ASME B16.9 Low Temperature Pipe Fittings A420 WPL6 & A860 WPHY65 Shipped to UAE

This shipment to an UAE client brings together two performance-focused carbon steel grades for low-temperature pipeline service, all manufactured to ASME B16.9. The package combines seamless long radius elbows, a concentric reducer, and a large 36-inch longitudinal welded elbow, with strict Charpy impact requirements set at -46°C.

The A420 WPL6 ASME B16.9 fitting is the core material for most components in this order. It includes a 20 inch SCH 100 seamless 90° LR elbow, a 20”×18” SCH 80 concentric reducer, and the 36 inch STD long radius elbow. Every A420 WPL6 ASME B16.9 fitting receives controlled heat treatment, with impact specimens tested to meet the 27 Joule requirement at -46°C. Sulphur content is tightly controlled below 0.01% to avoid brittle zones and maintain consistent toughness for cold operating conditions.

Alongside the low-temperature grade, we supplied a 20 inch long radius butt weld elbow in A860 WPHY65, with wall thickness 17.20 mm. This high-strength pipe fitting also passed the same -46°C impact test, hitting 34 Joules minimum. The client specified separate toughness targets for each material grade, so our QC team grouped test coupons by heat lot and recorded each set of impact values separately, rather than grouping all test results together.

ASME B16.9 A420 WPL6 and A860 WPHY65 elbows and concentric reducers for UAE low temperature pipeline

For UAE EPC contractors, mixed-grade piping packages like this are common for cross-country and process lines. A420 WPL6 ASME B16.9 fitting handles sections exposed to cold ambient or chilled process media, while A860 WPHY65 serves high-pressure transmission segments where higher yield strength is required. All ends are prepared for butt welding, matching the standard bevel details that field crews in the GCC region are familiar with.

Before packing, each fitting went through dimensional inspection, material verification, and full documentation collation. Test reports list impact energy values, chemical composition including sulphur content, and heat treatment records. We supply physical test coupons alongside the 36-inch elbow as requested, so the client can carry out third-party verification on site if needed.

We regularly support UAE and GCC pipeline projects with custom low-temperature butt weld fittings. If your specification calls for ASME B16.9 elbows, reducers or tees with defined Charpy impact criteria at sub-zero temperatures, share your material datasheet and wall schedule with our technical team for a detailed quotation.
