FAQs of ASTM A234 Gr WP91 Alloy Steel Pipe Fittings:
Q: How are ASTM A234 Gr WP91 alloy steel pipe fittings manufactured for enhanced durability?
A: These fittings are crafted using both seamless and welded processes, with each component undergoing heat treatment through normalization and tempering. This process ensures uniform strength, improved toughness, and reliable performance in high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Q: What are the typical applications for these WP91 alloy steel fittings?
A: They are commonly used in high-temperature and pressure pipelines such as those found in oil & gas facilities, power plants, petrochemical complexes, refineries, and chemical processing industries, where durability and resistance to corrosion are paramount.
Q: When should you choose WP91 pipe fittings over other grades?
A: Choose WP91 fittings when your system operates under elevated temperatures (up to 650C) and high pressure (up to Class 2500), and requires robust mechanical properties, superior corrosion resistance, and consistent weldability.
Q: Where are these alloy steel fittings typically exported and used?
A: Our WP91 alloy steel fittings are supplied both domestically and internationally, serving major industries across India and other regions, especially where compliance with rigorous standards like ABS, BV, Lloyds, and SGS is essential.
Q: What tests and quality control measures are performed during the manufacturing process?
A: Each fitting is subject to hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic and radiographic inspections, hardness measurement (max 250 HB), and impact testing (Charpy V-Notch), in line with ASTM requirements. These rigorous checks ensure the fittings meet specified safety and durability standards.
Q: How can these fittings benefit your critical piping projects?
A: Benefits include high tensile (660 MPa min.) and yield strength (415 MPa min.), excellent weldability, tight tolerances, custom fabrication possibilities, and ready stock availability, ensuring timely project completion and dependable long-term performance.
Q: What packing and marking options are available for these fittings?
A: Fittings are packed securely in wooden cases, pallets, or bundles to ensure protection during transit. Each item is clearly marked with size, grade, manufacturer, and standard details for full traceability and compliance.
