ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Pipe Fittings are high-strength, durable, and reliable components widely used in critical industrial applications like oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation plants. These fittings are designed to connect, change direction, or control the flow in piping systems that handle high pressure and corrosive environments.
As a trusted A860 Gr WPHY 52 fittings manufacturer in India, we supply a comprehensive range of CS WPHY 52 High Yield Pipe Fittings built with precision and certified to international standards. Our products are known for their toughness, consistent performance, and superior weldability, making them ideal for modern industrial infrastructure.
What is ASTM A860 WPHY 52?
ASTM A860 is the standard specification covering wrought high-strength ferritic steel butt-weld fittings for pressure piping and pipelines. The term WPHY stands for Wrought Pipe High Yield, and the number 52 represents the minimum yield strength of 52,000 psi.
Hence, ASTM A860 WPHY 52 fittings are made from high-strength low-alloy carbon steel designed to handle high-pressure applications. These fittings maintain excellent mechanical properties and toughness, even at low temperatures, making them ideal for demanding service conditions.
Advantages of ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Fittings
- High Yield Strength: With a yield strength of 52,000 psi, these fittings can handle high-pressure environments efficiently.
- Excellent Toughness: They maintain impact resistance even at sub-zero temperatures.
- Superior Weldability: The fittings can be easily welded without losing mechanical integrity.
- Corrosion Resistance: Provides good resistance against oxidation and corrosion in various media.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Manufactured to tight tolerances for easy installation and leak-free operation.
Types of ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Pipe Fittings
We manufacture and export a full range of ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Pipe Fittings to meet various industrial needs. Each type ensures a precise fit and leak-free performance.
Carbon Steel Grade 52 Elbow
The Carbon Steel Grade 52 Elbow is used to change the flow direction of the pipeline, typically by 45° or 90°. These elbows are available in both long radius (LR) and short radius (SR) designs.
ASTM A860 Carbon Steel Buttweld Elbow
These elbows are seamless or welded and designed for high-pressure systems. The ASTM A860 Carbon Steel Buttweld Elbow ensures smooth flow with minimal turbulence and resistance.
Carbon Steel X52 Equal Cross
This fitting connects four pipes at right angles, ensuring even distribution of fluid. The Carbon Steel X52 Equal Cross is ideal for complex pipelines requiring multiple connections.
WPHY Gr 52 Long Radius Bend
The WPHY Gr 52 Long Radius Bend provides gradual direction change in pipelines, minimizing stress and flow resistance. It’s perfect for critical flow systems in petrochemical and refinery applications.
Carbon WPHY 52 End Pipe Cap
A Carbon WPHY 52 End Pipe Cap seals the ends of pipes securely, protecting the system from contaminants, corrosion, or pressure loss.
Advantages of ASTM A403 WP347 Buttweld Fittings
- Prevents leakage in pipelines.
- Long-lasting, reducing frequent replacement costs.
- Handles thermal expansion effectively.
- Easy to install and maintain.
- Meets strict international safety standards.
Manufacturing and Quality Standards
We use state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, including hot forming, cold forming, and heat treatment, to produce fittings that meet ASTM A860 and MSS SP 75 standards. Every product undergoes stringent quality control, including hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic inspection, and radiography, ensuring zero defects.
As a stockist of ASTM A860 MSS SP 75 WPHY 52 Pipe Fittings, we maintain a ready inventory of elbows, tees, reducers, caps, and crosses to meet urgent project requirements.
ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Chemical Composition
The ASTM A860 Gr WPHY 52 material typically contains elements such as carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon, along with micro-alloying additions like niobium and vanadium. This composition gives the fittings superior yield strength, good impact resistance, and high toughness.
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.26 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 1.15 – 1.50 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.025 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.015 |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.15 – 0.40 |
| Niobium (Nb) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Vanadium (V) | ≤ 0.05 |
ASTM A860 WPHY 52 Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum Yield Strength | 52,000 psi (360 MPa) |
| Minimum Tensile Strength | 66,000 psi (455 MPa) |
| Elongation | 22% minimum |
| Hardness (Brinell) | 235 HB max |
