What does WPL6 mean on ASTM A420 pipe fittings?

• The "WPL6" in ASTM A420 WPL6 pipe fittings indicates their grade of material. It represents "Wrought Pipe Low-Temperature Grade 6." The fittings are crafted from carbon steel and can efficiently function in low-temperature environments.
• The WPL6 grade of material has a certain chemical composition and mechanical properties. Hence, the low temp pipe fittings can serve in low-temperature environments, typically down to -50°F (-45°C).

What are the 8 limitations of ASTM A420 WPL6 pipe fittings?

• ASTM A420 WPL6 fittings, designed for low-temperature applications may not be suitable for high-temperature environments.
• These only suit carbon steel pipes and aren't compatible with other materials. Examples are stainless steel or non-ferrous alloys.
• They aren't suitable for high-pressure applications.
• Proper welding techniques and procedures must be followed when installing them.
• These are at risk of corrosion in certain environments and cost higher than standard carbon steel fittings.

How do you identify CS and Ltcs fittings?

• CS and LTCS fittings are typically marked with relevant specifications. Look for markings such as "CS" or "LTCS" on the fittings,
• Request material certificates from the concerned supplier or manufacturer to identify CS and LTCS fittings.
• CS fittings have markings like "A234" or "A105," while the other fittings may be marked as "A420 WPL6" or "A333 Grade 6." These grade markings provide further indication of the material type.
• CS fittings generally have a coarser grain structure than LTCS material, which can be recognized by visual inspection.

Top 8 advantages of ASTM A420 grade WPL6 pipe fittings

• ASTM A420 Grade WPL6 pipe fittings can operate in low-temperature environments.
• WPL6 fittings exhibit excellent impact toughness
• The carbon steel composition of WPL6 fittings provides good corrosion resistance.
• With high tensile and yield strength, they can handle high-pressure applications without deformation or failure.
• During installation, the fittings can be efficiently and reliably welded.
• These are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and configurations, like an A420 Grade WPL6 reducing tee.
• They are cost-effective options for low-temperature usage than higher alloy metals.
• Given their demand, these are often easily accessible from major manufacturers.
