P91 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe


The major constituents and Molybdenum (Moly) and Chromium (Chrome). These elements provide the pipe with specific properties such as enhanced corrosion resistance and an overall increase in strength, creep resistance and wear resistance. P91 pipes contain other alloys in minimal quantities such as aluminium, columbium, nickel, nitrogen, titanium, vanadium and zirconium in the composition. The pipes are based on the A335 standard but when forged or bored these pipes can also come under the A369 standard. These pipes have minimum yield strength of 415 MPA and a minimum tensile strength of 585 MPA. The elongation limit of these pipes ranges from 20% to 30%. ASTM A335 GR. P91 pipes get its enhanced creep strength and durability due to the heat treatment process, in which the metal is normalized at 1500 Deg. C, air cooled at 200 Deg. C and then tempered by heat at 760 Deg. C.

All of these properties make the P91 pipes ideal for use in industrial plants, factories and refineries where these pipes can be used to carry fluids and gasses such as water, oil and steam at extremely high temperatures. Due to their high wear resistance, these pipes last longer and thus are extremely economically viable. These pipes can be used at continuously high temperatures of about 650°C.
