BS 3059 Carbon Steel Boiler tube

Standard Overview:

BS 3059 is mainly used for steel pipe specifications for high-pressure boilers and heat exchangers. It defines the technical and quality standards for seamless and welded steel pipes. These pipes are for high-temperature, high-pressure environments.

Main Material:

Carbon steel or low-alloy steel

Scope of Application:

This standard applies to boiler tubes, heat exchanger tubes, and industrial equipment. It is for use in high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, such as in power plants, chemical plants, and refineries.
