ASTM A691 GR 1 CR

The material composition of ASTM A691 GR 1 CR pipes is a balanced blend of 0.80–1.15% Chromium, 0.45–0.60% Molybdenum, and a controlled percentage of Carbon, Silicon, and Manganese, making them highly resistant to corrosion, scaling, and oxidation in extreme environments. These properties are further enhanced through precise manufacturing processes, including annealing, normalizing, and tempering heat treatments. With a minimum tensile strength of 450 MPa and a yield strength of 275 MPa, these pipes offer excellent mechanical properties, ensuring reliability under stress and prolonged operational life.

To ensure dimensional accuracy, ASTM A691 GR 1 CR pipes are manufactured with a strict tolerance of ±1% in outside diameter and +12.5%/-10% for wall thickness. The end finishes, including plain, beveled, or threaded options, make these pipes versatile for diverse industrial applications. Each pipe undergoes rigorous non-destructive testing methods such as hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic examination, and eddy current testing to verify their quality and compliance with global standards. The outer surface is coated with anti-corrosion oil or black painting to enhance protection during storage and transit.

These pipes are not only cost-effective but also offer flexibility in terms of customization. They are available in forms such as round, square, rectangular, and hydraulic configurations to suit specific industrial requirements. The seamless integration of advanced technology and high-grade raw materials makes ASTM A691 GR 1 CR Alloy Steel Pipes a preferred choice for demanding applications in sectors such as fluid and gas transmission, power generation, and offshore engineering.
