SA-335 P22 · 2¼Cr-1Mo alloy pipe
An ASTM A335 P22 reducer is a fitting that joins two pipes of different sizes, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching reducer is made to ASTM A234 WP22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. Concentric reducers keep the centreline in line and suit vertical lines. Eccentric reducers keep one side flat — flat on top at pump suctions to avoid air pockets, flat on the bottom in pipe racks.

ASTM A335 P22 Reducer — questions buyers ask
Why use an eccentric reducer at a pump suction?
Installed flat side up, it prevents air pockets that can cause cavitation.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P22 reducers?
The material is ASTM A234 WP22; dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · MSS SP-43. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a ASTM A335 P22 reducer?
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.
