Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings Shipment to the UK – ASME B16.9 & BS EN 10253-2 Compliance

Haihao Group recently completed a mixed shipment of carbon steel pipe fittings for a UK customer, covering a wide range of elbows, tees, reducers, and caps manufactured to ASME B16.9 and BS EN 10253-2 standards.
This order reflects Haihao Group’s capability to supply both American standard and European standard pipe fittings within one project, while maintaining consistent quality control and traceability.

Carbon steel pipe fittings shipment to UK including elbows, tees, reducers

Project Overview

The UK customer required carbon steel fittings for pipeline construction and maintenance, with strict requirements on dimensional accuracy, wall thickness tolerance, material grade, and surface protection.
According to the application environment, the shipment included fittings finished with black painting and anti-rust oil coating.

All products were manufactured, inspected, and packed in accordance with the customer’s technical specifications and delivery schedule.

Supplied Product Range

Carbon Steel Elbows

The shipment covered both long radius (LR) and short radius (SR) elbows, including:

• 45 degree long radius elbows
• 90 degree long radius elbows
• 90 degree short radius elbows

Size range: from 1 1/2 inch up to 20 inch
Wall thickness: STD / WT, SCH 20, and specified EN thicknesses

These elbows were produced under:

• ASME B16.9 carbon steel elbows ASTM A234 Gr WPB
• BS EN 10253-2 P265GH pipe elbows

Carbon Steel Reducers

Both concentric reducers and eccentric reducers were included in the order, suitable for smooth flow transition and layout constraints in piping systems.

• Concentric reducers: small to large diameter transitions
• Eccentric reducers: flat-bottom design for horizontal pipelines

Standards & materials:

• ASME B16.9 reducers ASTM A234 WPB
• BS EN 10253-2 reducers P265GH

Reducers were supplied in multiple diameter combinations, covering standard and customized EN dimensions.

Carbon Steel Tees

The order also contained equal tees and reducing tees, commonly used in branching pipeline systems.

• Sizes from 2 inch up to 12 inch
• EN reducing tees with precise branch thickness control

Manufactured to:

• ASME B16.9 carbon steel tees
• BS EN 10253-2 P265GH tees

Carbon Steel Pipe Caps

Pipe caps were supplied for pipeline end protection and pressure testing purposes.

• ASME B16.9 caps with black painting
• EN 10253-2 P265GH caps with anti-rust oil

Each cap was checked for dimensional conformity and surface finish before shipment.

Materials & Standards

This shipment demonstrates Haihao Group’s experience in handling dual-standard projects:

• ASTM A234 Gr WPB – widely used carbon steel material for pressure piping systems
• P265GH – European pressure vessel and piping steel with good weldability

Applicable standards:

• ASME B16.9 – Factory-made wrought butt-welding fittings
• BS EN 10253-2 – Butt-welding pipe fittings for pressure purposes

All materials were supplied with inspection documentation to meet UK and EU project requirements.

Quality Control & Surface Treatment

To ensure safe transportation and on-site usability, Haihao Group applied different surface treatments based on customer needs:

• Black painted carbon steel pipe fittings for ASME items
• Anti-rust oil coated EN pipe fittings for corrosion protection during sea transport

Each batch underwent:

• Dimensional inspection
• Visual inspection
• Marking verification
