Large-Diameter Stainless Steel Fittings for Critical Process Systems
This shipment demonstrates Haihao Group’s capability to manufacture ASTM A403 WP316L welded fittings for large-diameter industrial piping systems. Components with a 38-inch outside diameter require precise forming, controlled welding procedures, accurate bevel machining, and rigorous dimensional inspection to ensure smooth field installation.
The supplied fittings feature:
- ASME B16.9 dimensional compliance
- Factory-prepared welding bevels
- Large-diameter welded construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance of 316/316L stainless steel
- Reliable performance in petrochemical, offshore, LNG, and chemical processing applications
Each ASTM A403 WP316L welded fittings order is produced under a comprehensive quality management system to ensure consistency throughout manufacturing.
Comprehensive Material Verification and Testing
To satisfy the customer’s project specifications, Haihao Group provided complete traceability and inspection documentation with every fitting.
The supplied documentation includes:
- Original Mill Test Certificate (MTC)
- Chemical composition analysis
- Mechanical property report
- Positive Material Identification (PMI) report with on-site PMI photographs
- Heat treatment records
- Intergranular corrosion test report
The MTC also specifies:
- Tensile specimen orientation
- Gauge length width
- Test specimen direction
This detailed information allows project engineers and inspection authorities to verify full compliance with procurement specifications.
Solution Heat Treatment for Superior Corrosion Resistance
All fittings received solution annealing in accordance with the customer’s requirements.
The heat treatment process included:
- Solution Annealing (Minimum 1040°C)
- Water Quenching
This process restores the corrosion resistance of stainless steel after welding while maintaining the mechanical properties required for demanding service environments.
In addition, every ASTM A403 WP316L welded fittings component successfully met the ASTM A262 Practice E Intergranular Corrosion Test, demonstrating resistance to sensitization and intergranular attack after fabrication.
