SA-333 Gr 6 · Low-temperature carbon steel pipe
An ASTM A333 Gr 6 lateral is a fitting with a 45° branch, for use with ASTM A333 Gr 6 pipe. ASTM A333 Gr 6 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching lateral is made to ASTM A420 WPL6 — which is what we supply for A333 Gr 6 lines. Laterals bring in a branch at 45°, reducing turbulence and pressure drop compared to a tee. Common in drainage, slurry and process lines.

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiASTM A333 Gr 6 Lateral — questions buyers ask
When is a lateral better than a tee?
Where lower turbulence matters — slurries, solids and gravity drainage.
Which standard covers ASTM A333 Gr 6 laterals?
The material is ASTM A420 WPL6; dimensions follow MSS SP-43 / manufacturer standard. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a ASTM A333 Gr 6 lateral?
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.
