ASTM A179 / ASME SA179 Cold Drawn Heat Exchanger Tube

Starlight Tubes is an established manufacturer and supplier of ASTM A179 / ASME SA179 seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes. Produced through precision cold drawing followed by final subcritical annealing, Grade A179 tubes deliver superior ductility, smooth ID/OD surfaces, and consistent wall thickness required for high-efficiency heat transfer.

We supply ASTM A179 tubes in both straight lengths (up to 24 meters) and precision U-bent configurations per TEMA and ASME Section VIII standards. Every tube undergoes non-destructive eddy current testing, hydro testing, flaring, and flattening tests.
