ASTM A350 LF2 Pipe Fittings are forged low-temperature carbon steel fittings designed for pressure piping that requires strength and impact toughness. These fittings are offered in Class 1 and Class 2 and may be furnished threaded, screwed, or socket-weld and have nominal bore sizes from 1/8" to 36". They are available in various forms such as elbows, tees, couplings, unions, caps, plugs, bushings and nipples, which are produced to dimensional requirements including ASME B16.11 and related forged fitting standards. They are used in oil & gas, petrochemical, fluid transmission and process piping systems. Solitaire Overseas is the manufacturer and supplier of ASTM A350 LF2 Pipe Fittings in India, available in different sizes, pressure classes, and configurations, as per the project requirement.

ASTM A350 LF2 Forged Fittings are carbon steel fittings designed for pressure piping and low-temperature service.
They are used in oil and gas, petrochemical, refining, chemical, and power industries.
For Class 1, the standard Charpy impact test temperature is −46°C (−50°F).
Class 2 has higher minimum mechanical and impact properties than Class 1 and is intended for applications with more demanding requirements.
Yes. They can be welded using qualified welding procedures with appropriate preheating and post-weld controls.
