ASTM A106 Grade C Pipe

The ASTM A106 Grade C Pipe is carbon steel pipes used for the high pressure and high temperature applications. They are also known as ASME SA 106 pipes and are popular for the applications in construction of gas and oil refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, boilers and ships and various other places where the pipe lines are required to transport fluids from one place to another in an industry. These pipes have excellent strength, can resist corrosion, have the ability to handle high pressure and can perform their best in high temperatures as well.

The ASTM A106 Grade C Pipe is generally available in three grades namely Grade A, Grade B and Grade C. These grades are defines according to the chemical composition, mechanical composition, strength as well as tensile strength of the pipes. When we talk about the ASTM A106 Grade C Pipe, they are known to have the highest tensile as well as yield strength as compared to the other two grades.

These pipes are available in seamless and welded form depending upon the customers need. The ASTM A106 Grade C Pipe is suitable for flanging and bending and their permissible wall thickness must not be more than 12.5 percent. However the other specifications of the pipe like its size, length, diameter and form can be changed by the manufacturer according to customers demand. The Grade C pipes are said to have tensile strength of 70000 min, psi and yield strength of 40000 min, psi. If you are looking for the right pipe line for transportation of fluids then ASTM A106 Grade C Pipe could be a great option.
