The ASTM A335 P91 Pipe is a high-grade, seamless ferritic alloy steel pipe recognized for its exceptional strength and high-temperature resilience, specifically tailored for industries that demand durability and performance under extreme conditions. Composed of 9% chromium and 1% molybdenum, with trace elements like vanadium, this pipe offers enhanced creep strength, wear resistance, and oxidation protection, making it an ideal choice for power plants, chemical processing units, and oil and gas services.
Crafted through a precise heat treatment process involving normalization at 1050°C and tempering at 760°C, the P91 pipe delivers a minimum tensile strength of 585 MPa and a yield strength of 415 MPa. These mechanical attributes are complemented by the alloy’s corrosion resistance, which enables it to endure operational temperatures up to 650°C without compromising structural integrity. The added elements of vanadium, nitrogen, and columbium contribute significantly to the pipe’s durability, ensuring stability and longevity in high-temperature, cyclic environments.
ASTM A335 P91 is versatile and supports various applications, from boilers and reheat lines to heaters and gas processing systems. Its superior creep strength allows a reduced wall thickness, effectively minimizing hanger loads and welding time. This unique characteristic positions it as a cost-effective, efficient solution for infrastructure in power generation facilities and other high-temperature industries. Additionally, it’s ideal for seamless fittings, valves, and flanges, all critical in ensuring safe and efficient fluid and gas transmission.
Available in sizes from ½” to 24” and schedules ranging from SCH 40 to SCH XXS, Kwality Steelage Pvt. Ltd. provides the ASTM A335 P91 pipe in custom lengths, finishes, and ends, including beveled and plain ends. For enhanced durability, the pipe is available with various external coatings, including varnishing, 3LPE, and FBE, ensuring adaptability across different industrial requirements.
Manufactured in strict accordance with ASTM A335 and ASME SA335 standards, P91 pipes come with precise dimensional tolerances for both inside and outside diameters, ensuring accuracy in high-stress applications. Dimensional tolerances vary based on size, ranging up to ±0.79mm for pipes with diameters over 8 inches, which meet the demands for tight tolerance control in modern industrial environments.
The distinctive blend of chromium and molybdenum in ASTM A335 P91 Pipe enhances oxidation resistance and temperature strength, ideal for power plants and petrochemical installations. The addition of minor alloying elements like vanadium and nitrogen further bolsters the alloy’s structural properties, preventing embrittlement, reducing oxidation, and increasing resistance to wear and tear. Molybdenum, in particular, contributes to the high temperature creep strength, making it a highly reliable option in demanding, cyclic applications.

Welding ASTM A335 P91 pipes requires precise temperature control to maintain mechanical properties and prevent cracking. Preheating to 200°C is recommended, and Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) is essential for pipes over 13 mm in thickness to relieve residual stresses and ensure structural stability. PWHT typically involves heating between 730°C and 800°C to provide optimal durability in high-stress applications.
