SA 387 Grade 22 Class 1 is a chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel plate specified in the ASME SA-387/SA-387M standard, engineered for welded pressure vessels and high-temperature service equipment.
Its low-carbon alloy formulation delivers excellent high-temperature creep resistance, oxidation resistance and weldability. The Class 1 designation requires mandatory ultrasonic testing to eliminate internal defects, guaranteeing structural integrity for critical applications.
It is extensively used across oil and gas, petrochemical and power generation industries to fabricate key components like boilers, reactors, heat exchangers and piping that operate under prolonged high-heat and high-pressure conditions.
