A106 Gr B&C Pipe Overview
ASTM A106 Grade B and C pipes are widely used seamless carbon steel pipes designed for high-temperature service in industries like oil and gas, power generation, petrochemicals, and refineries.
ASTM A106 Overview
Grades
- Grade B: The most common grade, suitable for general high-temperature and pressure service.
- Grade C: Used when higher strength is needed, such as in higher-pressure systems or where the pipe is exposed to more stress.
Chemical Composition (Max %)

---|---|---|
Carbon (C) | 0.30 | 0.35 |
Manganese (Mn) | 0.29 - 1.06 | 0.29 - 1.06 |
Phosphorus (P) | 0.035 | 0.035 |
Sulfur (S) | 0.035 | 0.035 |
Silicon (Si) | 0.10 min | 0.10 min |
Mechanical Properties:
Property | Grade B | Grade C |
