ASTM A106 seamless steel pipe is an American standard seamless steel pipe made of ordinary carbon steel series. A106 includes A106-A and A106-B. The former is equivalent to the domestic 10# material, and the latter is equivalent to the domestic 20# material. It belongs to the ordinary carbon steel series and is one of the commonly used materials. General seamless steel pipes suitable for transporting fluids, equivalent to domestic GB8163 fluid seamless steel pipes.
ASTM A106 seamless steel pipe includes two processes: cold drawing and hot rolling. In addition to the different production processes, the two are different in precision, surface quality, minimum size, mechanical properties, and organizational structure. It is widely used in various industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, boilers, power stations, ships, machinery manufacturing, automobiles, aviation, aerospace, energy, geology, construction and military industry.
A106 pipe is widely used in power plants to transport high-temperature steam. It is used in fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power plants. And it is widely used in the oil and gas industry to transport fluids such as oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons. It is suitable for upstream and downstream applications including exploration, production, refining and transportation. It is also used in refineries to transport fluids in high temperature and high pressure processes. This includes the transportation of crude oil, refined petroleum products and various chemicals. It is also commonly used in high-pressure steam pipelines and boilers. It is suitable for conveying steam under high temperature and pressure.
