SA-335 P22 · 2¼Cr-1Mo alloy pipe
An ASTM A335 P22 coupling is a short forged fitting that joins two pipes, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching coupling is made to ASTM A182 F22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. 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.

ASTM A335 P22 Coupling: Why P22 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 ASTM A335 P22, 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 | Carbon and low-alloy fittings suit hydrocarbon, steam and utility lines. ASTM A335 P22 is picked for high-pressure steam and hydrogen service up to about 580 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Power plants — High-pressure steam lines. |
| Welding to carbon steel | Matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L |
| Matching filler | ER90S-B3 / E9018-B3 |

ASTM A335 P22 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 ASTM A335 P22 couplings be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P22 couplings?
The material is ASTM A182 F22; 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 ASTM A335 P22 coupling?
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 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
