ASME SA387 Grade 12 Class 2

Engineered for use in elevated temperature service, ASME SA387 Grade 12 is a chrome molybdenum carbon alloy steel for use in weldable pressure vessels and industrial boilers. The material benefits from added chromium which provides excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance making it ideal for sour service applications in the oil and gas industry.
