Standard for U bend Tubes

U-bend tubes are widely used in heat-exchanger systems. Heat-exchanger equipment on the basis of seamless stainless U-tubes is essential in strategically important and critical fields — nuclear and petrochemical machine building.

A tube-bending line, that was installed at Huawei in the end of 2007, allows to produce U-tubes as per such standards:

1. ASTM A688/A688M
2. ASTM A803/A803M
3. ASTM A556/A556M, ASME SA-556
4. ASME SA-688

At present Huawei has purchased the equipment for production of the following product range:
