Difference between ASTM A249 A270 A269 and A213 Stainless steel tubing

ASTM A269 is a standard specification for seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel tubing for general corrosion-resisting and low- or high-temperature services.ASTM A249 is a standard specification for welded austenitic steel boiler, superheater, heat-exchanger, and condenser tubes.ASTM A213 is a standard specification for seamless ferritic and austenitic alloy-steel boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger tubes.The differences between A269, A249, and A213 lie in the specific standards they represent for stainless steel tubing.
