SUPERHEATER & REHEATER
Engineered tube coils and banks for steam temperature control in power plants and industrial boilers. Radiant and convective configurations with full material traceability, high-temperature alloy selection, and interface-matched drop-in replacement capability.
Fundamentals
What is a Superheater & Reheater?
Tube coil assemblies positioned in the boiler flue gas path that raise steam temperature beyond saturation point — protecting turbine blades from moisture and improving thermodynamic efficiency of the steam cycle.
How It Works
What We Supply
- Superheater coil assemblies & banks
- Reheater assemblies & header sets
- Inlet & outlet headers with nozzles
- Tube spacers, hangers & support structures
- Complete documentation & inspection records
Product Range
Configurations We Manufacture
Material grade, tube geometry, and coil arrangement depend on heat zone position, operating temperature, and fuel type. ORL Power manufactures all three primary configurations.
Radiant Superheater
Positioned in or adjacent to the furnace radiant zone. Receives high heat flux from flame radiation — requires the highest-grade alloy tubes and careful thermal expansion design.
- Primary steam temperature control
- SA-213 T91 / T92 / TP347H tube grades
- Thermal expansion accommodation
- Oxide scale monitoring design
Convective Banks & Reheater
Positioned in the convection pass where gas temperatures are lower. Includes multi-stage superheater banks and the reheater for steam temperature restoration after HP turbine expansion.
- SA-213 T11 / T22 / T91 tube grades
- Reheater at intermediate pressure
- Sootblower lane spacing integrated
- Erosion-resistant leading tube layout
Replacement Coil Banks
Drop-in replacement for failed or life-expired superheater or reheater coil sections. Built to original interface dimensions — nozzle centerlines, support points, and header positions matched to your existing system.
- Build-to-print or reverse engineering
- Pre-installation dimensional report
- Coordinated outage delivery
- Material upgrade options available

Materials & Standards
Tube grade selection is the most critical engineering decision for superheater longevity. We match material to operating temperature, flue gas composition, and project code — not to minimum cost.

Our Advantage
Why Choose ORL
Superheater failures cause unplanned outages and turbine damage. The consequences reach far beyond the pressure parts themselves — which is why material selection, interface precision, and documentation quality matter.
High-Temperature Alloy Expertise
We specify tube grade based on flue gas temperature, corrosion risk, and operating hours — not catalogue defaults. T91 and T92 material handling requires correct PWHT and avoiding cold work; we manage this as standard.
Interface Precision for Outage Fit-Up
For replacement scope, we carry out a pre-fabrication interface check against your drawings — verifying nozzle centerlines, support hanger positions, and thermal expansion allowances before a single tube is bent.
Full Documentation Package
Tube 3.1 MTCs, header material certs, WPS/PQR, welder qualification records, NDE reports, PWHT records (where applicable), pressure test report, and as-built drawing — all standard, not by request.
Outage Schedule Discipline
Superheater replacement is invariably on the critical path. We track production against your outage window from order placement and flag any schedule risk in weekly progress reports.
ASME & GB Dual Capability
Grade A Boiler Manufacturer licence and ASME S-stamp in a single factory — you specify the jurisdiction code and we produce the correct data report without changing supplier.
Engineering Team Access
English-speaking engineers handle your inquiry — not a sales relay. Questions on tube grade, header wall thickness, PWHT scope, and thermal expansion receive a substantive answer within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Superheater & Reheater FAQ
Common technical questions from EPC contractors, plant engineers, and maintenance teams worldwide.
What information do you need to quote a superheater or reheater?
The fastest path to a quotation is a GA drawing or heat balance. If neither is available, we work from the following data:
- • Boiler type and fuel (coal, biomass, gas, oil, waste heat)
- • Steam flow rate (t/h), inlet and outlet pressure and temperature
- • Flue gas temperature entering the superheater section
- • Tube OD and geometry preference (if known)
- • Available space envelope — width, depth, height of the coil bank
- • Applicable design code (ASME Section I / GB/T 16507 / EN 12952)
- • New build or replacement — if replacement, existing drawings or dimensional survey data
- • Required delivery date or outage window
How do you select tube material for high-temperature service?
Material selection follows operating temperature, flue gas corrosivity, and design code:
- • Up to ~400°C — SA-210 A1/C carbon steel
- • 400–480°C — SA-213 T11 (1.25Cr-0.5Mo)
- • 480–540°C — SA-213 T22 (2.25Cr-1Mo)
- • 540–620°C — SA-213 T91 / T92 (9Cr-1Mo-V). Mandatory PWHT, normalising + tempering required
- • High-ash or corrosive environments — SA-213 347H, 321H, or TP304H austenitic SS
For biomass and high-alkali fuels, fireside corrosion risk can override pure temperature criteria — we factor this into the recommendation.
How do you ensure the replacement coil will fit during the outage?
We require detailed interface drawings showing nozzle centerlines, support hanger positions, and clearance envelopes before fabrication begins. Our process:
- • Engineering review of your drawings to identify fit-up critical dimensions
- • If original drawings are unavailable — field measurement report or reverse-engineered sketch approved by you
- • Fabrication drawing submitted for your approval before production starts
- • Pre-shipment dimensional report confirming interface envelope against drawing
The dimensional report travels with the shipment so your site team can verify before lifting begins.
What documentation is provided?
Standard documentation package included with every delivery:
- • Tube and header material EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates
- • Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR)
- • Welder qualification records
- • NDE reports — RT, UT, and PT/MT as applicable to the code
- • PWHT time-temperature record (where required)
- • Hydrostatic or pneumatic test report
- • As-built dimensional report
- • ASME Manufacturer's Data Report (where ASME scope)
Third-party witness inspection (SGS, BV, TÜV, Lloyd's) can be arranged on request.
What is the typical lead time?
Lead time is measured from drawing approval, not order placement. Typical ranges:
- • Small industrial superheater (carbon steel / T11, simple geometry): 8–12 weeks
- • Medium convective bank (T22, multi-row, standard geometry): 12–16 weeks
- • Complex radiant or T91/T92 scope (specialty alloy, PWHT, large assembly): 16–24 weeks
For planned outages, share your shutdown window at the enquiry stage — we build the production schedule backward from your required delivery date. For emergency replacements, contact us directly for expedited assessment.
Can you supply the superheater as part of a wider pressure-parts package?
Yes — ORL Power manufactures all major boiler pressure parts in the same facility, which means a coordinated package is straightforward rather than an exception.
- • Superheater + Reheater + Economizer (most common package)
- • Above + Steam Drum or Air Preheater
- • Full pressure-parts package including Water Walls and Headers
Package supply means a single technical interface, one inspection visit, consolidated shipping, and a single documentation package — reducing project coordination workload significantly.
