Haihao Group Delivers NACE & AXENS Compliant Sour Service Fittings to USA
Haihao Group has completed precision manufacturing and full-qualification delivery of custom sour service pipe fittings for a US-based refinery project. This specialized batch is strictly engineered to meet dual technical specifications of NACE MR0103 and AXENS IN-043 (2020), targeting wet hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen-induced cracking working conditions common in hydrocarbon processing systems.
All units in this shipment are verified NACE MR0103 pipe fitting products, divided into two core anti-corrosion grades: Category 1 for wet H₂S corrosion resistance and Category 2 for strict HIC hydrogen induced cracking resistance. To satisfy the US client’s third-party inspection requirements, we prepared dedicated test blocks for HIC testing and physical chemical performance verification, ensuring every NACE MR0103 pipe fitting fully complies with project-grade safety standards.

Material chemical composition control serves as the core technical advantage of this batch of NACE MR0103 pipe fitting. For ASTM A105 forged carbon steel components including socket weld plugs and MSS SP-97 branch outlets, we strictly limited phosphorus content within 0.025% and sulfur content below 0.020%. For ASTM A106 Gr.B seamless pipe nipples, the maximum phosphorus threshold is 0.030% and sulfur is controlled under 0.010%, far exceeding conventional industrial fitting standards.
The product lineup covers diversified structural and dimensional specifications to adapt to complex on-site piping layouts. The portfolio includes socket weld round head plugs, BW branch outlets, short stub branch outlets, and custom seamless pipe nipples with differentiated end designs – plain beveled ends, single threaded & single beveled ends, and double beveled ends. Sizes range from 1/2” to 10”, with wall thicknesses including SCH160, XXS and STD, and pressure classes of 3000# and 9000#.
Every NACE MR0103 pipe fitting undergoes standardized heat treatment to stabilize internal microstructure and eliminate residual stress. This processing method effectively improves the material’s toughness and anti-cracking performance in sour environments. All manufacturing procedures follow ASME B16.11, ASME B36.10 and MSS SP-97 standards, with unified dimensional calibration and technical document sorting to support fast project acceptance for US industrial facilities.
Haihao Group has rich experience in custom high-standard sour service piping components for North American projects. We can tailor material chemical composition, anti-corrosion grades, structural styles and testing schemes according to AXENS and NACE specifications, providing fully compliant pipe fittings and complete test reports for refinery and chemical piping systems.
