ASTM A216 WCC Valve

Carbon Steel WCC

ASTM A216 Grade WCC is a higher-strength carbon steel casting grade in the same specification family as WCB.

Form

Cast

Max Temp

+538°C (+1000°F)

Min Temp

−29°C (−20°F)

Category

Carbon Steel

Chemical Composition — ASTM A216 WCC

C ≤ 0.25%, Mn ≤ 1.20%, Si ≤ 0.60%, P ≤ 0.035%, S ≤ 0.035%. Carbon equivalent: Ceq ≤ 0.55%. Higher Mn than WCB gives elevated strength.

Temperature Range

−29°C to +538°C (−20°F to +1000°F)

Maximum Temperature

+538°C (+1000°F)

Minimum Temperature

−29°C (−20°F)

Suitable Services

High-pressure steam up to Class 900

Crude oil, refined products, and natural gas in high-pressure lines

Utility water and condensate at elevated pressure

Non-corrosive process fluids requiring higher pressure ratings

Not Suitable For

Corrosive or sour (H₂S) service — use stainless or low-alloy steel

Below −29°C — use A352 LCC or LCB for low-temperature

Valve Body Applications

Gate, globe, and check valve bodies in Class 600–900 service

Ball valve bodies where higher pressure class is required vs WCB

High-pressure steam headers and turbine bypass valves

Refinery and petrochemical valves in elevated pressure hydrocarbon service

Trim Applications

Stems and bonnets in Class 600–900 gate and globe valves

Typical Valve Types in ASTM A216 WCC

Gate valves: Class 600–900 carbon steel

Globe valves: high-pressure steam and process service

Ball valves: Class 600 full-bore carbon steel

Check valves: high-pressure refinery and utility
