ASTM A420 WPL3 Pipe Fittings are the low-temperature wrought carbon steel fittings designed for use in piping systems. The nickel content of the WPL3 grade is about 3.00 - 4.00%, which helps to retain toughness at temperatures below normal service conditions. They are produced in various shapes including elbows, tees, reducers, caps, crosses etc and sizes are chosen depending on the pipework being used. Another important factor to consider when choosing grades is WPL3 performance at −150°F/−101°C for Charpy impact testing. Solitaire Overseas produces and delivers ASTM A420 WPL3 Pipe Fittings in India, as well as controlled size and documentation of material testing which is essential in projects that demand a reliable Low temperature impact resistance.
