Basic performance
Chemical composition (typical values)
Carbon (C): ≤ 0.30%
Manganese (Mn): 0.291.06%
Silicon (Si): ≥ 0.10%
Nickel (Ni): Add a small amount (usually ≤ 0.50%) to improve low-temperature toughness.
Sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P): Strictly limit (≤ 0.025%) to ensure purity.
Mechanical properties
Tensile strength: ≥ 415 MPa (60 ksi)
Yield strength: ≥ 240 MPa (35 ksi)
Elongation rate: ≥ 30% (reflecting high ductility)
Low temperature impact toughness: Through the Charpy VNotch Test, it still meets the minimum impact energy requirement (usually ≥ 20 J) at 45 ° C.
heat treatment
Normalizing: A standard heat treatment process that refines grain size to improve low-temperature toughness.
Core advantages
Excellent low-temperature toughness: designed specifically for the temperature range of 45 ° C to 343 ° C to avoid low-temperature brittle fracture.
Good weldability: It can be processed through conventional welding methods such as TIG and MIG, and appropriate heat treatment is required after welding to eliminate residual stress.
Pressure resistance and sealing: suitable for medium and low pressure pipeline systems, meeting the safety requirements of pressure vessels and pipelines.
Main purpose
SA333 Gr.6 is widely used in pipeline systems for low-temperature service environments, with typical scenarios including:
1. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities: low-temperature storage tanks, transmission pipelines.
2. Refrigeration system: Transport of cryogenic media such as liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen.
3. Petrochemical industry: Process pipelines for low-temperature chemical fluids such as ethylene and propylene.
4. Air separation equipment: Low temperature pipelines in oxygen and nitrogen production units.
Precautions for Processing and Construction
Welding process: Low hydrogen welding rods are required, and stress relief annealing is required after welding.
Cold bending processing: Avoid excessive cold deformation that may cause local embrittlement.
Inspection requirement: 100% non-destructive testing (UT or RT) is required to ensure that the weld seam is defect free.
Standard specifications
ASME standards: comply with ASME BPVC (Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code) and ASME B31.3 (Process Piping Code).
Size range: The outer diameter is usually 624 inches (DN150DN600), with wall thickness covering Sch 40 to Sch 160.
