Vishal Steel (India) is a manufacturer, exporter & suppliers of ASTM A234 WPB Fittings, Chrome-Molybdenum ASTM A234 WPB Fittings for the petrochemical, nuclear, gas and oil industries, Norsok Ed4, BP, Saudi Aramco, SABIC and Shell approved, producing ASTM A234 WPB alloy steel butt welding pipe fittings, ASTM A234 Chrome Moly Grade WPB Fittings in accordance to ASME B16.9. Vishal Steel India offers a widest range of ASTM A234 WPB buttweld pipe fittings such as ASTM A234 WPB Reducer, ASTM A234 WPB Elbow, ASTM A234 WPB Tee, ASTM A234 WPB Cross, ASTM A234 WPB Stub Ends and ASTM A234 WPB Piggable Bends. ASTM A234 is the standard specification for pipe fittings of wrought carbon steel and alloy steel for moderate and high-temperature service. The Cr-Mo low alloy steel pipe fittings has been separately listed on our website. Carbon steel pipe fittings manufactured to ASMT A234 are usually furnished in butt-welding form in accordance with ASME B16.9
There are two carbon steel grades: WPB and WPC, of which ASTM A234 WPB is mostly often used in pipeline industry. The A234 WPB butt-welding pipe fittings include elbows, bends, returns, tees, reducers, end caps, crosses, lap joint stub ends, nipples and couplings.
- The WPB is not short hand for any process. It is simply an identifier developed by ASTM. The fittings in question are manufactured in the same manner as the companion pipe for this specification.
- In very large sizes, the fittings may be manufactured in pieces and welded together as is the case for many large fittings.
- The term used for the manufacturing is called “wrought” which means it is worked as opposed to being cast or forged.
- As to the W standing for weldable, I’m not sure that is correct since that are many, many pipe fittings that are weldable but carry designations other than a W. Note the reference below.
Forging is the manufacturing process of ASTM A234 WPB pipe fittings.
- W = WELDABLE / wrought
- P = RELATED TO P NUMBER OF ALLOY MATERIAL
- B = REFER TO MINIMUM YIELD OF MATERIAL
