ASME SA234 WPB/WPC Buttweld Fittings are essential components in piping systems, primarily constructed from carbon steel. These fittings adhere to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) SA234 specification, which outlines their material grade, size range, manufacturing standards, and applications. The material grades typically include WPB and WPC, both of which are carbon steel variants. WPB boasts a carbon content range of 0.30% to 0.35%, while WPC has a slightly higher carbon content range of 0.35% to 0.50%. These fittings are available in a versatile size range, spanning from 1/2 inch to 48 inches (DN15 to DN1200), making them suitable for a wide array of piping needs.
Manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.9, which addresses factory-made wrought buttwelding fittings, these fittings undergo heat treatment as needed, including processes such as normalization, quenching, and tempering, to ensure their mechanical properties meet industry standards. Material Test Reports (MTRs) are provided in compliance with ASME SA234 requirements to certify the quality and composition of the fittings.
