Benefits of ASTM A106 Steel Pipe

Pressure Tested

ASTM A106 pipe is pressure tested to allow for liquids and gases to be passed through it.

Corrosion Resistance

Carbon steel pipes can be resistant to corrosion due to the addition of lacquer coating, hot-dipped galvanizing, or zinc coating. This allows builders to use smaller, thinner pipes, even in environments that are acidic or extremely corrosive.

Shock Resistance

A106 steel pipe offers great resistance to vibration and shock.

High Tensile Strength

ASTM A106-tested steel pipe has higher tensile strengths than the welded pipe which make it safe to use in situations with very high pressures.

Cost-Effective

No matter the pressure that needs to be withstood, carbon A106 steel pipe can be much thinner than other types of pipes. This means that they have a greater carrying capacity than other pipes.
