Boiler tubes – for pressure equipment, used at higher temperatures


Modern power devices that operate with high efficiency require the use of suitable steel tubes, to guarantee their long-term, safe and trouble-free operation. Steel tubes are important structural materials used in these facilities. These tubes are often referred to as boiler tubes.

Zeleziarne Podbrezova a.s. produces a wide range of steel tubes. Tubes for energy facilities are included in the group of tubes for pressure purposes at higher temperatures.

For production and screening, these tubes are placed high demands. Zeleziarne Podbrezova a.s. possesses the necessary certificates of quality management and product certificates.

Seamless boiler tubes surface protection


While ordering, it is necessary to agree upon the method and means of temporarily protecting the surface of the tubes during transportation and storage.

Packaging of seamless boiler tubes


(a) tubes bound with a steel band,
(b) tubes wrapped in plastic sheets, burlap,
(c) tubes in wooden crates.

The tubes are supplied in packages with a circular or hexagonal outline with having weight of 300 – 3 500 kg.

Markings of the tubes and tube bundles


(a) The tubes with outside diameter up to 51 mm may be marked by a label attached to the tube bundle,

(b) Larger tubes must, at least, have markings at one end of the tube with the necessary data – producer name , standard, steel grade, test category, heat no, inspector’s mark, identification number. Additional marking upon agreement.

Allowed straightness is 0.0015 multiple of the tube length.

For 1 meter length the allowed straightness is 3 millimeters.

Condition of the tubes meets the requirements of the appropriate standards, i.e. the tubes go through normalized forming or after cold forming goes through normalized annealing.


The tube surface meets the standards’ requirements and the means of manufacturing.
