Key Features & Advantages

Specifications

Material Composition and Quality

ASTM A335 P22 and P91 are both alloy steels designed for high-temperature applications, and their material compositions play a crucial role in their ability to withstand extreme conditions:

P22 (2.25Cr-1Mo): This grade of alloy steel is primarily composed of chromium and molybdenum, offering enhanced strength at elevated temperatures and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The low carbon content and controlled elements ensure excellent weldability and fabrication properties. P22 is typically used in boilers, power plants, and petrochemical plants.

P91 (9Cr-1Mo-V): P91 alloy steel contains higher chromium (9%) and molybdenum (1%) content, with the addition of vanadium, which increases its strength, creep resistance, and ability to perform at extremely high temperatures (up to 650°C). P91 is commonly used in ultra-supercritical boilers and other critical pressure vessel applications, where longevity and reliability are paramount.

Applications

The ASTM A335 P22 and P91 pipes are designed for high-performance applications that require the ability to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. Common applications include:

Boiler Systems:

P22 and P91 are often used in boilers for steam generation, especially in power plants. Their ability to handle elevated temperatures and pressures makes them crucial components for ensuring efficient and safe steam flow.

Power Generation:

These pipes are used in both conventional and advanced power generation systems. P91, in particular, is used in ultra-supercritical steam cycles, where high-temperature steam is required for maximum efficiency.

Pressure Vessels:

Used in pressure vessels, including those found in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and natural gas facilities, due to their high-strength properties at elevated temperatures.

Chemical Processing:

P22 and P91 are used in various chemical process piping applications, where resistance to high pressure and temperatures is critical.

Heat Exchangers:

Used in heat exchanger systems for cooling or heating applications in industries such as petrochemical, power plants, and nuclear energy.

Fossil Fuel Power Plants:

Essential in fossil fuel power plant installations, these pipes are used in turbine exhaust systems and superheaters.

Packaging and Transportation
