ASTM A860 WPHY 65 Pipe Fittings are wrought high-yield carbon steel fittings for use in heavy duty pipeline and pressure piping service. The chemical constituents in their make-up contain carbon, manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, titanium, vanadium, phosphorus, sulfur, cobalt and aluminum. The material has a minimum yield strength of 65 ksi (450 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 530 to 705 MPa (77–102 ksi). High strength and corrosion resistance are important features, as well as being used in high pressure piping systems. They can be found in various sizes and shapes such as elbows, tees, bends, reducers, and couplings, and they are used to connect pipes and create changes in their direction. Solitaire Overseas is a reputed ASTM A860 WPHY 65 Pipe Fittings Manufacturer in India and supplies high-quality pipe fittings that are used in various industrial pipe applications.

ASTM A860 WPHY 65 Pipe Fittings are high-yield carbon steel butt-weld fittings used in high-pressure pipeline and piping systems.
WPHY stands for Wrought Pipe High Yield, while 65 indicates a minimum 65 ksi yield strength.
WPHY 65 specifies pipe fittings, while API 5L X65 specifies line pipe. Both have a minimum yield strength of about 65 ksi, but they follow different standards.
Yes. They are designed for high-pressure pipeline and piping applications when the correct specifications and design requirements are selected.
WPHY 65 fittings are typically heat treated by normalizing, quenching, and tempering, as required by the applicable specification.
Yes. They can be welded using suitable welding procedures and compatible filler materials.
