ASTM A335 P93 Seamless Alloy Steel Pipe For Main Steam / Hot Reheat Piping
ASTM A335 P93 Seamless Alloy Steel Pipe For Main Steam and Hot Reheat Piping
Specification
ASTM A335 P93 Alloy Steel Pipe is a high-grade, seamless, ferritic alloy steel pipe designed for extreme high-temperature service, combining chromium (8-10%) and molybdenum (0.9-1.1%) for excellent oxidation resistance, high-temperature strength, and toughness, making it ideal for power plants, refineries, and chemical processing where corrosive, high-pressure, and high-heat conditions prevail, supporting bending, flanging, and welding operations.

| A New designation established in accordance with Practice E527 and SAE J1086, Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys (UNS). B Grade P5c shall have a titanium content of not less than 4 times the carbon content and not more than 0.70 %; or a niobium content of 8 to 10 times the carbon content. C Alternatively, in lieu of this ratio minimum, the material shall have a minimum hardness of 275 HV in the hardened condition, defined as after austenitizing and cooling to room temperature but prior to tempering. Hardness testing shall be performed at mid-thickness of the product. Hardness test frequency shall be two samples of product per heat treatment lot and the hardness testing results shall be reported on the material test report. D Applies to both heat and product analyses. E Chromium-Nickel Balance is defined as CNB = (Cr + 6Si + 4Mo + 1.5W + 11V + 5Nb + 9Ti + 12Al) – (40C + 30N + 4Ni + 2Mn + 1CU). F The terms Niobium (Nb) and Columbium (Cb) are alternate names for the same element. |
