ASTM A335 Seamless Pipes Standard Specification for Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service

This specification2 covers nominal wall and minimum wall seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe intended for high temperature service. Pipe ordered to this specification shall be suitable for bending, flanging (vanstoning), and similar forming operations, and for fusion welding. Selection will depend upon design, service conditions, Mechanical Properties, and high-temperature characteristics.

ASTM A335 Pipe (ASME S/A335, Chorme-Moly) is a seamless ferritic Alloy-Steel Pipe for high temperature service. Pipe ordered to this specification shall be suitable for bending, flanging (vanstoning), and similar forming operations, and for fusion welding. Sometimes referred to as “P Grade”, Chrome Moly Pipe is popular in P-Grades P5, P9, P11, P22, and P91. The most common use of grades P11, P22, and P91 is in the power industry and petro-chemical plants, Grades P5 and P9 are commonly used in refineries.

A335 is often called chrome moly pipe because of the chemical makeup of Molybdenum (Mo) and Chromium (Cr). Molybdenum increases the strength of steel as well as the elastic limit, resistance to wear, impact qualities, and hardenability. Moly increases the resistance to softening, restrains grain growth and makes chromium steel less susceptible to embrittlement. Moly is the most effective single additive that increases High Temperature creep strength. It also enhances the corrosion resistance of steel, and inhibits pitting. Chromium (or chrome) is the essential constituent of Stainless Steel. Any steel with 12% or more Chrome is considered stainless. Chrome is virtually irreplaceable in resisting oxidation at elevated temperatures. Chrome raises the tensile, yield, and hardness at room temperatures. The composition chrome moly Alloy Steel pipe and Valves make it ideal for use in power plants, refineries, petro chemical plants, and oil field services where fluids and gases are transported at extremely high temperatures and pressures.Savoy Piping Inc. stocks a full range of the following A335 pipe grades:

ASTM A213 Seamless Pipes tube

Standard Specification for Seamless Ferritic and Austenitic Alloy-Steel Boiler, Superheater, and Heat-Exchanger Tubes

This specification covers seamless ferritic and austenitic steel boiler, superheater ,Air Pre Heater and heat-exchanger tubes. Grades containing the letter H in their designation have requirements different from those of similar grades not containing the letter H. These different requirements provide higher creep-rupture strength than normally achievable in similar grades without these different requirements. The Tubes shall be made by the seamless process and shall be either hot finished or cold finished, as specified. Grade TP347HFG shall be cold finished. Heat treatment shall be done separately and in addition to heating for hot forming. The ferritic alloy and ferritic stainless steels shall be reheated. On the other hand, austenitic Stainless Steel Tubes shall be furnished in the heat-treated condition. Alternatively, immediately after hot forming, while the temperature of the Tubes is not less than the minimum solution temperature, Tubes may be individually quenched in water or rapidly cooled by other means. Tension test, hardness test, flattening test, and flaring test shall be done to each tube. Also, each tube shall be subjected to the nondestructive electric test or hydrostatic test.

Transverse or Longitudinal Tension Test and Flattening Test, Hardness Test, or Bend Test
For material heat treated in a batch-type furnace, tests shall be made on 5% of the pipe from each treated lot. for small lots, at least one pipe shall be tested.
For material heat treated by the continuous process, tests shall be made on a sufficient number of pipe to constitute 5% of the lot, but in no case less than 2 pipe.
Notes for Hardness Test: P91 shall not have a hardness not exceeding 250 HB/265 HV [25HRC].
Notes for Bend Test: For pipe whose diameter exceeds NPS 25 and whose diameter to wall thickness ratio is 7.0 or less shall be subjected to the bend test instead of the flattening test.
Other pipe whose diameter equals or exceeds NPS 10 may be given the bend test in place of the flattening test subject to the approval of the purchaser.
The bend test specimens shall be bent at room temperature through 180 without cracking on the outside of the bent portion.
The inside diameter of the bend shall be 1 inch [25 mm].

Frequently asked questions — Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe & Tube

What is the difference between A335 pipe and A213 tube?

ASTM A335 / ASME SA335 covers seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe for high-temperature piping. ASTM A213 / ASME SA213 covers seamless boiler, superheater and heat-exchanger tubes. Chemistry families often match (P11/T11, P22/T22, P91/T91), but product form and ordering dimensions differ.

Which chrome moly grades do you stock or supply?

Common grades include A335/SA335 P5, P9, P11, P22, P91 and P92, plus A213/SA213 T5, T9, T11, T22, T91 and T92, with EN 10204 documentation and optional IBR Form III-C.

Do alloy steel pipes need IBR certification?

For Indian boiler installations under IBR, purchasers often require ASME SA335 / SA213 wording with Form III-C in addition to mill test certificates. Confirm the documentation package on the PO.

When should I use A691 EFW instead of seamless A335?

Use A335 for seamless chrome moly pipe. Use A691 when the design needs electric-fusion-welded plate pipe — typically larger OD packages where seamless supply is impractical.
