What is ASTM A106B equivalent to?

What is A106 Grade B material?

ASTM A106 Grade B is a seamless carbon steel pipe grade designed for high-temperature service. It is commonly used when fluids and gases are transported at high temperatures and pressures. A106 Grade B pipes are suitable for bending, flanging, and forming operations.

Properties

Grade A:

Tensile Strength: 48,000 psi min

Yield Strength: 30,000 psi min

Grade B:

Tensile Strength: 60,000 psi min

Yield Strength: 35,000 psi min

General Characteristics of A106B Seamless Pipe:

Designed for high temperatures

It can be formed through bending, flagging, and other similar operations

Typical Uses

Suitable for applications that involve the transfer of fluids and gasses at high pressure and temperature levels.

Common Industries and Applications

Petrochemical Plants

Oil & Gas Refineries and Processing Facilities

Boilers

Ships

What is ASTM a106b equivalent to?

ASTM A106 Grade B is equivalent to API 5L Grade B in terms of seamless carbon steel pipe specifications for high-temperature service. Both standards cover pipes suitable for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations, but they are used in different industries with slightly varying requirements.

How does A106B steel pipe compare to A53B?

Like their chemical composition, A106B and A53B steel have similar mechanical strengths; the major difference between the two lies in their production. A106 steel can only be seamless,, while A53 may be seamless or welded. Despite their minor differences in composition and strength, A106 steel can substitute for A53 provided that there is no need for a galvanized finish.

A106 steel comes in three grades: A, B, and C. BBN Steel routinely offers A106 Grade B pipe in a seamless format. Our pipes come in both standard lengths, 21 and 42, and we carry schedules 40, 80, 120, and 160. We can cut our pipe to any size and in several shapes.
