The ASTM A860 WPHY 42 Pipe Fittings are wrought high yield carbon steel fittings that have been engineered for high-pressure pipeline and piping applications. They are manufactured to ASTM A860 and MSS SP-75 and have a minimum yield of 42 ksi (290 MPa) and a tensile strength of 415–585 MPa (60–85 ksi) and are available in elbows, bends, reducers, couplings, end caps and other configurations. Fittings may be manufactured to seamless, welded or fabricated construction depending on the project requirements, and in sizes and wall thickness as required. Elements like manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, titanium, and vanadium are included in their composition with the aim of meeting the required mechanical properties. Gas processing, petrochemical, power generation, heat exchanger, offshore/marine piping all require the use of WPHY 42 fittings. Solitaire Overseas is a trusted ASTM A860 WPHY 42 Pipe Fittings Manufacturer and Suppliers in India, they supply fittings for different industrial piping needs.

ASTM A860 WPHY 42 Pipe Fittings are high-yield carbon steel butt-weld fittings used in pressure piping and pipeline systems.
They are used in oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical plants, gas processing, power generation, and other high-pressure piping systems.
WPHY 42 specifies pipe fittings, while API 5L X42 specifies line pipe. Both have a minimum yield strength of approximately 42 ksi, but they follow different standards.
Yes. They are designed for high-pressure piping and pipeline applications when the correct specifications and design requirements are selected.
Yes. They can be welded using suitable welding procedures and compatible filler materials.
They are available in seamless, welded, and fabricated forms, depending on the fitting type and manufacturing requirements.
