Chemical Composition of ASTM A335 P9 Pipe
The chemical composition of ASTM A335 Grade P9 is critical to its performance in high-temperature environments. The material contains:
Element |
Composition (%) |
Carbon (C) |
≤ 0.15 |
Manganese (Mn) |
0.30 – 0.60 |
Phosphorus (P) |
≤ 0.025 |
Sulfur (S) |
≤ 0.025 |
Silicon (Si) |
0.50 – 1.00 |
Chromium (Cr) |
8.00 – 10.00 |
Molybdenum (Mo) |
0.90 – 1.10 |
This composition ensures excellent strength, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance under elevated temperatures.

Manufacturing and Delivery Conditions of ASTM A335 P9 Pipe
ASTM A335 P9 seamless pipes are manufactured using one of the following processes:
Hot Rolling
Cold Drawing
Hot Expansion
Delivery Status
Pipes are delivered in a heat-treated condition to meet the mechanical and performance requirements for high-temperature use.
Surface Quality Requirements of ASTM A335 P9 Pipe
To ensure accurate inspection and long-term reliability, ASTM A335 P9 seamless pipes must have:
Clean surfaces, free from scale, oil, paint, or any foreign matter.
No deep scratches or gouges that may interfere with non-destructive testing (NDT).
Any surface preparation must not damage the pipe's parent material.
Certification Requirements of ASTM A335 P9 Pipe
According to ASTM A530/A530M, the mill test certificate (MTC) for ASTM A335 P9 seamless steel pipes should include:
Whether the pipe has undergone a hydrostatic test.
If non-destructive electrical testing (NDE) was performed, it must detail the:
Testing method
Calibration standards
Testing procedures used
The certificate should also clearly state the standard number, steel grade, test pressure, and testing method (hydraulic or NDE).
Product Marking of ASTM A335 P9 Pipes
Each pipe should be marked in accordance with ASTM A530/A530M, with additional details including:
Length specification
If applicable, the letter "S" to indicate compliance with any of the supplementary requirements S1 to S6
Wall thickness grade number (per ANSI standard)
Heat number or factory number for traceability
Test method code
WR marking for welded pipes made from strips
Markings can be applied using spray, stamping, or roll marking depending on the manufacturer’s processes.
Conclusion
ASTM A335 P9 seamless steel pipes are a reliable solution for high-pressure, high-temperature applications. With strict requirements on chemical composition, manufacturing process, surface condition, and testing certification, these alloy steel pipes deliver consistent performance in demanding environments.
