WPHY 70 stands for Wrought Pipe High-Yield — referring to a factory-made (wrought) pipe fitting with a high minimum yield strength of 70 ksi (485 MPa). The 'W' denotes wrought (formed from pipe material), 'P' denotes pipe, 'H' high-yield, and '70' the minimum yield in ksi.
Metinox Overseas manufactures WPHY 70 fittings from 1/2" NB (DN15) to 48" NB (DN1200) in various schedules. Custom sizes beyond 48" can be fabricated on special order.
Yes, ASTM A860 WPHY 70 fittings are suitable for sour gas and H2S environments when produced according to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards. Proper heat treatment and testing ensure resistance against sulfide stress cracking.
The pressure rating of ASTM A860 WPHY 70 fittings depends on pipe size, schedule, and operating temperature. SCH 40 fittings can handle approximately 2990 PSI at 38°C, 2495 PSI at 200°C, and 1550 PSI at 400°C. Refer to the Pressure Temperature Ratings table for detailed values.
ASTM A860 WPHY 60 is a high-yield carbon steel material used to manufacture butt weld fittings for high-pressure piping systems. It provides a minimum yield strength of 60 ksi (415 MPa) and is widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
ASTM A860 WPHY 70 fittings are the butt-weld fitting equivalent of API 5L Grade X70 pipe. Both share similar 485 MPa minimum yield strength and HSLA chemistry, but the governing standard for fittings is ASTM A860 / MSS SP-75, not API 5L. WPHY 70 fittings are dimensioned to ASME B16.9 / MSS SP-75 and are the code-compliant butt-weld fitting companion to API 5L X70 pipe.
Yes. ASTM A860 mandates heat treatment for all WPHY grade fittings. Acceptable methods include normalising, quenching and tempering, or stress relieving per ASTM A960. Hardness must not exceed 22 HRC (235 HBW) after heat treatment.
