WPB, WP1, WP12, WP9 Carbon Steel Fitting
Material
WPB, WP1, WP12, and WP9 carbon steel fittings are manufactured from high-quality carbon and low-alloy steels, designed for high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems. These fittings are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and industrial piping networks.
-
WPB: Standard carbon steel for moderate temperature and pressure.
-
WP1: Low-alloy steel with chromium-molybdenum for high-temperature service.
-
WP12: Low-alloy steel with higher chromium-molybdenum content for high-temperature and pressure applications.
- WP9: Chromium-molybdenum steel for severe high-temperature applications.
