ASTM A860 WPHY 52 24” 90 Degree Long Radius Elbows Supplied to Singapore LNG Project
At Haihao Group, we recently completed a customized production order of 24-inch ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Long Radius Elbows for one of our long-term clients in Singapore. These elbows are specifically designed for use in demanding pipeline systems, such as those handling LNG, where toughness, strength, and durability are non-negotiable.
For this project, the elbows went through a quenching and tempering (Q+T) process to ensure excellent impact resistance and mechanical performance at low temperatures—conditions typical in LNG transport.
To protect the products during storage and shipping, each elbow was finished with black paint and sealed with plastic end caps—a small detail that helps prevent corrosion and keeps the pipe ends clean and damage-free until installation on site.

Why This Elbow Design Matters for LNG Projects
Pipelines for liquefied gas services like LNG demand components that don’t fail when exposed to sub-zero temperatures or fluctuating pressure loads. The elbows supplied in this shipment were not picked off the shelf—they were designed and heat-treated precisely for such use cases. The Q+T process makes the steel tougher and safer, while the black coating provides an extra layer of rust protection in humid storage or shipping conditions common in Southeast Asia.
Such attention to detail is part of why this Singapore customer has trusted Haihao Group for repeat orders.
Real Quality, Real Testing
We didn’t just ship the fittings—we made sure they passed everything required:
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Visual Inspection
- Certified Material Reports (EN 10204 3.1)
- Heat Treatment Records (Q+T process)
- Marking and full traceability by WBS number
Whether you need standard pipe fittings or customized solutions like this Q+T-treated elbow with special coating and protection, Haihao Group can help. We understand that no two projects are the same—and we’re happy to adjust materials, heat treatments, and surface protection according to the demands of your application.
