A106 GR. B Carbon Steel Seamless Pipes

 

ASTM A106 Seamless Pressure Pipe (also known as ASME SA106 pipe) is commonly used in the construction of oil and gas refineries, power plants, petrochemical plants, boilers, and ships where the piping must transport fluids and gasses that exhibit higher temperatures and pressure levels.

This specification covers seamless carbon steel pipe for high-temperature service

Sizes (Seamless): 1/2" NB - 60" NB

Sizes (ERW): 1/2" NB - 24" NB

Sizes (SAW): 16" NB - 100" NB  

Wall Thickness available:
Schedule 20 - Schedule XXS (heavier on request) up to 250 mm thk.

 Hydrostatic Testing
Inspection test pressures produce a stress in the pipe wall equal to 60% of specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) at room temperature. Maximum Pressures are not to exceed 2500 psi for NPS3 and under 2800 psi for the larger sizes. Pressure is maintained for not less than 5 seconds.

 Mechanical Tests Specified

Tensile Test -- NPS 8 and larger -- either transverse or longitudinal acceptable
Smaller than NPS 8 -- weighed in lots. Larger sizes -- by length.
Flattening Test -- NPS 2-1/2 and larger.

Bending Test (Cold) -- NPS 2 and under.
