03Technical description

Stainless steel tubing is precision tube designated by exact outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness — not by NPS nominal size with schedule — connected with twin-ferrule compression fittings. It is supplied per ASTM A269/A269M-25 in grades 316/316L (TP304 depending on lot), seamless, annealed, with 90 HRB maximum hardness, in 6 m lengths and 1/8" to 1" OD.

Before using these data in engineering decisions — design, installation or systems with mechanical risk of pressure, rupture, fatigue, impact or water hammer — you must read the Technical notice and limitation of liability at the end of this page.

Allowable working pressure (examples at ≤38 °C)

Values calculated with equation (3a) of paragraph 304.1.2 of ASME B31.3-2024 (S = 137.9 MPa, Table A-1, seamless tube); the full OD × wall matrix is in TECTUL engineering data sheet FT-VT-TUB-TBG-001.

OD × wallAllowable pressure
1/4" × 0.035"5,100 psi (351 bar)
3/8" × 0.049"4,800 psi (330 bar)
1/2" × 0.049"3,700 psi (255 bar)
1" × 0.065"2,400 psi (165 bar)

Tubing is not pipe: 1/2" tubing measures exactly 12.70 mm OD, while NPS 1/2 pipe measures 21.34 mm OD per ASME B36.10M-2022. That is why a 1/2" compression fitting never fits 1/2" pipe. It is not sanitary tube either: its priority is fitting compatibility, not hygienic finish. ASTM A269 governs general service; ASTM A213/A213M-24 governs boiler and heat-exchanger tubes, and the same tube may carry dual certification.

04Frequently asked questions

What is the price of stainless steel tubing?

It depends on OD, wall thickness, grade (304/316/316L), quantity of lengths, and availability. TECTUL quotes with the complete specification; made-to-order product in 6 m lengths.

What pressure does stainless steel tubing withstand?

It depends on the OD × wall combination: for example 3,700 psi (255 bar) at 1/2" × 0.049" and 5,100 psi (351 bar) at 1/4" × 0.035" at ≤38 °C, calculated per ASME B31.3-2024 for seamless A269 tube. Allowable pressure decreases at higher temperature.

Which standard governs tubing: ASTM A269 or A213?

ASTM A269/A269M-25 is the general-service tubing standard covering this product; ASTM A213/A213M-24 governs boiler and heat-exchanger tubes. The same tube may carry dual certification — the lot certification is confirmed when quoting.

Is it the same as SCH40 pipe?

No. SCH40 pipe is designated by NPS and schedule (NPS 1/2 measures 21.34 mm OD per ASME B36.10M-2022); tubing is designated by exact OD (1/2" = 12.70 mm), and the fittings are not interchangeable.

Why does the 90 HRB hardness matter?

Because the twin-ferrule fitting requires the tube to be softer than the ferrule so it can bite and seal: 90 HRB (200 HV) is the maximum guaranteed by ASTM A269/A269M-25 for annealed tubing.

Does it come in 6-meter lengths?

Yes, the lot presentation is 6 m lengths, made to order; available ODs, walls, and grades are confirmed when quoting.
