ASTM A335 Pipe
ASTM A335(or ASME SA335) is the standard specification for seamless ferritic alloy steel pipe for high temperature service. It covers steel grades from P1 to P5, P9, P11, P12, P91. Grades P11/P22 and P91/92 pipes are commonly used in power generation and petrochemical industries. ASTM A335 grade P5 and P9 pipes are mostly used for application in the petrochemical industry. Not only power generation and petrochemical industries, it is also applied to gas processing equipment, oil serves, heaters/reheat lines and boilers.
Features
● Strong resistance to rupturing at high temperatures and high pressures
● May be used for Hydrogen Sulfide Corrosion Services
● Resistant to cracking from hydrogen attack and embrittlement
● Resistant to hot sulfide corrosion cracking
● Can be used for NACE Applications where sour environments are under high temp and pressure
● Can be used in NACE-MRO 175 Sour Service
● Ideal for creep rupture applications
● Can handle high temperatures with very low elasticity
