ASTM A426 CP1 CP2 CP5 CP5b CP9 Stainless Steel Tube Centrifugally Cast Ferritic Alloy Steel Pipe For High-Temperature Service
Material
ASTM A426 is a specification for centrifugally cast ferritic alloy steel pipes designed for high-temperature service. The materials used in these pipes are specifically formulated to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
Specification
The ASTM A426 specification outlines the requirements for the manufacturing and testing of ferritic alloy steel pipes. These pipes are primarily used in high-temperature applications, such as in power generation and petrochemical industries.
Key Features
- High-Temperature Resistance: Designed to perform under high thermal stress.
- Centrifugal Casting: Ensures uniformity and strength in the pipe structure.
- Ferritic Alloy Composition: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for various industrial applications requiring high durability.

Steel Grade
The ASTM A426 specification includes several grades, each tailored for specific applications and performance requirements. The grades include CP1, CP2, CP5, CP5b, and CP9, with increasing levels of alloying elements to enhance performance.
Application
These stainless steel tubes are widely used in:
- Power Generation: Boiler tubes and heat exchangers.
- Petrochemical Industry: Piping systems for high-temperature fluids.
- Chemical Processing: Equipment that requires high corrosion resistance.
Possible Alternative Grades
While ASTM A426 grades are specifically designed for high-temperature applications, alternative grades may include:
- ASTM A335 P11: For similar high-temperature applications.
- ASTM A213 T22: Another option for high-temperature service with different alloying elements.
- ASTM A312 TP304: Austenitic stainless steel for less extreme conditions.
