ASTM A335 Grade P11 is also commonly known as ASME SA335 Grade P11 Pipes, it is a seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe that mainly has high-temperature applications. The UNS designation for this grade P11 is K11597.
The key elements of P11 pipes are carbon, manganese, phosphorous, sulfur, silicon, chromium and molybdenum. Its key components are chrome and moly that provide it with strength, resistance against wear, hardenability as well as corrosion resistance properties. It is also possible to heat treat this alloy. The chromium within the alloy increases its resistance to oxidation allowing it to be used in corrosive high-temperature environments. Molybdenum addition enhances strength and wear resistance.

P11 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe
These pipes are highly important for transformers and electric motors as this equipment use the magnetic properties of the P11 Alloy for certain tasks. Seamless pipes of this alloy have less roughness which is important for certain sensitive applications. The ASTM A335 P11 pipes are majorly used in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
