Piping Fittings Shipment to UAE – ASME B16.9 Carbon Steel, Low Temperature & Stainless Steel Solutions

Haihao Group has recently completed a large-scale piping fittings shipment to a UAE customer, covering a broad range of butt welded fittings manufactured to ASME B16.9. The order includes carbon steel, low-temperature steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloy fittings designed for demanding pipeline and process applications in the Middle East.

Product Scope – ASME B16.9 Butt Weld Fittings

The supplied products mainly consist of seamless butt weld fittings, including:

• 90° long radius elbows (seamless)
• 45° long radius elbows
• Equal tees
• Reducing tees
• Concentric reducers

Sizes range from 1 inch up to 36 inches, with wall thicknesses covering SCH 10S, SCH 20, SCH 30, SCH 40 / 40S, SCH 60, SCH 80 / 80S, SCH 160 and SCH XXS. Multiple combinations of main run and branch thicknesses were supplied to meet different design requirements.

Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings – ASTM A234 WPB

Part of the order consists of carbon steel butt weld fittings manufactured to ASTM A234 Grade WPB, widely used for standard pressure piping systems.

Typical items include:

• 90° LR elbows in SCH 40, SCH 80 and SCH XXS
• Equal tees and reducing tees in SCH 80 and SCH 160

These fittings are produced according to ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements, ensuring compatibility with international pipeline systems.

Low Temperature Pipe Fittings – ASTM A420 WPL6

To meet low-temperature service requirements, a significant portion of the shipment was supplied in ASTM A420 Grade WPL6.

Products include:

• Large diameter elbows up to 36 inch
• Equal tees and reducing tees with mixed wall thicknesses
• Concentric reducers for transition piping

ASTM A420 WPL6 fittings are commonly used in cold climate and cryogenic-related applications, offering excellent impact toughness at low temperatures, making them suitable for Middle East energy projects with special operating conditions.

Stainless Steel & Nickel Alloy Fittings – Corrosion Resistant Solutions

The shipment also includes stainless steel and nickel alloy butt weld fittings for corrosive environments:

• ASTM A403 WP316 / WP316L stainless steel fittings (SCH 10S, 40S, 80S)
• ASTM B366 WPNICMC nickel alloy fittings for enhanced corrosion resistance

These materials are widely applied in chemical processing, offshore facilities, and high-corrosion pipeline systems in the UAE.

Manufacturing Standards and Quality Control

All fittings were manufactured in strict accordance with:

• ASME B16.9 – Factory-made wrought butt welding fittings
• Relevant ASTM material specifications

Quality control procedures include:

• Raw material inspection and heat number traceability
• Dimensional and visual inspection
• Wall thickness verification
• Export-standard packaging suitable for long-distance shipment

Haihao Group ensures each fitting delivered meets both project specifications and international standards.
