1 What is ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1 equivalent to?
ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1 is equivalent to ASME SA387 Grade 22 Class 1, with common international equivalents being EN 10 CrMo9-10, DIN 10 CrMo9-10, and BS 622-515B, all referring to a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel for high-temperature pressure vessels, differing from Class 2 primarily in mechanical strength properties.
2 What temperature is ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1 equivalent to?
ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1 is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel for elevated temperatures, often used up to around 600°C (1112°F) in pressure vessels, with a minimum tempering temperature requirement of 1250°F (675°C) for heat treatment, but its specific application temperature range depends on service conditions, generally performing well from moderate to high temperatures.
3 Is ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1 carbon steel?
No, ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 1 is not plain carbon steel; it's a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (Cr-Mo alloy) designed for high-temperature pressure vessels, containing specific amounts of chromium (around 2.25%) and molybdenum (around 1%) for enhanced strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, unlike basic carbon steels which rely mainly on iron and carbon.
4Is ASTM A387 Grade12 Class 1 high speed steel?
No, ASTM A387 Grade 12 Class 1 is not high-speed steel (HSS); it's a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel for pressure vessels and boilers at elevated temperatures, offering good corrosion/oxidation resistance and high-temp strength, while HSS is for cutting tools. The "Grade 12" refers to its composition (around 1% Cr, 0.5% Mo), and "Class 1" indicates specific tensile strength levels, differing from HSS which contains high tungsten/molybdenum for hardness at high heat.
5What is the composition of ASTM A387 Grade12 Class 1?
ASTM A387 Grade 12 Class 1 is a chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel for elevated temperature pressure vessels, characterized by ~1% Chromium (Cr) and ~0.5% Molybdenum (Mo) content, with standard elements like Carbon (C), Manganese (Mn), Silicon (Si), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S), offering good corrosion resistance and high-temp strength for oil, gas, and refining applications. The 'Class 1' designation refers to specific tensile strength requirements, distinct from Class 2, but the chemical composition remains largely the same between classes for Grade 12.
