An Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT cap is a fitting that closes the end of a pipe, made from Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT to ASTM B366 WPNIC (buttweld) · ASTM B564 (forged). Buttweld caps are dished ends welded to the pipe; forged caps are threaded or socket-weld. Used at dead ends and future connection points.

Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT Cap: Why 800 for caps
Buttweld caps are dished ends welded to the pipe; forged caps are threaded or socket-weld. Used at dead ends and future connection points. In Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fittings match nickel-alloy pipe in aggressive media. Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT is picked for furnaces, petrochemical heaters and high-temperature piping. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Petrochemical — Steam-methane reformer and ethylene furnace piping. |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCr-3 (AWS A5.14) |

Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT Cap — questions buyers ask
Can a cap take full line pressure?
Yes — a buttweld cap of matching schedule is rated like the pipe it closes.
Can Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT caps be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT caps?
The material is ASTM B366 WPNIC (buttweld) · ASTM B564 (forged); dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · B16.11. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Incoloy 800 / 800H / 800HT cap?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
