ASTM A860 WPHY 70
ASTM A860 WPHY 70 Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings
ASTM A860 WPHY 70 Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings, designed for high-pressure and high-strength pipeline systems. These wrought high-yield fittings are engineered to deliver exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy in critical applications such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power plants, and refineries.
Key Features:
- Material: The pipe fittings are made from carbon steel, offering excellent strength and durability.
- Yield Strength: 70,000 psi (485 MPa), which is high enough to withstand heavy stress in demanding environments.
- Applications: Commonly used in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, especially in applications requiring resistance to pressure and harsh conditions.
- End Use: These fittings are primarily used for pipelines that transport gas, oil, and other fluids under high pressure.
