Haihao Group Supplies ASTM A234 WP11 Tee and ASTM A403 WP316L Reducer for Russian Industrial Project

Haihao Group recently completed the successful production and shipment of a batch of alloy steel and stainless steel pipe fittings for a Russian customer. The order included ASTM A234 WP11 equal tee SCH160 and ASTM A403 WP316L concentric reducer SCH80S, both manufactured according to ASME B16.9 requirements and subjected to strict inspection procedures before delivery.

This shipment once again demonstrates Haihao Group’s capability in supplying high-quality industrial pipe fittings for demanding international projects involving low-temperature environments, corrosion resistance requirements, and pressure-critical piping systems.

Product Details of the Shipment

Product Size Material Standard Additional Testing Surface Packaging
Equal Tee 1″ SCH160 ASTM A234 GR.WP11 ASME B16.9 -20°C impact test, hydrostatic test Black painted Plastic caps
Concentric Reducer 1 1/2″ × 1″ SCH80S ASTM A403 GR.WP316L ASME B16.9 IGC 262 test, hydrostatic test Plastic caps

The fittings were prepared for industrial piping applications where both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are essential.

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.
