ASTMA106 Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High Temperature Service

Scope 
Covers seamless carbon steel nominal wall pipe for high-temperature service. Suitable for bending, flanging and similar forming operations. 
NPS 1-1/2" and under may be either hot finished or cold drawn. NPS 2" and larger shall be hot finished unless otherwise specified.

Process 
Killed steel, with primary melting process being open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace, possibly combined with separate degassing or refining. 
Steel cast in ingots or strand cast is permissible. 
Hot-finished pipe need not be heat treated. 
Cold-drawn pipe shall be heat treated after the final cold draw pass. 

Chemical Requirements

Total of Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, and V shall not exceed 1% 
Permissible Variations in Wall Thickness 
The minimum wall thickness at any point shall not be more than 12.5% under the nominal wall thickness specified. 
Permissible Variations in Weights per Foot 
Weight of any length shall not vary more than 10% over and 3.5% under that specified. NOTE -- NPS 4 and smaller -- weighed in lots. Larger sizes shall be weighed separately by length. 
Permissible Variations in Outside Diameter 
Outside Diameter at any point shall not vary from standard specified more than:

Tensile Requirements

Number of Tests Required

Hydrostatic Testing 
Inspection test pressures produce a stress in the pipe wall equal to 60% of specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) at room temperature. Maximum Pressures are not to exceed 2500 psi for NPS3 and must stay under 2800 psi for the larger sizes. Pressure is maintained for not less than 5 seconds. 

Mechanical Tests Specified 
Tensile Test -- NPS 8 and larger -- either transverse or longitudinal acceptable Smaller than NPS 8 -- weighed in lots. Larger sizes -- by length. Flattening Test -- NPS 2-1/2 and larger. Bending Test (Cold) -- NPS 2 and under.

Lengths 
Lengths required shall be specified on order. No "jointers" permitted unless otherwise specified. If no definite lengths required, following practice applies: Single Random -- 17' ~ 24' lengths Double Random -- 36' ~ 44' lengths 

Required Markings on Each Length 
(On Tags attached to each Bundle in case of Bundled Pipe) Rolled, Stamped, or Stenciled (Mfrs. Option) Manufacturer's name or brand. Length of pipe. A106 A, A 106 B, A 106 C. ANSI schedule number. Hydrostatic test pressures and/or NDE; Weight per foot (NPS 4 and larger) or NH if neither is specified. Additional "S" if tested supplementary requirements. 
 

General Information 
Orders for material under this specification should include the following, as required, to describe the desired material adequately:
