SA-335 P22 · 2¼Cr-1Mo alloy pipe
An ASTM A335 P22 nipple is a short length of pipe, threaded or plain, used to connect fittings, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching nipple is made to ASTM A182 F22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. Pipe nipples connect valves and fittings in small-bore lines. Swage nipples (MSS SP-95) also change size between their two ends.

ASTM A335 P22 Nipple: Why P22 for nipples
Pipe nipples connect valves and fittings in small-bore lines. Swage nipples (MSS SP-95) also change size between their two ends. 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 |
