Duplex 2205 Pipe Fittings
Teshi Group manufactures Duplex 2205 pipe fittings (ASTM A815 WPS31803 / WPS32205, A182 F51 / F60) as an OEM in India — butt weld fittings to ASME B16.9 and forged socket weld and threaded fittings to ASME B16.11, with heat-number traceability on every piece.
Duplex 2205 has a balanced austenite–ferrite structure that gives roughly twice the yield strength of 316L, with much better resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and pitting.

Pressure rating
Butt weld fittings carry the same pressure rating as straight seamless pipe of the same material and wall thickness, so the fitting schedule is matched to the line pipe (ASME B16.9). Forged socket weld and threaded fittings are rated by class — 3000 and 6000 for socket weld, 2000, 3000 and 6000 for threaded — per ASME B16.11.

FAQ
Duplex 2205 pipe fittings: common questions
What specification covers Duplex 2205 pipe fittings?
Duplex 2205 butt weld fittings are made to ASTM A815 WPS31803 / ASTM A815 WPS32205 with dimensions to ASME B16.9; forged socket weld and threaded fittings are made to ASTM A182 F51 / ASTM A182 F60 with dimensions to ASME B16.11.
What is the chemical composition of 2205 (S31803)?
2205 (S31803) (UNS S31803): C 0.030, Mn 2.00, Si 1.00, Cr 21.0–23.0, Ni 4.5–6.5, Mo 2.5–3.5, N 0.08–0.20 (weight %; single values are maximums).
What are the minimum mechanical properties of 2205 (S31803)?
Tensile strength 620 MPa (90 ksi), yield strength 450 MPa (65 ksi), elongation 25 %.
Is Teshi Group a manufacturer of Duplex 2205 pipe fittings in India?
Yes. Teshi Group has manufactured flanges and fittings in India since 1971 and is ISO 9001:2015 certified and IBR approved. Every Duplex 2205 piece is hard-stamped with its heat number and supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate; 3.2 with third-party inspection on request.
What is the difference between F51 and F60?
Both are duplex 2205. F51 is UNS S31803 (Cr 21–23 %, Mo 2.5–3.5 %); F60 is UNS S32205 with tighter, higher limits (Cr 22–23 %, Mo 3.0–3.5 %, N 0.14–0.20 %). Most 2205 today is dual-certified to both.
How strong is duplex 2205 compared with 316L?
Minimum yield strength is 450 MPa for duplex 2205 against 170 MPa for 316L forgings, which allows thinner, lighter components for the same pressure.
