ASTM A182 F11 Alloy Steel Pipe Fittings Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in India, USA, Turkey & Nigeria – Mcneil Instruments
Mcneil Instruments manufactures and supplies ASTM A182 F11 Alloy Steel Pipe Fittings for elevated-temperature pressure piping, refinery, petrochemical, power generation and process-industry applications.
ASTM A182 F11 is a 1¼Cr-½Mo chromium-molybdenum alloy steel forging grade. F11 fittings are selected for piping systems where the combination of alloy-steel strength, elevated-temperature performance and resistance to oxidation is required.
The F11 grade is available in different material classes, with the applicable class determining the required mechanical properties and, for some classes, chemistry limits. Forged socket-weld and threaded fittings are commonly dimensioned and rated according to ASME B16.11.

What Are ASTM A182 F11 Alloy Steel Pipe Fittings?
ASTM A182 F11 Alloy Steel Pipe Fittings are forged piping components manufactured from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel containing approximately 1.00–1.50% chromium and 0.44–0.65% molybdenum.
Chromium contributes to oxidation and scaling resistance, while molybdenum supports elevated-temperature strength. The material is commonly associated with high-temperature process and pressure piping.
ASTM A182 specifies the material requirements for forged alloy-steel pressure components. The fitting configuration, pressure class, dimensions and tolerances are governed by the applicable dimensional standard, such as ASME B16.11 for forged socket-weld and threaded fittings.

ASTM A182 F11 Material Classes
One of the most important characteristics of ASTM A182 F11 is its classification into Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3.
Property F11 Class 1 F11 Class 2 F11 Class 3
Carbon 0.05–0.15% 0.10–0.20% 0.10–0.20%

Yield Strength 205 MPa min. 275 MPa min. 310 MPa min.
Elongation 20% min. 20% min. 20% min.
Phosphorus and sulfur limits also vary by class under ASTM A182. Therefore, the F11 class should always be specified on the purchase order and material documentation rather than simply stating “F11.”
Chemical Composition of ASTM A182 F11
F11 is a low-alloy chromium-molybdenum steel. The principal alloying elements are chromium and molybdenum.
F11 Class 1
Element Composition
Carbon (C) 0.05–0.15%
Manganese (Mn) 0.30–0.60%
Silicon (Si) 0.50–1.00%
Phosphorus (P) 0.030% max.
Sulfur (S) 0.030% max.
Chromium (Cr) 1.00–1.50%
Molybdenum (Mo) 0.44–0.65%
Iron (Fe) Balance
F11 Class 2 & Class 3
Element Composition
Carbon (C) 0.10–0.20%
Manganese (Mn) 0.30–0.80%
Silicon (Si) 0.50–1.00%
Phosphorus (P) 0.040% max.
Sulfur (S) 0.040% max.
Chromium (Cr) 1.00–1.50%
Molybdenum (Mo) 0.44–0.65%
Iron (Fe) Balance
The chromium and molybdenum additions distinguish F11 from carbon-steel forging grades and provide properties required for specific elevated-temperature applications.
Mechanical Properties of ASTM A182 F11
The required mechanical properties depend on the F11 class.
Mechanical Property Class 1 Class 2 Class 3
Tensile Strength 415 MPa min. 485 MPa min. 515 MPa min.
Yield Strength 205 MPa min. 275 MPa min. 310 MPa min.
Elongation 20% min. 20% min. 20% min.
Reduction of Area As specified As specified As specified
F11 Class 1 therefore should not be represented using the higher tensile and yield values applicable to Classes 2 or 3. Material certificates should identify the applicable class and corresponding test results.
