Introduction to the 180° A234-WP22 class 1 elbow with special radius

Haihao Group recently completed an order for a domestic client who required specialized A234 WP22 Class 1 180° elbows. These elbows are specifically engineered for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, showcasing our capability to deliver customized and high-quality piping components.

Material and Specifications

The elbows are made from A234 WP22, a material specification for wrought alloy steel pipe fittings used in high-temperature service. The “WP22” grade indicates a composition of chromium and molybdenum, which enhances the material’s strength, temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. The addition of these alloying elements makes it ideal for use in the oil, gas, and power industries, where reliability under extreme conditions is critical.

Class 1 designates the manufacturing and testing class of the fitting, ensuring it meets strict industry standards for safety and performance.
