11/30/2019 ASTM A234 WPB Steel Pipe Fittings Standard Specification
ASTM A234 standard steel pipe fittings have been widely applied in pipeline systems, it includes carbon and alloy steel material.
For industrial purposes, in pipeline systems usually we need to change the transmission direction; Adjust fluids (oil and gas, water, slurry) flow rate;
Open or close the pipelines, etc. So to complete these activities, steel pipe fittings will be applied.
ASTM A234 includes wrought carbon steel and alloy steel fittings of seamless and welded construction covered by the latest revision of ASTM B16.9,
B16.11, MSS-SP-79, MSS-SP-83, MSS-SP-95, and MSS-SP-97. etc.
As we know, ASTM A234 steel pipe fittings are used in pressure piping and in pressure vessel fabrication, for services at moderate and elevated
temperatures. The fittings material in this standard consist of killed steel, forgings, bars, plates, seamless or fusion-welded tubular products with filler
metal added.
In this standard it covers the specification of elbows, tees, reducers, caps and cross, it usually adopt butt welding ends.
In these standard Grade WPB is the most common material used for medium and high temperature pipelines. W means weldable, P means pressure, B is
grade b, refer to the minimum yield strength.
The source raw material of ASTM A234 WPB steel pipe fittings may be from steel pipe, such as ASTM A106 Gr.B and C. Also from steel plate, as
ASTM A285 Gr.C, ASTM A516 Gr 70, ASTM A572 etc.
ASTM A234 WPB steel pipe fitting chemical and mechanical features
Grade WPB fittings made from the steel pipes or plates maximum C is 0.35%.
Forging fittings Carbon content 0.35% maximum and Silicon content 0.35% maximum, no minimum.
For each reduce of 0.01 of Carbon content, Manganese maximum content increase 0.06%, up to the maximum 1.35% for Mn.
Copper, Nickel, Niobium and Molybdenum sum content shall not exceed 1.00%.

11/30/2019 ASTM A234 WPB Steel Pipe Fittings Standard Specification
For the seamless steel pipe fittings refers to the fittings raw material from the seamless steel pipes and tubes;
Thus the welded steel pipe fittings covers the fittings raw material from welded steel pipes.
ASTM A234 specification does not cover cast welding fittings or fittings machined from castings.
During the manufacturing steel pipe fittings, below activities shall be noted:
Alloy steel pipe fittings includes buttweld fittings, alloy steel long radius bend, alloy steel forged fittings and so on.
The alloy steel buttweld fittings adopts ASTM A234 standard, has WP1, WP5, WP11, WP12, WP22,WP23 and WP91 grades. Class level in CL1, CL2,
CL3.
ASTM A234 alloy steel pipe fittings includes alloy steel elbows in long and short radius, alloy steel eccentric & concentric reducer, alloy steel caps &
crosses, alloy steel couplings, alloy steel tees, alloy steel nipples, alloy steel caps and etc more forms. It has seamless, welded and fabricated types.
For alloy steel forged fittings, it adopts ASTM A182 standard refers to steel pipe flanges. Material standard in ASTM A182 F1, F5, F9, F11 Class 1, F12
Class 1, F22 Class 1 ETC.
