Versatile Design and Elbow OptionsASTM A234 Gr WP22 pipe fittings are available in multiple shapesincluding elbows with 45, 90, and 180 bendsto suit various piping layouts. Sizes range from 1/2 to 48 (DN15 to DN1200), matching diverse process requirements. Fittings can be customized in thickness, bend radius, and surface finishing for precise project specifications.
Robust Manufacturing and TestingThese alloy steel fittings are either seamless or welded, using both hot and cold forming to achieve technical standards. Each piece undergoes exhaustive inspection, including 100% radiography, ultrasonic, and hydrostatic tests, to confirm integrity. Hardness, tensile, and yield strength conform to ASTM A234 WP22 standards, ensuring reliability under high pressure and temperature.
Adaptability and Export-Ready PackagingAll fittings can be specified with beveled or plain ends and are supplied with standard export packagingtypically in wooden cases. For enhanced versatility, surface treatments such as black painting, oil, or epoxy coatings are offered. Markings apply per ASTM A234 or client specifications, ensuring traceability and compliance in international shipments.
