🟧 Product Overview
ASTM A202 is a chromium‑molybdenum pressure vessel steel designed for elevated‑temperature service. It provides improved high‑temperature strength and oxidation resistance compared with standard carbon steel pressure vessel grades.
A202 is available in Grades A and B, with Grade B being the most commonly used due to its higher strength and better elevated‑temperature performance. It is widely used in boilers, refinery heaters, petrochemical reactors, and high‑temperature welded pressure systems.
