RE: ASME Fittings
WPC = Wrought product Grade C
Deduction only......never saw it written anywhere....I know the grades are correct.
RE: ASME Fittings
ASTM Forging Specifications A 105, A 182, A 350, B 160, B 164, or other applicable forging Specification of Table 1, ASME B16.34 ...
A 105 product marking states "Forgings repaired by welding shall be marked with the letter “W” following this specification number."
I still don't see the answer to your question.
RE: ASME Fittings
WPC - welded pipe, grade C (higher carbon content and strength level)

RE: ASME Fittings
I "used" to say welded pipe grade B and C until someone asked me...Where is the buttweld in these seamless fittings? That question caused me to rethink and consider these fittings as wrought products. I don't care what anybody says, I think it is misleading. Especially to those International Code users where these questions come from.

What is WPR?
It is not in B31.1, not permitted in Sections I and III from Table1A of Sec II Part D. But is allowed up to 100 degrees F for Section VIII Div 1 up to 100 degrees.
just curious.....since we are on the subject....
