ASTM A234 WPB Pipe Fittings

Views: 127     Author: Lucky     Publish Time: 2023-03-17      Origin: Site

ASTM A234 is the standard specifification for piping syetem of wrought carbon steel and alloy steel for moderate and high temperature service. 

ASTM A234 WPB is one of the common carbon steel grade and used to manufacture ASME B16.9 butt weld pipe fittings, such as 90 Degree Elbow, 45 Degree ElbowSteel Pipe Bend, Tee, Cross, Conc Reducer, Ecc Reducer and Steel Pipe Cap
