The ASTM A182 specification covers forged or rolled alloy and stainless steel pipe flanges, fittings, valves, and parts. Specifically, this standard pertains to threaded hex plugs designed for high-temperature service applications.

Key points of the specification include

  • Heat Treatment: After hot working, the threaded hex plugs must be cooled to a specified temperature before undergoing heat treatment. This process must comply with specific requirements such as heat treatment type, austenitizing or solution temperature, cooling media, and quenching.
  • Material Composition: The materials used in the production of threaded hex plugs must meet precise chemical composition requirements. Key elements include phosphorus, silicon, carbon, manganese, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, columbium, and titanium.

Mechanical Properties: The material must conform to the mechanical property requirements for the specified grade, including tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Brinell hardness. Additionally, all H grades and grade F 63 plugs must be tested for average grain size.

SS 310 Threaded Square Plug

  • Composition: Typically contains around 25% chromium and 20% nickel. This composition provides the plug with exceptional resistance to oxidation and corrosion.

Applications: Ideal for use in high-temperature environments where resistance to oxidation is critical. Its high chromium and nickel content enhance its performance in various industrial settings.

Grade 310S Forged Hex Plug

  • Composition: A low-carbon version of SS 310, designed to minimize brittleness and reduce the risk of sensitization in high-temperature applications.
  • Advantages: The lower carbon content of Grade 310S makes it less prone to brittleness and sensitization compared to regular SS 310. This property ensures better durability and performance under extreme conditions.

Applications: Suitable for use in reducing sulfur atmospheres, such as those containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Commonly used in petrochemical environments and moderately carburizing atmospheres where high resistance to corrosion and high temperatures is required.

Both types of threaded fittings are widely used in applications where durability and resistance to harsh conditions are essential. Their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive environments makes them ideal for industrial applications, particularly in the petrochemical sector.

The ASME B16.11 standard outlines the specifications for Forged Threaded Square Plugs, including ratings, tolerances, marking, dimensions, and material requirements. These fittings are categorized into:

  • Threaded End Fittings: Class 2000, 3000, and 6000
  • Socket-Weld End Fittings: Class 3000, 6000, and 9000

The standard ensures compatibility with other ASME standards and specifications, such as the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the B31 Piping Codes. Forged Threaded Square Plugs are utilized in a variety of industrial settings, including chemical processing, oil refineries, and petrochemical industries. The design allows these plugs to effectively seal holes or cavities in various applications.
