ASTM A335 P22 Alloy Steel Pipes Manufacturer, Supplier & Distributor in India, USA, Turkey & Nigeria
ASTM A335 P22 Alloy Steel Pipes
Mcneil Instruments is a premier ASTM A335 P22 Alloy Steel Pipes Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in India, USA, Turkey & Nigeria, delivering high-integrity seamless ferritic alloy steel pipes engineered specifically for high-temperature pressure piping, power generation, refineries, petrochemical plants, and critical process industries.
ASTM A335 Grade P22 (ASME SA335 Grade P22) is a 2.25Cr–1Mo chromium-molybdenum alloy steel seamless pipe grade designed for elevated-temperature service. The 2.25% chromium content delivers superior resistance to high-temperature oxidation and scaling, while the 1.0% molybdenum addition significantly increases creep-rupture strength and yield strength under continuous thermal loads compared to carbon steels or lower-alloy grades like P11.
P22 seamless chrome moly pipes are produced across standard schedules, wall thicknesses, and nominal pipe sizes (NPS) governed by ASME B36.10M. Mcneil Instruments manufactures and supplies P22 pipes in normalized and tempered, full-annealed, or isothermal-annealed conditions to ensure long-term structural reliability in demanding thermal environments.

What is ASTM A335 P22 Alloy Steel Pipe?
ASTM A335 P22 Alloy Steel Pipes are seamless ferritic chromium-molybdenum alloy pipes manufactured specifically for severe high-temperature pressure-piping systems.
The primary alloying additions for Grade P22 include:
- 1.90% to 2.60% Chromium (Cr): Enhances surface corrosion stability, hot-steam oxidation protection, and resistance to scaling.
- 0.87% to 1.13% Molybdenum (Mo): Provides exceptional tensile yield strength at elevated temperatures and resistance to long-term creep deformation.
P22 seamless pipes are specified where operating temperatures and structural pressure requirements exceed the capability of lower-alloy steels, making them essential components in superheaters, reheaters, main steam lines, refinery hydrocrackers, and high-pressure steam distribution systems.
