API 5L ASTM A106 3PE Coating Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe

ASTM A106 grade B Seamless Pressure Pipe (ASME SA106) is used in power plants, boilers, petrochemical plants, oil and gas refineries, and ships where the piping must transport fluids and gases that exhibit high pressures and temperatures.

Chemical composition in %

Carbon (C) Max For Grade A 0.25, For Grade B 0.30, Grade C 0.35
Manganese (Mn): 0.27-0.93, 0.29-1.06
Sulfur (S) Max: ≤ 0.035
Phosphorus (P) : ≤ 0.035
Silicon (Si) Min : ≥0.10
Chrome (Cr): ≤ 0.40
Copper (Cu): ≤ 0.40
Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.15
Nickel (Ni): ≤ 0.40
Vanadium (V): ≤ 0.08

Please note:
For each reduction of 0.01% for maximum carbon element, an increase of 0.06% manganese above the specified value shall be permitted, and up to maximum of 1.35%.
Elements Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, V combined shall not exceed 1%.

ASTM A106 Grade B Pipe Dimensions Schedule
The standard covers pipe sizes in NPS (National Standard Straight) from 1/8 inch to 48 inch (10.3mm DN6 – 1219mm DN1200), meanwhile complied the nominal wall thickness of the standard ASME B 36.10M. For other sizes out of the ASME B 36.10M is also allowed to use this standard specification.

Grade B Seamless Pipe
ASTM A106 standard specifications for the seamless steel pipe have three grades, that is ASTM A106 Gr. A, Grade. B and C, with the higher grade material, the strength performance is better.

Test Methods
The test methods for the ASTM A106 A, B, C are the flattening tests, hydrostatic test, nondestructive electric test, Ultrasonic test, eddy current test, flux leakage test, these test procedures shall be notified or discussed with client to confirm what kind of test will be applied.

　　API 5L ASTM A106 3PE Coating Carbon Steel Seamless Pipe mainly used for pressure vessel and conveying fluid such as transporting oil, natural gas, coal gas, steam, water as well certain solid material, etc.
