High-Pressure Service Welded Pipes (A672 CC60 / CC65 Applications)

High-pressure pipelines operate under elevated internal pressure, rapid pressure fluctuations, vibration, pulsation, and demanding mechanical loads. These pipelines carry steam, hot water, hydrocarbons, feed liquids, compressed gases, and high-pressure utilities across refineries, power plants, petrochemical units, and industrial facilities.

A672 CC60 / CC65 Electric Fusion Welded (EFW) Pipes are specifically engineered for high-pressure service. Manufactured using Class C configurations with a range of supplementary requirements, these pipes offer:

  • Exceptional pressure containment
  • Stable weld integrity
  • High impact toughness
  • Reliable performance under surge loads
  • Excellent service life in high-pressure circuits

A672 pipes combine heavy-wall welded construction with controlled heat treatment, making them ideal for high-pressure pipelines requiring long-duration safety and structural reliability.

What High-Pressure Service Means

High-pressure service refers to environments where pipes are subjected to:

  • Continuous internal pressure
  • Rapid pressure changes (surge, hammering, cyclic loading)
  • Elevated operating temperature
  • Vibration + pump pulsation
  • High mechanical stress at bends and branch connections
  • Risk of fatigue, deformation, and rupture

A672 CC60/CC65 welded pipes are built to withstand these conditions with:

High tensile strength
Secure welded joints (EFW)
Controlled microstructure
Stable welding quality under ASME/ASTM code
Excellent toughness even under fluctuating pressure

Why Welded Pipes for High-Pressure Applications?

High-pressure lines often require:

  • Heavy-wall thickness
  • Large diameters (14”–60”)
  • Long-length spools
  • Pipe routing flexibility
  • Strong weld performance
  • Tight dimensional tolerance

A672 welded pipes satisfy all these requirements while providing cost-effective, high-strength pressure pipeline solutions.
