ASTM A106 is a widely used standard for seamless Carbon Steel pipes designed for high-temperature applications. With a maximum carbon content of 0.30% and a manganese limit of 1.20%, it offers excellent strength, toughness, and durability. This material is ideal for use in demanding environments such as power plants, chemical processing units, and petroleum refineries. Its corrosion resistance also makes it suitable for outdoor installations without the need for extra protective coatings.
This type of steel pipe is commonly used in forming processes like bending and curling. The main grades available are A, B, and C, each offering different mechanical properties to suit various application requirements. The diameter range typically spans from 10.3 mm to 114.3 mm, with wall thicknesses ranging between 0.8 mm and 12 mm. Standard lengths are over 6 meters, but custom sizes can be supplied based on customer needs.
ASTM A53 covers both seamless and welded carbon steel pipes, including black and hot-dipped galvanized types. It is available in nominal sizes from 1/8 inch up to 20 inches (3.18 mm to 660.4 mm) and includes both black and galvanized options. Similarly, ASTM A106 applies to seamless carbon steel pipes for high-temperature service, covering sizes from 1/8 inch to 26 inches (3.18 mm to 660.4 mm).
The chemical composition varies slightly among the grades. For example:
- **Grade A**: Carbon ≤ 0.25%, Manganese 0.27–0.93%
- **Grade B**: Carbon ≤ 0.30%, Manganese 0.29–1.06%
- **Grade C**: Carbon ≤ 0.35%, Manganese 0.29–1.06%
All grades have maximum limits for sulfur (0.058%) and phosphorus (0.048%), and a minimum silicon content of 0.20%.
