly coated, it also offers exceptional corrosion resistance and heat transfer efficiency. It is perfect for high-pressure steam applications and is frequently supplied in hot-finished or cold-drawn conditions.

Boilers, superheaters, economisers, and heat exchangers in thermal power plants and industrial steam systems are the main applications for carbon steel SA178 tubing. It is appropriate for high-efficiency heat transfer operations due to its resistance to high temperatures and internal pressure. Additionally, refineries, HVAC systems, and petrochemical plants use these tubes. SA178 tubing is perfect for pressure vessels and welded boiler tube assemblies where mechanical strength, uniform wall thickness, and good thermal conductivity are essential. Long-term performance and operational safety in demanding environments are guaranteed by its smooth integration into steam-generating units.
