ASTM A106 is a specification for seamless carbon steel pipe for high-temperature service. It has a maximum carbon content of 0.30% and a maximum manganese content of 1.20%, making it a low-carbon steel with good strength and toughness. This material is suitable for use in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, such as power generation, chemical processing, and petroleum refining. Additionally, it has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used in outdoor environments without requiring additional protection.
The normal use cases for ASTM A106 include transportation of fluids and gases, as well as structural applications in the construction industry. It is also commonly used in the manufacturing of boilers, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels. Its strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance make it a popular choice for a wide range of applications that require durability and reliability in high-temperature environments.
At FastMetals.com, ASTM A106 is available in black galvanized steel pipe. The black steel pipe is available in sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 3 inches in diameter. The galvanized steel pipe is available in lengths from 1 foot to 8 feet and can be custom cut to length. Both types of steel pipe are available in standard and extra-heavy wall thicknesses to accommodate different application requirements.
The standard covers pipe sizes in NPS (National Standard Straight) from 1/8 inch to 48 inches (10.3mm DN6 – 1219mm DN1200). It also complies with the nominal wall thickness specified in ASME B 36.10M. For sizes that are not covered by ASME B 36.10M, this standard specification can still be used.
The materials used for the ASTM A106 standard specification should be suitable for bending, flanging, or similar forming processes. If the steel material is to be welded, the welding process should be appropriate for this grade of ASTM A106 and suitable for high-temperature working environments.
In cases where a superior or higher grade of ASTM A106 steel pipe is required, the standard provides an optional specification for supplementary requirements. Additionally, these supplementary specifications require additional testing to be conducted when placing an order for pipes that adhere to this standard.

The ASTM A106 standard specifications for seamless steel pipes consist of three grades: ASTM A106 Gr. A, Gr. B, and Gr. C. With higher-grade materials, the strength performance is improved.
The test methods for ASTM A106 grades A, B, and C include flattening tests, hydrostatic tests, nondestructive electric tests, ultrasonic tests, eddy current tests, and flux leakage tests. These test procedures should be communicated and confirmed with the client to determine which specific tests will be applied.
