ASTM A106 A106M Standard Specification

What is ASTM A106 A106M Standard?

ASTM A106 A106M Standard Specification for Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High Temperature Applications, is a specification that covers seamless carbon steel pipe for high temperature applications. These pipes are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, as well as in power plants and other high temperature applications.
ASTM A106 A106M specification covers seamless pipe made of carbon steel. The specification also covers pipes used in high-temperature environments, meaning they can withstand temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
A key benefit of using ASTM A106 A106M seamless carbon steel pipes is that they have a high resistance to high temperatures and pressures. This makes them well suited for applications where both conditions exist, such as power plants and oil and gas pipelines.
ASTM A106 A106M seamless carbon steel pipes have excellent mechanical properties in addition to high temperature and pressure resistance. They are strong and durable and can withstand a wide range of pressures. This makes them ideal for use in a variety of different applications, including construction, transportation, and even industrial machinery.
Another important aspect of ASTM A106 A106M seamless carbon steel pipes is that they are manufactured to very precise specifications. This ensures that they are of the highest quality and will meet the needs of the applications in which they are used.

ASTM A106 A106M Standard Specification

1.SCOPE

1.1 This specification covers seamless carbon steel pipe for high-temperature service (Note 1) in NPS 1⁄8 to NPS 48 [DN 6 to DN 1200] (Note 2) inclusive, with nominal (average) wall thickness as given in ASME B 36.10M. It shall be permissible to furnish pipe having other dimensions provided such pipe complies with all other requirements of this specification. Pipe ordered under this specification shall be suitable for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations, and for welding.When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that a welding procedure suitable to the grade of steel and intended use or service will be utilized.

• NOTE 1—It is suggested, consideration be given to possible graphitization.
• NOTE 2—The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) [DN (diameter nominal)] has been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as “nominal diameter,” “size,” and “nominal size.”

1.2 Supplementary requirements of an optional nature are provided for seamless pipe intended for use in applications where a superior grade of pipe is required. These supplementary requirements call for additional tests to be made and when desired shall be so stated in the order.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Sections 11, 12, and 13 of this specification:

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
