ASTM A182 Grade F22 Pipe Fittings (Companion to B16 Bolting)
While ASTM A193 B16 specifies high-temperature bolting, the matching Pipe Fittings required for the same severe service conditions are commonly manufactured to the ASTM A182 Grade F22 specification. This material is a Chromium-Molybdenum (2.25% Cr) alloy steel that exhibits excellent strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures, making it the ideal companion for B16 bolting in critical piping applications above $800^\circ\text{F}$ ($427∘C). These fittings, which include Forged Flanges, Elbows, Tees, and Reducers , are manufactured via forging to ensure maximum durability and pressure containment. F22 fittings are essential for maintaining the pressure boundary integrity in steam lines, high-pressure headers, and other equipment within thermal power plants and refineries, where the entire bolted joint assembly (fittings and fasteners) must possess superior thermal stability.
