ASTM A234 WP11 equal tees and ASTM A403 WP316L concentric reducers manufactured by Haihao Group
ASTM A234 WP11 Equal Tee for High-Temperature Service
The ASTM A234 WP11 equal tee SCH160 supplied by Haihao Group is manufactured from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, which is widely used in high-temperature and high-pressure piping systems.
Advantages of ASTM A234 WP11 Fittings
- Excellent creep resistance at elevated temperatures
- Reliable mechanical strength under pressure
- Good oxidation resistance
- Suitable for refinery and power plant applications
- Long service life in demanding industrial environments
The SCH160 wall thickness provides additional pressure-bearing capability, making this fitting suitable for critical pipeline systems.
To satisfy the Russian customer’s requirements, Haihao Group arranged:
- Low-temperature impact testing at -20°C
- Hydrostatic pressure testing
- Dimensional inspection
- Surface quality verification
The fittings were coated with black paint to improve corrosion protection during transportation and storage.
ASTM A403 WP316L Concentric Reducer for Corrosion Resistance
The shipment also included a ASTM A403 WP316L concentric reducer SCH80S, manufactured from low-carbon austenitic stainless steel.
WP316L stainless steel is widely recognized for its:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Resistance to chloride environments
- Good weldability
- Stable performance in chemical processing systems
The customer specifically required the fitting to pass the IGC 262 intergranular corrosion test, which is commonly requested for stainless steel products used in corrosive environments.
Why IGC 262 Testing Matters
IGC testing evaluates the susceptibility of stainless steel to intergranular corrosion after welding or heat exposure. Passing this test confirms the material’s resistance to corrosion along grain boundaries, helping ensure long-term pipeline reliability.
Haihao Group carefully controlled raw materials, heat treatment, and inspection procedures to meet the project specifications.
