Ship Building Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe , ASTM A106 Grade B Pipe
Hot Rolled / Cold Drawn
ASTM A106 seamless pressure pipe (also known as ASME SA106 pipe) is
commonly used in the construction of oil and gas refineries, power
plants, petrochemical plants, boilers, and ships where the piping
must transport fluids and gases that exhibit higher temperatures
and pressure levels.
ASTM A106 Seamless Pressure Pipe (also known as ASME SA106 pipe)
covers seamless carbon steel nominal wall pipe for high-temperature
service. Suitable for bending, flanging and similar forming
operations.
For OD>325mm, we use cold drawn method; for OD<325mm, we use
hot rolled method.
