Chrome Moly Alloy A335/SA335 Grade P91 Pipe is a high-grade, seamless pipe used in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, primarily in the power generation industry. Here’s an integrated overview, combining both general information and specific data typically found in a detailed datasheet:
General Overview:
- Specification Standards: ASTM A335 for American Society for Testing and Materials, ASME SA335 for American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
- Grade: P91, part of the P-Grade alloy steels known for high temperature and pressure resistance.
- Applications: Utilized in high-temperature services like superheater and reheater lines, steam piping in power plants, and other similar environments. Also used in refineries and chemical plants.
- Features: Offers high temperature resistance (up to around 600°C), excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance, and good weldability with appropriate preheating and post-weld heat treatments.
