Haihao Group Delivers ASTM A234 WPB Fittings to India for Industrial Piping Systems
Haihao Group recently completed the production and shipment of a large batch of ASTM A234 WPB fittings for an industrial customer in India. The order covered a wide range of carbon steel butt weld fittings manufactured according to ASME B16.9, including equal tees, reducing tees, concentric reducers, eccentric reducers, and long radius elbows.
In addition to carbon steel products, the shipment also included several stainless steel fittings manufactured from ASTM A403 WP304/304L material for specific corrosion-resistant applications.
All fittings were supplied with black-painted external surfaces to provide temporary corrosion protection during transportation and storage.

- 2″ SCH80
- 3″ STD
- 4″ STD
- 6″ STD
- 8″ STD
- 10″ STD
- 12″ STD
- 14″ STD
- 18″ STD
As a critical category of ASTM A234 WPB fittings, long radius elbows help reduce pressure loss and turbulence while changing pipeline direction.
Stainless Steel Fittings Included in the Project
To meet special process requirements, the customer also ordered stainless steel fittings manufactured according to ASTM A403 WP304/304L specifications.
Products included:
- 1″ × 1/2″ Reducing Tee
- 1″ × 1/2″ Concentric Reducer
These fittings provide excellent corrosion resistance in environments where carbon steel may not be suitable.
