SA-106B Mechanical Structure Tube
ASTM SA-106B Mechanical structure seamless pipe is a type of steel pipe formed by punching through round steel, with no welds on the surface. According to the production method, seamless steel pipes are divided into hot-rolled seamless steel pipes, cold-rolled seamless steel pipes, cold-drawn seamless steel pipes, and hot-expanded seamless steel pipes. Seamless steel pipes are classified into two types based on their cross-sectional shape: circular and special-shaped.
The ASTM SA-106B is a standard specification for seamless carbon steel pipe that is commonly used in high-temperature service applications. This type of pipe is primarily designed to handle the transportation of fluids and gases in critical systems such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing plants. The material properties of ASTM SA-106B make it an ideal choice for applications requiring durability and strength under both high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
Material Composition
The ASTM SA-106B grade pipe is primarily composed of carbon steel, with the following approximate chemical composition:
Carbon (C): 0.30% max
Manganese (Mn): 0.60% – 0.90%
Phosphorus (P): 0.035% max
Sulfur (S): 0.035% max
Silicon (Si): 0.10% – 0.35%
The relatively high carbon content allows the material to withstand higher stress, making it suitable for applications where high strength and durability are necessary.
Mechanical Properties
ASTM SA-106B offers impressive mechanical properties, including:
Tensile Strength: 60,000 to 85,000 psi (414 to 586 MPa)
Yield Strength: 35,000 psi (241 MPa) minimum
Elongation: 20% minimum in 8 inches (200 mm) and 23% in 2 inches (50 mm)
Hardness: The maximum hardness is typically 85 HRB.
These properties ensure that the SA-106B pipe is robust and reliable under varying pressures and temperatures, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
High-Temperature Resistance
One of the most notable characteristics of ASTM SA-106B is its ability to perform well under high-temperature conditions. The material is designed to resist oxidation and deterioration at temperatures up to 750°F (399°C). This makes it an excellent choice for steam, hot water, and other applications that involve high-temperature fluids or gases.
Seamless Design
The pipe is manufactured using the seamless process, which means that there are no welded seams. This gives ASTM SA-106B pipe greater strength, as it avoids weaknesses that can arise at weld points. The seamless design also makes it resistant to corrosion and leakage, ensuring long-term performance in harsh operating conditions.
Application
Application scope of seamless steel pipes is very wide, including structures, fluid transportation, low to medium pressure boilers, high-pressure boilers, fertilizer equipment, petroleum cracking, geological drilling, diamond core drilling, petroleum drilling, ships, automotive half-shaft sleeves, diesel engines, etc. The use of seamless steel pipes will ensure no leakage problems, guarantee the usage effect, and improve material utilization. It can be seen that the application of seamless steel pipes mainly covers three major fields. The first is the construction field, which can be used for underground pipeline transportation, including extracting groundwater during construction. The second is the processing field, which can be used for mechanical processing, bearing sleeves, etc. The third is the electrical field, including gas pipelines and fluid pipelines for hydropower generation.
