ASTM A335 P9, P11, P22, P91 Pipe specifications
ASTM A335 is the seamless ferritic alloy steel pipe that used in high-temperature services and boiler industry. Common used Grade P5, P9, P11, P22, P91.
ASTM A335 pipe also named as ASME S/A335 Chrome-Moly pipe, it is a type of seamless pipe used in high temperature environments of 540 – 750 °C. It covers nominal wall and minimum wall thickness pipe that with alloy material. The pipe under this specification shall be suitable for bending, flanging, and all the other similar processing and formations. Although it shall be good for fusion welding. the material could also used to produce pipe fittings like elbow, tee, reducers and flanges.
Grade P5, P9, P11, P22 and P91 pipe refer pipe fittings material in ASTM A234 WP5, WP9 ,WP11, WP22 WP91, where flange material in ASTM A182 F5, F9, F11, etc. They have similar chemical composition and mechanical properties.

P91 pipe – A Premium Alloy Pipe
ASTM A335 Grade P91 pipe is premium grade pipe applied for high pressure boiler. And P91 pipe is ideal when it comes to bending, flanging or when it is used in similar operations such as welding. The material of steel should stick to the composition of chemicals, tensile property and the requirements of hardness.
ASTM A335 P91 alloy steel pipe and high pressure boiler pipes are the two variants available and the range is dependent based on the size, which is solely based on the usage. The length of the pipe will be subject to hydrostatic test and there will also be a non-destructive examination based on the specifications.
As a result, The chrome moly pipe finds high usage in power generation industry and petrochemical industry owing to its resistance to corrosion, tensile strength, strength for high temperature owing to its cost-effectiveness.
P5, P9, P11, P22, P91 Pipe Application
This chrome moly pipe featured grades are ASTM A335 P5, P9, P11, P22, P91, so also it could be called as P Grade pipe in some cases.
P11 pipe, P22 pipe and P91 pipes are used in power industry and petro-chemical plants, meanwhile, P5 and P9 pipe generally find usage in refineries.
