ASTM A234 steel pipe fittings are widely used in pipeline systems, it includes carbon and alloy steel material for moderate and high temperature services.
A234 WPB buttwelding fittings have two types that seamless and welded. Both of them are applied in pressure pipelines and in pressure vessel fabrications.
These fittings material consist of killed steel, forgings, bars, plates, pipe products.
Tolerance for Buttwelding Fittings
A234 WPB Meaning
W = WELDABLE / WROUGHT
P = RELATED TO P NUMBER OF ALLOY MATERIAL
B = REFER TO MINIMUM YIELD OF MATERIAL
ASTM A234 WPB VS A105
ASTM A105 is forging.
ASTM A234 WPB is wrought.
A105 for flanges & threaded & socket weld fittings.
A234 WPB for butt welding fittings.
