Hastelloy C276 Union: Why C276 for unions
Unions let a small-bore line be disconnected for maintenance without cutting. Made to MSS SP-83 in threaded or socket-weld ends. In Hastelloy C276, 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 | Nickel-alloy fittings match nickel-alloy pipe in aggressive media. Hastelloy C276 is picked for the most aggressive mixed acids, wet chlorine and hypochlorite. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Chemical processing — Reactors, heat exchangers and piping for mixed acids. |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCrMo-4 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Hastelloy C276 Union — questions buyers ask
Can unions be used in high-pressure lines?
Class 3000 and 6000 unions are rated for high pressure on small bores, but many codes limit their use in hazardous service.
Can Hastelloy C276 unions be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Hastelloy C276 unions?
The material is ASTM B462 / B564; dimensions follow MSS SP-83. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Hastelloy C276 union?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Hastelloy C276 unions to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Hastelloy C276 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
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.
