SA-335 P22 · 2¼Cr-1Mo alloy pipe
An ASTM A335 P22 cap is a fitting that closes the end of a pipe, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching cap is made to ASTM A234 WP22 (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F22 (forged) — which is what we supply for P22 lines. Buttweld caps are dished ends welded to the pipe; forged caps are threaded or socket-weld. Used at dead ends and future connection points.

ASTM A335 P22 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.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P22 caps?
The material is ASTM A234 WP22 (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F22 (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 ASTM A335 P22 cap?
The steel 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?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
