Full Description

This Technical Information Paper (TIP) covers guidelines to assure that boiler tubes for new construction andreplacement, both in recovery and other boilers, are metallurgically sound and free from potentially harmful defects.Special emphasis is placed on obtaining tubing of appropriate quality for critical recovery boiler service. Thisservice is defined as that in which tube leaks or failures can directly or indirectly lead to water reaching the smeltbed in the furnace, thereby creating the risk of explosion. Noncritical service encompasses all other recovery boilertubing and power boiler tubing where leakage can result in increased safety risk or significant service interruption.

Boiler tube materials shown in this document are specified in the American Society for Mechanical Engineers(ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section II, Part A. Similar specifications are issued by the AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
