What is ASTM A106B Steel Pipe?

ASTM A106B steel pipe, also called A106 seamless pressure pipe and ASME SA106 pipe, is commonly used in applications requiring fluids or gasses to be transported at high temperatures. It is found in power plants, oil and gas refineries, petrochemical processing plants, and similar facilities.

• See ASTM A106B Specification Sheet for more.

What is A53 Steel Used For?

ASTM A53 steel pipe, also known as ASME SA53 pipe, can be used in mechanical or high-pressure applications and general steam, water, gas, or air transportation systems. It is ideal for welding and is often applied for any operation utilizing coiling, bending, and flanging.

• See ASTM A53 Specification Sheet for more.

What are the Steel Properties of ASTM A1085?

ASTM A1085 steel tube standards apply to hollow structural sections (HSS) in any shape or size. HSS provides enhanced performances in seismic environments or fatigue-related applications. ASTM A1085 steel properties include tighter wall thickness tolerances for increased efficiency.
