ASTM A333

Standard Overview:
ASTM A333 specifies the requirements for seamless and welded steel pipes for use in cryogenic environments.

Main Material:
It covers a variety of low-temperature grades of carbon steel and alloy steel, the most common of which are Grade 1, Grade 6, Grade 8, etc.

Scope of Application:
ASTM A333 steel pipes are mainly used in pipeline systems that need to work in cryogenic environments. They are widely used in pipeline systems that transport cryogenic fluids such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), ethylene, and liquid carbon dioxide.

Chemical Requirement

Our ASTM A333 steel pipe has a special chemical makeup. It ensures optimal performance in cryogenic conditions. The pipe has a carbon content of less than 0.30%. For every 0.01% reduction in carbon, the manganese content can increase by 0.05% above 1.06%, up to a max of 1.35%. This careful balance of elements increases the pipe’s strength, durability, and low-temperature impact resistance.

  • A variety of ferritic steel grades are available, each selected for its superior performance in cold conditions.
  • Our ASTM A333 pipes are made with seamless or welded processes. They contain no filler metal. This ensures the highest quality and durability.
  • We test our pipes thoroughly. This includes tensile, flattening, hardness, and bend tests.
  • For material heat treated in batch furnaces, 5% of the pipes from each processing batch are tested.
  • Our ASTM A333 pipes are made of ferritic steel. They come in various grades. Each grade is designed for peak performance in cryogenic applications.
  • When ordering Grade 6, we ensure that no elements other than those listed in the ordered grade are added. However, additions of elements required for deoxidation of the steel are permitted.
  • We also test each heat treatment load with hydrostatic and impact tests. This ensures the pipe’s strength and durability.
