ASTM A335 P12 Pipe

Our ASTM A335 P12 seamless pipes, crafted from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, are available in a range of nominal bore sizes from 1/8” NB to 24” NB, with wall thicknesses ranging from 2 mm to 14 mm. These pipes comply with stringent ASME SA335 specifications and are suitable for bending, flanging, and other forming processes. They are highly customizable in lengths up to 16000 mm, making them versatile for diverse high-temperature applications.

The P12 grade alloy steel pipes feature a minimum tensile strength of 415 MPa and a yield strength of 205 MPa, supporting a minimum elongation of 30%. This composition is ideal for critical applications, ensuring strength and flexibility. The chemical makeup, including 1% max molybdenum and 0.8% chromium, grants the alloy resistance against oxidation and embrittlement, making it suitable for demanding conditions, especially in boiler and superheater tubes.

Our ASTM A335 P12 pipes are manufactured using advanced cold-drawn or hot-rolled methods, depending on client specifications. Each pipe undergoes rigorous quality checks, including hydrostatic and non-destructive electric testing, ensuring compliance with international standards. We also offer P12 pipes with different end finishes, such as beveled, plain, or threaded, and protective coatings like 3LPE or FBE to further enhance corrosion resistance.

Kwality Steelage’s P12 pipes are engineered to serve in applications where high-temperature service is essential. Common uses include power plant piping, oil and gas drilling operations, and heat transfer equipment like heat exchangers and boilers. The versatility of our product extends to its range of forms, including round, square, and rectangular shapes, and meets specific industry demands with options like ASME SA335 P12 seamless pipes and P12 alloy steel ERW tubes.

Welding and Heat Treatment for ASTM A335 P12 Pipes

For ASTM A335 P12 pipes, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is essential, particularly for thicker sections exceeding 13 mm. Preheating to around 120°C is often used for thinner sections to mitigate stress and prevent potential cracking during welding. This process ensures greater stability, reduces hardness, and maintains reliable mechanical integrity, making it ideal for high-temperature applications.
