Since I work with a reputed SA 335 pipe supplier for many years, I can answer this question with authority and experience.

Pipes with high strength are in high demand for transmitting fluids and gases in high-temperature conditions. P5 pipes are made from ferritic alloy steel with molybdenum and chromium. A335 P5 material has high corrosion and heat resistance due to chromium and molybdenum. It is because of its high tensile strength of 415 Mpa minimum and yield stress of 205 Mpa minimum.

There are many manufacturing processes for making SA 335 P5 pipes with high wear and tear resistance. But buyers must also check if these processes follow the ASME, ASTM, And API standards for increasing their strength, hardenability, elastic limit, and impact qualities for many applications.

The three significant manufacturing processes for producing A335 P5 pipes include the following.

A335 gr P5 low carbon chromium-molybdenum steel pipes undergo an annealing and tempering process for the following purposes, among others.

The following are a few differences between LSAW and HSAW P5 pipes, among others.

P5 pipe material makes many pipes like LSAW, HSAW, SSAW, SSAWL, and other pipes useful in several sectors. It is because of its high tempering temperature of 1250 F or 675 C.

P5 pipes have high tensile strength and tempering temperature because of the ASTM A335 P5 chemical composition. It is because of its less carbon content of only 0.15%, 4 to 6% chromium, 0.5% silicon, 0.45 to 0.65% molybdenum, and others.

ASTM A335 P5B erw pipe and SA 335 P5C welded pipes are available in sizes ranging from 1/2” to 36”

ASTM A 335 P5 B ERW pipes are available in a wide size range for use in several applications in various sectors. The standard sizes range between one eight of an inch to 30 inches.

The peculiar P5 steel alloy composition makes it easy to bend, cut and weld in many sizes and shapes like square, rectangular, hexagonal, round, etc. Since these high-pressure ASTM A335 P5 pipes are useful in various applications, the experienced suppliers offer them in customized sizes to fulfill specific needs.

Check P5 alloy steel pipes and ASTM A335 P5 chemical composition, specifiations and hardness

The hardness of the ASTM A 335 P5 pipe depends on many factors. It is because A335 pipes, known as chrome moly pipes made of the chemical makeup of chromium and molybdenum.

A335 P5 pipe shall have a hardness not exceeding 25 HRC or 250 HB, or 265 HV to be useful in specific applications. Buyers should confirm the hardness with many test certificates from reputed suppliers to be useful for particular purposes.
