Product Description

ASTM A860 – Wrought High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel Butt-Welding Fittings

 

Grade: WPHY65

A860 WPHY65 is wrought high-strength low alloy steel for butt-welding fittings of seamless and electric fusion welded construction covered by the latest revisions of ASME B16.9, ASME 16.28, and MSS-SP-75. Butt-welding fittings differing from these ASME and MSS standards shall be furnished in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S58 of Specification A 960/A 960M. These fittings are for use in high-pressure gas and oil transmission and distribution systems.

Mechanical Requirements

Property	WPHY 65
Yield strength, minA 0.2 % offset, ksi [MPa]	65 [450]
Tensile strength, ksi [Mpa]	77[530] −102 [705]
Elongation:
Standard round specimen, or small-size proportional specimen, min, % in 4D	25
Rectangular specimen, for section thickness 5⁄16 in. [7.94mm] and over, and for all small sizes tested in full section; min, % in 2 in. [50 mm].	32
Rectangular specimen for thickness less than 5⁄16 in. [7.94mm]; min, % 2 in. [50 mm]. Width of specimen 11⁄2 in. [40mm].	B

 

Toughness: Cv energy absorption C; measured at −50°F [−46°C].

Size, mm	Average/min, ft·lbs[J]	Lateral Expansion min, MLS[mm]
10 × 10	30/25 [40/34]	25 [0.64]
10 × 7.5	25/21 [34/28]	21 [0.53]
10 × 5	20/17 [27/23]	13 [0.33]

 

A) Actual yield strength shall not exceed specified minimum by more than 15 ksi [105 MPa].

 

B) For each 1⁄32-in. [0.79 mm] decrease in section thickness below 5⁄16 in. [7.94 mm], a deduction of 1.5 % from the elongation value of specimens above 5⁄16 in. [7.94mm] is permitted. When the section thickness lies between two values defined above, the minimum elongation value is determined by the following equation: E = 48t + 15.00

 

where: E = elongation % in 2 in. [50 mm], and t = actual thickness of specimen

 

C) These requirements are intended to minimize fracture initiation. The requirements are not intended to give assurance against fracture propagation.

 

Hardness Requirements

Fittings shall have a maximum hardness of 22 HRC (235 HB).
