carbon steel A106 welded and seamless tubes
ASTM A106 is the same as ASME SA-106 and is the standard specification for carbon steel seamless pipe for high temperature service. It covers pipe sizes from NPS 1/8 [DN 6] to NPS 48 [DN 1200] with nominal wall thicknesses given in ASME B36.10M.
ASTM A106 seamless steel pipe includes cold drawn and hot rolled processing. In addition to different production processes, they also differ in precision, quality, minimum size, mechanical properties and organizational structure. ASTM A106 is widely used in petroleum, chemical, boiler, power station, machinery manufacturing, automobile, aviation, aerospace, energy, geology, construction and military industries.
Additionally, carbon steel is more commonly used than any other metal and has long been prized for its versatility and low cost. ASTM A106 Grade B square carbon steel pipes are used in various pipeline transportation systems such as the gas and oil industries.
