ASTM A335 P5 Pipe

A335 P5 Alloy Steel Pipe | A335 P5 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipes | ASME SA335 P5 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipes

ASTM A335 P5 Pipe is a high-performance alloy steel pipe specifically designed to withstand extreme temperatures and high pressures, making it ideal for critical applications in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, petrochemicals, and refining. Manufactured and supplied by Kwality Steelage Pvt. Ltd. in Mumbai, India, these seamless pipes are recognized for their durability and versatility in high-temperature environments. With chromium (Cr) content ranging from 4.00% to 6.00% and molybdenum (Mo) from 0.45% to 0.65%, ASTM A335 P5 pipes—also known as Chrome Moly pipes—provide enhanced corrosion resistance and increased strength.

ASTM A335 P5 Pipe

The chemical composition of A335 P5 Alloy Steel Pipes includes a maximum of 0.15% carbon, 0.30% to 0.60% manganese, and up to 0.50% silicon. This blend of elements enhances the alloy’s mechanical properties, achieving a minimum tensile strength of 415 MPa and a yield strength of 205 MPa. This robust composition makes P5 pipes suitable for applications that involve not only high heat but also significant mechanical stress, such as P5 Boiler Pipes and P5 Superheater Tubes used in power plants and refineries. Additionally, the pipes are ideal for bending, flanging, and other forming operations, as well as fusion welding, making them a flexible solution for custom configurations.

Kwality Steelage Pvt. Ltd. offers A335 P5 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipes in a range of sizes, from 1/2 inch to 36 inches (DN25 to DN900), with wall thickness options extending up to Schedule 160. The pipes are available in single random length (SRL), double random length (DRL), and custom cut lengths, providing flexibility for various industrial requirements. Surface treatments, including 3-layer polyethylene (3LPE) or fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings, can also be applied to enhance the corrosion resistance of these pipes, ensuring longevity even in harsh environmental conditions.

In terms of compliance, ASTM A335 P5 pipes meet both ASTM and ASME standards (A335/SA335), with strict quality control measures, including hydrostatic testing, flattening tests, and hardness testing, to ensure reliability and safety in critical applications. For heat treatment, these pipes undergo either full annealing or normalization and tempering, with temperatures typically reaching 675°C for optimal performance. For welded configurations like A335 Gr P5 Welded Pipes, additional heat treatments are performed to enhance structural integrity and reduce residual stress.

ASME SA335 P5 Alloy Steel Pipes are widely used across sectors, including petrochemical processing, fertilizer production, and gas processing industries, thanks to their resistance to wear, impact, and softening at high temperatures. Kwality Steelage Pvt. Ltd. is a trusted supplier and exporter of P5 Alloy Steel Pipes in India, offering a comprehensive range of ERW tubes, seamless round pipes, and specialized P5 alloy grades for varied industrial uses. Our extensive inventory of P5 Steel Pipes, P5 Grade Alloy Steel Pipes, and P5 Alloy Grade Material Pipes meets the diverse demands of clients, providing them with high-quality materials for applications requiring resilience and high-temperature endurance.
