SA-335 P11 · 1¼Cr-½Mo alloy pipe
An ASTM A335 P11 cross is a four-way fitting with branches at 90°, for use with ASTM A335 P11 pipe. ASTM A335 P11 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching cross is made to ASTM A234 WP11 (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F11 (forged) — which is what we supply for P11 lines. Crosses join four pipes in one fitting. They are used less than tees because of stress concentration, but save space in fire-water and utility systems.

ASTM A335 P11 Cross: Why P11 for crosss
Crosses join four pipes in one fitting. They are used less than tees because of stress concentration, but save space in fire-water and utility systems. In ASTM A335 P11, 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 P11 is picked for steam and hot-oil piping up to about 550 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Power plants — Main steam and reheat lines. |
| Welding to carbon steel | Matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L |
| Matching filler | ER80S-B2 / E8018-B2 |

Other ASTM A335 P11 pipe fittings
ASTM A335 P11 Cross — questions buyers ask
Why are crosses less common than tees?
They concentrate stress at four junctions; most designers use two tees unless space is critical.
Can ASTM A335 P11 crosss be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P11 crosss?
The material is ASTM A234 WP11 (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F11 (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 P11 cross?
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.
