For manufacturers in Hamilton and beyond who rely on uncompromising quality, Latham Steel stands as a trusted local source for precision materials. Based right here in Hamilton, New Zealand, we specialise in supplying robust carbon steel tubing like the industry-respected SA179 grade. We understand that the heart of any strong project is dependable material, which is why we ensure our SA179 tubing meets the exacting standards required for critical heat exchange applications, providing our clients with both reliability and peace of mind.
The SA179 composition is a carefully balanced carbon steel, primarily iron with a touch of manganese and silicon for strength. Its true value lies in its mechanical properties, which are defined by excellent thermal conductivity and good ductility. This specific combination allows the tubing to be easily formed and bent while reliably handling the significant thermal stresses and pressures found inside heat exchangers and boilers, making it a workhorse material.

You’ll most often find SA179 tubing hard at work in the heart of heat transfer equipment. It’s the essential component in fabricating tubesheets for fire-tube boilers, as well as the inner workings of economisers and other heat exchangers. Its reliable performance under pressure and heat makes it the preferred choice for condensers and various refinery applications, where efficient thermal transfer is absolutely critical to the entire system’s smooth and safe operation.
