What are WPHY 60 fittings?
These fittings are produced from carbon steel and are referred to as high-yield products because they have good mechanical properties.

Different types of ASTM A860 WPHY 60 pipe fittings used in piping applications
One can often see different fittings in piping systems including – Stub End (Type A, B & C), End Cap (Seamless & Welded), Reducer (Concentric & Eccentric ), Elbow (90-Degree, 45-Degree, Long Radius, & Short Radius), and Tee (Equal & Reducing).
Inspection of ASTM A860 WPHY 60 elbow
Inspection of a fitting is carried out by visual examination for dents, defects, die marks, undercuts, porosity, etc. on its surface. Markings are checked including – thickness, size, heat number, material code & grade. The dimensions of the ASTM A860 WPHY 60 Elbow are also measured (height from end to end, outside diameter, wall thickness ).
Advantages of using ASTM A860 Grade WPHY 60 carbon steel fittings
High hardness and toughness are characteristics associated with economical carbon steel fittings. And though the corrosion resistance properties range between moderate to low in Carbon Steel, they can be increased by surface treatments or coating. Lastly, the high content of carbon makes the ASTM A860 Grade WPHY 60 Fittings resilient to elevated temperatures.
Raw materials for producing MSS SP75 WPHY 60 tee
Typically, carbon steel tees are produced from components like forged bars, forgings & plates. Seamless products or fusion-welded tibia products could also be used for an MSS SP75 WPHY 60 Tee with its filler metal.
Hardness requirements for API 5L WPHY Grade 60 reducer
The hardness requirements for grade 52 fittings have to be approx 235 HBW or 22 HRC.
