Astm A182 F316l Stainless Steel Tubesheet For Heat Exchanger
What is tubesheet?
A tube sheet is a plate which is used to support the tubes in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The tubes are aligned in a parallel way, and supported and held in place by tube sheets. The tube sheet is a circular plate which is perforated so that the tubes can fit through the openings.
Tubesheets are one of the most important components of Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers. tube sheets are usually made from a round flat piece of forged plate which are machined with holes drilled for the tube ends in a precise location and pattern relative to one another. Tube holes can be drilled and reamed and can be machined with one or more grooves that greatly increases the strength of the tube joint. Fabrication Our workshops have been equipped with modern machineries including CNC drilling machines in order to make any kind of tube sheets. tube sheets are widely used for fabrication of heat exchangers in any configuration. All machining activities such as lathe machining, drilling, reaming, taping, grooving, and surface milling can be carried out exactly according to client’s drawings and specifications. As all of drilling activities is programmed computer and done by state of art CNC machineries, there would not be any possible mistake caused by human.
What is ASTM A182 F316L material?
ASTM A182 F316L is a forging material specification for F316L grade stainless steel and is used for manufacturing bare forgings or forged and machined products for applications involving high temperature service.

Application
Tubesheet is widely used in tube heat exchanger, boiler, pressure vessel, steam turbine, large central air conditioning and other industries. Mainly used in chemical vessels, such as tube heat exchangers, pressure vessels, boilers, condensers, central air conditioning, evaporators, desalination, to support the role of fixed tubes, the metal of the material so that not only has a strong rigidity, but also has a great thermal conductivity.
