ASTM A106

ASTM A106 is a standard specification for seamless carbon steel pipes used mainly in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, such as oil and gas pipelines. It ensures the pipes have consistent quality, strength, and corrosion resistance. The steel used is primarily carbon steel, which provides durability and the ability to withstand extreme conditions without breaking or corroding quickly. This standard sets the requirements for material composition, manufacturing, testing, and dimensions, helping engineers and builders select reliable piping that performs safely and efficiently in demanding environments.
