Why ASTM A860 WPHY 46 pipe fittings are used in the petrochemical industry?
As a high-yield wrought product, these fittings have very high tensile strength. In fact, the valuation of its tensile strength stands at 63000 Psi. A high tensile value is an indication that ASTM A860 WPHY 46 Pipe Fittings can withstand high-pressure levels without any strain. In petrochemical industries, the piping systems make use of high-tensile equipment – including fittings because they are sturdy and can deal with pressure fluctuations.
Heat treatment of high-yield 46000 PSI equal tee
One or multiple heat treatments may be applied to the fittings. They may be stress-relieved (annealed) or normalized. It is also possible to use a combination of normalizing and tempering or quenching and tempering as heat treatments for the High-Yield 46000 PSI Equal Tee.
Available coating types of ASME SA860 WPHY 46 elbow
Sandblasting is usually carried out internally and externally to achieve a smoother surface and eliminate extra welds. To improve the corrosion resistance properties, often, the ASME SA860 WPHY 46 Elbow will be coated with an anti-rust oil coating, Black coating or zinc-plating. Hot-dipped galvanization creates a thicker coat throughout the fitting, thereby offering considerably higher corrosion resistance.
Welding procedure of WPHY 46 buttweld fittings
To achieve high-quality welds, it is vital to follow certain specifications related to either ASTM or API. The most common standard followed while welding WPHY 46 Buttweld Fittings is Section IX of with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Under Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the fittings are to undergo Post-weld heat treatment. The bevelled welded ends of the WPHY 46 Fittings are to be furnished differently in terms of wall thickness.
MSS SP75 WPHY 46 reducer tests and examinations
In order to determine its accuracy and to check for deformities, the WPHY fittings are put through different tests. Some of the examinations subjected to the MSS SP75 WPHY 46 Reducer include – The Charpy test, hydrostatic test(proof test), Liquid Penetration Examination(LPE), PMI(spectrum), radiographic examination(X-Rays, RT), magnetic particles inspection(MPI), tensile tests, ultrasonic examination(UT), etc.
