ASTM A234 specification covers wrought carbon steel and alloy steel fittings of seamless and welded construction covered by the latest revision of ASME B16.9, B16.11, MSS-SP-79, MSS-SP-83, and MSS-SP-95. These fittings are for use in pressure piping and in pressure vessel fabrication for service at moderate and elevated temperatures.

Tensile Requirements | WPB | WPC, WP11CL2 | WP11CL1 | WP11CL3 |
Tensile Strength, min, ksi[MPa] | 60-85 | 70-95 | 60-85 | 75-100 |
(0.2% offset or 0.5% extension-under-load) | [415-585] | [485-655] | [415-585] | [520-690] |
Yield Strength, min, ksi[MPa] | 32 | 40 | 30 | 45 |
[240] | [275] | [205] | [310] |
Where the wall thickness lies between two values above, the min elongation value is determined by the following equations:
Longitudinal E=48t+15.00
Transverse E=32t+10.00
E = elongation in 2in [50mm], %
t = actual thickness of specimen, in [mm]
