ASTM A333

astm a333

ASTM A333 / A333M – 16 Standard Specification for Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low-Temperature Service and Other Applications.

ASTM A333 alloy pipe shall be made by the seamless or welding process with the addition of no filler metal in the welding operation. All seamless and welded pipes shall be treated to control their microstructure.

Scope

ASTM A333 covers nominal (average) wall seamless and welded carbon and alloy steel pipe intended for use at low temperatures. Several grades of ferritic steel are included. Some product sizes may not be available under this specification because heavier wall thicknesses have an adverse affect on low-temperature impact properties.

A333 pipe is furnished to nine different grades designated by numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11.

Heat Treatment:

Grades 1 and 6 shall be heat treated to control their microstructure.

ASTM A333 Grade 6 and ASME SA 333 Grade 6 are heat treated to achieve normalized condition @ 920 degrees Celsius with controlled microstructure.

Specific Impact requirements

The raw material used for low temperature service pipe is ALUMINIUM killed with high proportion of manganese (more than 1%) combined with low proportions of carbon (less than 0.23%).For low temperature pipe to be certified as LTCS additional impact test should be conducted at low temperatures, as per mandatory requirements in section 8 of ASTM A 333.
