ASTM A106 Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe – Gr.B & Gr.C
*Schedule 40 / 80 / 160, High-Temperature Service, ASME B31.1 / B31.3*
What Is ASTM A106?
Key requirements (not found in A53 or API 5L):
| Requirement | ASTM A106 | ASTM A53 | API 5L PSL1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Killed steel | ✅ Mandatory | ❌ Not required | ❌ Not required |
| Hydrostatic test | ✅ 100% | ⚠️ Lot-based | ✅ 100% |
| Impact testing | ⚠️ Optional | ❌ Not covered | ⚠️ PSL2 only |
| Maximum carbon (Gr.B) | 0.30% | 0.30% | 0.26% (PSL2) |
A106 is not interchangeable with A53 or API 5L.If your specification calls for A106, we supply A106 – not an "equivalent".

ASTM A106 vs. A53 vs. API 5L – Critical Differences
| Feature | ASTM A106 Gr.B | ASTM A53 Gr.B | API 5L Gr.B PSL1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Killed steel | ✅ Mandatory | ❌ Not required | ❌ Not required |
| Hydrotest | ✅ 100% | ⚠️ Lot-based | ✅ 100% |
| NDT requirement | ❌ None | ❌ None | ❌ None (PSL1) |
| Impact testing | ⚠️ Optional | ❌ Not covered | ⚠️ PSL2 only |
| Typical use | High-temp piping | Structural/fluid | Pipeline |
? Impact Testing – When It Is Mandatory
ASTM A106 does not require impact testing by default.However, We offer impact testing at specified temperatures.Common requirements: 0°C, -20°C.
Applications – Where A106 Is Specified
| Industry | Application | Grade | Typical Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power generation | Main steam lines, boiler auxiliaries | Gr.B / Gr.C | 4"–12" Sch 80/160 |
| Oil refining | Hydrocracker, reformer, coker piping | Gr.B | 2"–10" Sch 40/80 |
| Petrochemical | Process piping, high-temp transfer lines | Gr.B | ½"–8" Sch 40 |
| Industrial utilities | High-pressure condensate, steam tracing | Gr.B | ½"–2" Sch 80 |
| Offshore platforms | Instrument air, utility systems | Gr.B | 2"–6" Sch 40 |
Quality Assurance – Every Order Includes
✅ EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Report – heat-specific chemistry, tensile, flattening, hydrotest
✅ Full heat traceability – from billet to finished pipe
✅ 100% hydrostatic test – pressure held ≥5 seconds
✅ Visual & dimensional inspection – OD, WT, straightness, end squareness
✅ ASME B31.1 / B31.3 compliance documentation upon request
