Fabricated from a pressure-vessel-quality plate, our ASTM A691 pipes are electric-fusion-welded with added filler metal, ensuring durability and reliability for your projects. With our expertise, you can trust that you’re getting a product that meets international standards and is suitable for the most demanding applications.
ASTM A691 Specification
Our ASTM A691 pipes come with a range of specifications to meet your project needs. These pipes are fabricated from pressure-vessel-quality plates of various analyses and strength levels. They can be heat treated to achieve desired mechanical properties or to comply with specific code requirements. The pipes are available in diameters of 16 inches or larger, with wall thicknesses up to 3 inches. The welding process involves the deposition of filler metal, either manually or automatically, ensuring strong and durable joints. Moreover, we offer various end types, surface coatings, joint methods, and machining services to cater to your specific requirements.

ASTM A691 Dimension Table

Our ASTM A691 pipes are available in a variety of dimensions to suit diverse applications. They nominally cover pipes 16 inches [400 mm] in outside diameter and larger, with wall thicknesses up to 3 inches [75 mm] inclusive. However, we can provide pipes with other dimensions, ensuring they meet all other requirements of the ASTM A691 specification. With our dimension table, you can easily select the perfect size for your project, ensuring efficiency and precision in your operations.
| Outside Diameter: | 16 in. [405mm] or larger |
| Wall Thickness: | up to 3 in. [75 mm] |
| Pipe having other dimensions may be furnished provided it complies with all other requirements of this specification. | |
Chemical Requirements of ASTM A691
At UNIACERO, we adhere to strict chemical requirements for our ASTM A691 pipes. The pipe manufacturer conducts a thorough analysis of each mill heat of plate material, ensuring that the product meets the requirements of the plate specification. Additionally, an analysis of the finished deposited weld material is performed for every 200 feet or fraction thereof. This rigorous testing ensures that our pipes are of the highest quality and meet international standards.
