Every order of Alloy 20 ships with a complete set of original Mill Test Reports, with traceability not only to the manufacturer but to the origin of the material.
Nominally 32–38% nickel, 19–21% chromium, 2–3% molybdenum and 3–4% copper, stabilized with niobium against intergranular corrosion.
In-house certified technicians and a qualitative specification-assurance process that is second to none back every shipment leaving our Houston facility.
Lima sits at the center of northwestern Ohio’s chemical and derivatives production, and operations here demand piping materials that hold up where ordinary steels fail. Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20® (Alloy 20), UNS N08020) was engineered for exactly that duty, and P.A. Inc. stocks it in pipe, fittings, and flanges ready to ship into the Lima area.
The reason Lima engineers keep coming back to Alloy 20 comes down to its metallurgy — exceptional resistance to hot sulfuric acid across a wide concentration range and resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and chloride stress-corrosion cracking. In demanding refining and chemical service, those properties are the difference between a component that lasts a campaign and one that fails early.
Our Lima customers put Alloy 20 to work across the demanding end of process service: sulfuric acid production and handling, pharmaceutical and plastics processing, pickling tanks and acid mixing equipment, and food, dye and synthetic-material production. Because P.A. Inc. fabricates locally in Houston, we can turn butt-weld fittings, flanges, and custom spools to the exact schedule and end-prep a Lima turnaround crew needs — and deliver to Elida, Cridersville, and Bath and the surrounding region without the freight time of pulling material from out of state.
Every length of Alloy 20 leaving our facility ships with a full set of original Mill Test Reports, traceable to both the manufacturer and the heat of origin — the documentation Lima plants operating under ASME and API requirements can’t do without. And with our team answering the phone 24 hours a day, a Lima turnaround that runs long always has someone to call.
If your Lima operation needs Alloy 20 Pipe & Fittings — whether it’s a single spool for an emergency repair or a full material package for a planned outage — call P.A. Inc. at 713-570-4900 for pricing, availability, and certified documentation.
