A106 Pipe Specifications

A/SA106
NPS 1/4"- 30"
Schedules 10 through 160, ST, !" and !!"
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 ma! be either hot finished or cold drawn. NPS 2 and larger shall be hot finished
unless otherwise specified.
Process
"illed steel, with primar! melting process being open-hearth, basic-o#!gen, or electric-furnace, possibl!
combined with separate degassing or refining.
Steel cast in ingots or strand cast is permissible.
$ot-finished pipe need not be heat treated.
Cold-drawn pipe shall be heat treated after the final cold draw pass.
