ASME SA240 SS304 Stainless Steel Stationary Tubesheet For Heat Exchanger

ASME SA240 SS304 Stainless Steel Stationary Tubesheet For Heat Exchanger

This stationary tubesheet is manufactured from ASME SA240 Type 304 Stainless Steel, the industry-standard austenitic alloy known for its excellent combination of corrosion resistance, formability, and value. It serves as a reliable and economical sealing and tube-supporting component for a wide range of shell-and-tube heat exchangers operating in non-severely corrosive environments. Precision-machined to meet TEMA layout specifications, it ensures a perfect fit and long-term service in applications from HVAC to general industrial processing.

Key Features & Advantages

• Proven Reliability & Cost Efficiency: SS304 offers dependable performance in freshwater, steam, oils, and many chemical services with low chloride content. It represents the optimal balance between initial investment and proven, long-term service life for general applications.

• Excellent Fabricability: Known for superior weldability and machinability, SS304 allows for precise drilling of complex tube patterns, clean machining of pass partition grooves, and strong, leak-free joints with the shell and channel.

• Good General Corrosion Resistance: It provides reliable resistance to oxidation and corrosion from atmospheric exposure, freshwater, and a variety of mild chemical solutions, making it a versatile choice across multiple industries.

• Material Integrity & Traceability: Each tubesheet is sourced with full material certification. We provide Mill Test Reports (MTRs) verifying compliance with ASME SA240 requirements for chemistry and mechanical properties.
