Hastelloy C276 Coupling: Why C276 for couplings
Full couplings join two pipes; half couplings are welded to a pipe or vessel as a branch connection. Socket-weld or threaded to ASME B16.11. In Hastelloy C276, 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. Hastelloy C276 is picked for the most aggressive mixed acids, wet chlorine and hypochlorite. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Chemical processing — Reactors, heat exchangers and piping for mixed acids. |
| 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 | ERNiCrMo-4 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiHastelloy C276 Coupling — questions buyers ask
What is a half coupling used for?
It is welded onto a pipe or vessel to create a small threaded or socket-weld branch.
Can Hastelloy C276 couplings 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 Hastelloy C276 couplings?
The material is ASTM B462 / B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.11. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Hastelloy C276 coupling?
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.
Can you supply Hastelloy C276 couplings to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Hastelloy C276 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
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.
