Typical project material options include WCB, LCC, CF8M, WC6, WC9. Final material selection should follow corrosion conditions, design temperature, toughness requirements and the approved material specification.
End Connections
Available connection families include RF, RTJ, BW. The final facing or weld preparation must match the piping class and approved drawing.
Applications
Pump discharge, compressor discharge, process lines, pipelines and utility systems. Final suitability depends on fluid, pressure, temperature, cycling and the project specification.
Testing & Documentation
Confirm the required pressure test standard, material certificates, PMI or NDE scope, dimensional inspection, coating records and final document package before production.
