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.
