1. What are ASME sa387 grade 22 Class 1 plates?
The properties of ASME SA387 Grade22 Class1 Plates make them suitable for demandingapplications in the petrochemical, oil and gas, and power generation industries. Here are the keyproperties of these plates:

 

2What is ASME sa387 grade 22 Class 1 equivalent to?

ASME SA387 Grade 22 Class 1 is equivalent to ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1, with common international equivalents including EN 10CrMo9-10 (European/German) and BS 622-515B (British), all referring to a Cr-Mo alloy steel plate used in high-temperature pressure vessel applications, featuring about 2.25% Chromium and 1.00% Molybdenum.

 

3What is the hardness of ASME sa387 grade 22 Class 1?

ASME SA387 Grade 22 Class 1 doesn't have a single specified hardness value in the standard; instead, its hardness is controlled indirectly by its minimum yield strength (around 205 MPa or 30 ksi) and tensile strength (415-585 MPa or 60-85 ksi), requiring specific tempering temperatures (like 1250°F / 675°C) and generally meeting requirements of NACE MR0175 for sour service, but a specific hardness (like Brinell or Rockwell) depends on the mill's processing and final application, often around 131-160 HBW for normalized/tempered material.

 

4What temperature is ASME sa387 grade 22 Class 1?

ASME SA387 Grade 22 Class 1 is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel designed for elevated temperatures, often used in boilers and pressure vessels, offering good high-temperature strength, oxidation, and corrosion resistance, with applications extending to around 600°C (1100°F) and beyond, though its tempering is usually done at a minimum of 1250°F (675°C).

 

5What are the typical application fields of ASME sa387 grade 22 Class 1?

ASME SA387 Grade 22 Class 1 is primarily used for high-temperature, high-pressure equipment in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, piping, and reactors, due to its excellent creep, corrosion, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures, also finding use in power generation.
