Description
ASTM A106/ASME SA106 pipe is a carbon steel pipe manufactured by hot rolling. A106 pipe is particularly suitable where the fluid being conveyed is of high temperature or pressure (or both). ASTM 106 pipe can be used in high-temperature applications (up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit).
It is used not only for piping systems in different industries, such as the transport of oil and gas, water, and mineral slurries, but also in boilers, buildings, structures, and other applications.
ASTM A106 is generally used in carbon steel, where Grade B pipe is equivalent to ASTM A53 Grade B and API 5L Grade B in terms of chemical composition and mechanical properties.
