Haihao Group Delivers ASTM A420 WPL6 Seamless Concentric Reducer to UAE for ADNOC Project
Haihao Group has successfully completed the production and shipment of a seamless concentric reducer for a customer in the United Arab Emirates. The reducer is manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.9 and is intended for use in an ADNOC engineering project, where strict quality and material requirements are essential.
The product is a 24″ × 18″ seamless concentric reducer with Schedule XS wall thickness, made from ASTM A420 Grade WPL6 low-temperature carbon steel. This material is widely used in pipeline systems operating in low-temperature or demanding industrial environments, offering excellent toughness and mechanical strength.
To meet project specifications, the reducer underwent heat treatment and strict chemical composition control, including low sulfur and phosphorus content (S < 0.015), ensuring enhanced material purity and performance.
