Specifications by product form

One alloy is ordered under different ASTM/ASME numbers depending on form: forged flanges and fittings, wrought buttweld fittings, and pipe or tube. For Chrome-moly F22 / P22 the usual specifications are ASTM A182 F22, A234 WP22, A335 P22. Quote both the specification and the UNS number on purchase orders to avoid ambiguity.

Chemical and mechanical limits differ between these specifications — always check the edition of the standard named on your order and the mill test certificate.
