Boiler tube refers to steel materials with openings at both ends and a hollow section, with a larger length than the circumference. According to the production method, they can be divided into seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe. They are the key components of boilers. Choosing suitable boiler tubes not only directly affects the service life and efficiency of the boiler, but also is related to the quality of production and life.

Selection considerations
1. Flow rate
The flow rate of the boiler tube should be selected according to the required heat output and water circulation volume. Too large or too small flow rate will affect the normal operation of the boiler.
2. Pressure
The pressure of the boiler tube should take into account the maximum pressure and temperature of the boiler during operation, as well as the bearing capacity of the pipeline material. Choosing too low a pressure will cause the pipeline to burst, and too high a pressure will cause rupture.
3. Material
The material of the boiler tube should be selected according to factors such as fuel, medium, pressure and temperature. Commonly used materials include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc.
4. Safety valve
The boiler tube must be equipped with a safety valve and a pressure reducing valve to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline.
5. Size
The size of the boiler tube should be selected according to the above factors, and the larger the size, the higher the cost of the pipeline. For some small boilers, smaller pipelines can be selected.
Summary
The selection of boiler tubes should consider many factors, including flow rate, pressure, material and size. Choosing the right size, parameters and specifications can ensure the safe operation of the pipeline and the normal operation of the boiler. In actual operation, appropriate pipe specifications and materials should be selected according to specific circumstances to ensure smooth operation of the boiler tube.
