What Is ASTM A106 / ASME SA106 Pipe and How Is It Made?

ASTM A106 seamless pipe is a Carbon Steel High-Temperature Seamless Pipe designed for:

  • Steam
  • Oil
  • Gas
  • Water
  • High-pressure & high-temperature fluids

It is commonly used in pipelines that operate at temperatures above 425°C and under constant pressure.

Manufacturing Steps:

  1. Billet Selection & Heating: High-quality carbon steel billets are heated uniformly for piercing.
  2. Rotary Piercing / Hot Rolling: Billets are pierced to form seamless shells and then rolled to achieve uniform thickness.
  3. Cold Drawing (where required): Used for precision OD/WT control, improved mechanical properties, and smoother finish.
  4. Heat Treatment (Normalizing / Stress-Relieving): Pipes are normalized or stress-relieved to enhance performance under high temperatures.
  5. Hydrostatic Testing: Ensures leak-tight operation under internal pressure.
  6. NDT & Final Inspection: Ultrasonic testing, eddy-current testing, visual inspection, and dimensional checks ensure ASTM A106 compliance.

This rigorous production ensures that every ASTM A106 pipe from Inox Steel India is fit for extreme temperature and pressure conditions.
