ASTM A106 Grade B Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe For Refineries

ASTM A106 Grade B Seamless Pipe For High Temperature Service

Description

ASTM A106 covers seamless carbon steel pipe for high‑temperature service. It is the standard specification for pipe used in refineries, power plants, and other industrial facilities where elevated temperatures and pressures are encountered. The pipe is suitable for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations, and is available in three grades: A, B, and C.

Seamless Steel Pipe Manufacturing Process

The process begins with solid steel rounds, or billets, being cut to a specified length and sent through a walking-beam reheat furnace, where temperatures reach nearly 2,300°F. After exiting the reheat furnace, the preheated rounds are turned into a tube shell in the rotary piercing mill as the billets are cross-rolled between two barrel-shaped rolls at a high speed.

The seamless shells enter mandrel mill, where they are rolled over a retained mandrel to provide the needed OD size and wall thickness for the next process. The process is carefully monitored using a state-of-the-art hot-wall measuring system. The shells are then reheated for final forming in a 24-stand stretch-reducing mill, where outside diameters are formed to customers’ exacting specifications. Wall thickness is again verified using a hot-wall measuring system. After being rotated and advanced on the walking-beam cooling bed, the pipes are batch cut and transferred to an in-process storage area, where they are handled by computer-controlled gantry cranes.
