What is ASME SA691 EFW pipe?

ASME SA691 is the ASME designation companion to ASTM A691 for electric-fusion-welded carbon and alloy steel pipe fabricated from pressure-vessel-quality plate for high-pressure service at elevated temperatures.

It is commonly specified on boiler-linked and ASME code piping packages where large-diameter EFW chrome moly is required. Product selection must still follow the governing piping code, design metal temperature and approved material class.

For seamless chrome moly in smaller sizes, see ASTM A335 / ASME SA335. For boiler tubes, see ASTM A213 / ASME SA213.

Typical applications of ASME SA691 pipe

  • ASME code large-diameter hot piping and headers
  • Power and process EFW chrome moly systems
  • Boiler-adjacent piping packages specifying SA691 documentation
  • Matched Cr-Mo plants combining SA691 EFW with SA335 / SA213 products

SA691 vs A691

In practice, purchasers often write ASTM A691 / ASME SA691 together for the same grade family. Confirm which designation and documentation package your inspector or EPC requires — especially class, heat treatment and NDE.

A Requires quenching and tempering

B 9CR steel is an air-hardenable steel, at times retaining down to near atmospheric temperature. Good practice is to allow the steel to cool to 15 F or Lower before subjecting the steel to a tempering treatment or post-weld heat treatment.

Frequently asked questions — ASME SA691

What is ASME SA691?

ASME SA691 is the ASME companion specification to ASTM A691 for electric-fusion-welded carbon and alloy steel pipe made from pressure-vessel-quality plate for high-pressure elevated-temperature service.

Which SA691 grades are commonly ordered?

Common chrome moly grades include 1-1/4CR, 2-1/4CR, 5CR, 9CR and 91. Always specify the class number with the grade.

Do I need both grade and class on the PO?

Yes. Grade defines chemistry; class defines heat treatment, radiography and pressure-test combination. Ordering by grade alone is incomplete for A691/SA691.

Can Savoy Piping supply SA691 with third-party inspection?

Yes. We support EN 10204 3.1/3.2 MTCs and third-party inspection (SGS, TUV, Lloyd’s, etc.) when specified.

Export & documentation

We supply this product for domestic and export projects with MTC (EN 10204 3.1 standard; 3.2 / TPI on request). Include destination, Incoterms and inspection needs on the RFQ.
