ASTM A691 GR 9 CR

ASTM A691 GR 9 CR pipes are available in sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 36 inches nominal bore (NB) with wall thicknesses reaching up to 75 mm. These pipes are offered in a variety of schedules, including SCH 40, SCH 80, SCH 120, and SCH XXS, to accommodate diverse operational requirements. With a tensile strength of 585–760 MPa and a minimum yield strength of 415 MPa, these pipes deliver exceptional performance under extreme conditions.

The chemical composition of ASTM A691 GR 9 CR pipes includes 9% chromium and 1% molybdenum, which significantly enhance their resistance to oxidation, creep, and high thermal stress. Complementary elements like carbon, manganese, silicon, and phosphorus ensure excellent weldability and toughness, making these pipes highly reliable for critical industrial applications. These properties make them indispensable for power plants, chemical processing facilities, and structural frameworks exposed to harsh conditions.

Dimensional precision is maintained with tolerances of ±1% for the outside diameter and +12.5%/-10% for wall thickness, ensuring compatibility with global standards. These pipes are available with various end options, including plain, beveled, and threaded, and come with anti-corrosion coatings, black painting, or galvanization. Custom lengths of up to 12 meters are also available to meet specific project requirements.

Kwality Steelage Pvt. Ltd. ensures stringent quality assurance through advanced testing methods like ultrasonic, hydrostatic, and radiographic inspections. Backed by global certifications, these pipes are meticulously packed in wooden crates or bundles to prevent damage during transportation. With a proven track record of delivering to markets in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, Kwality Steelage Pvt. Ltd. guarantees reliable products and unparalleled service.

Welding and Heat Treatment for ASTM A691 GR 9 CR Pipes

ASTM A691 GR 9 CR pipes require precise welding and heat treatment to ensure durability and optimal performance. These pipes undergo stress-relieving at 1100-1250°F (590-675°C) and can be normalized at up to 1700°F (925°C). Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is recommended for thicknesses exceeding 12 mm to minimize residual stresses and enhance weld strength.
